EA deliver a solid Lord of the Rings RTS tuned for a controller with epic battles and a generous online mode. Tolkien fans will enjoy the well integrated heroes, and building Minas Tirith remains a real strategist's treat.

Lord of the Rings, The - The Battle for Middle-Earth II (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
The Asian edition of The Lord of the Rings - The Battle for Middle-Earth II, a rare console adaptation of an Electronic Arts real-time strategy born on PC, in its Asian-market pressing. Bringing an RTS to 360 was a tall order, and this pad version of a genre usually reserved for the computer was lightly produced. Desirability rests on the singularity of a Tolkien RTS playable with a controller on console and on the scarcity of this regional pressing.
