The last mission in an epilogue portion is disappointingly anti-climactic. Amon Sul is clever enough to be fun, but the design of the walls around the fortress and responsiveness of the enemies inside isn't quite what I'd hoped it would be. It plays almost the same as it did the first time around with the only major differences from improved AI and the forces involved. Even the final mission takes place on a map that's simply retooled for the time period. High points like the Dark Lord's Eye scenario are accompanied by missions like a defensive siege at Carn Dum which compared to previous games, just isn't as exciting. Campaign scenarios vary from decent to great. While an epilogue level gives players the chance to step into the shoes of the good races, this expansion's campaign is all about evil. The expansion pack focuses on the Witch-king's campaign to destroy the kingdoms of men in the north. Plenty happened in the 3000 year absence of the One Ring, including a major brawl in the northern lands of men between the kingdoms of Arnor and Angmar.
MIDDLE EARTH RISE OF THE WITCH KING MODS MOVIE
The history of Middle-earth is gigantic enough that 3000 years pass between the Last Alliance battle shown at the beginning of the first Lord of the Rings movie and Bilbo's discovery of the One Ring in The Hobbit. It's not the most exciting expansion pack of the year, but it adds enough new content and fixes that fans of BFME 2 shouldn't be disappointed. The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II - The Rise of the Witch-king adds a decent new campaign, a new faction, and new units to existing factions while improving other aspects of gameplay like War of the Ring mode and Create-a-Hero. Since the whole history of Tolkein's fully developed fantasy universe could be accessed, EA decided to take a trip back in time and give players a chance to glimpse the battles that caused the downfall of the kingdoms of men and the rise of Mordor's greatest captain.
MIDDLE EARTH RISE OF THE WITCH KING MODS LICENSE
With the game's success and such a powerful combined book and movie license backing it up, it's unsurprising to see an expansion pack. While not quite as tactically savvy a game as September's Company of Heroes, Battle for Middle-earth II deserves some credit for presenting the world of Middle-earth with such clarity and fun. Earlier this year, EA released an excellent entertainment option in the RTS universe.
