Customers say
Customers find this Xbox 360 game to be a great RTS experience, with one noting it's as good as the PC version.
What a great game! They adapted a computer game seamlessly to a console. I don't know how they managed but the controls are very easy and intuitive. Clearly not as much as a computer itself with all the keys and hot keys available, but very easy to use. A great fun game for any fan of Lord of the Rings or just strategy games in general Read more
I previously had this on PC years ago and saw this listed for the Xbox. Haven’t had anything I couldn’t install/ play yet and wouldn’t you know it … won’t install. Probably related to licensing as it was on PC. Great game is you can install and play. Hold no Ill will towards seller. They shipped quickly and the product was received in the condition as stated. Would purchase from them again. Hope this info helps someone out Read more
I hate it only for one reason: The controls suck. I played the first one on PC, and liked it, and , having played Starcraft 1 and its expansion on the N64 when that was done and finding that game both similar to the PC version and still very easily playable, I bought this game, thinking it'd be the same way. Nope. Trying to play THIS game on a console is a major pain in the arse. I'm sure the game would be fun if I could actually select the units I wanted in a timely fashion so my army does not get torn a new one by the second enemy force that attacks it from the side, or perhaps if I could pull my heroes out of the fight to give them time to recover, but just trying to select ONE unit in a group of units is nearly impossible with this version of the game.

Love this game and it was used and in great condition Read more
This game is a little less refined than C&C but it has more options to build the races and there are special characters that add a whole new dimension that C&C doesn't have. At first I didn't like the game and let it sit for about 6 months. But then I started gettting into it and played a few online games which really got me going. Be advised though that you have to go through a lot of single player missions perfectly before you have a chance at going online against people that have won the single player game already and recieved bonus heros. C&C is more refined, much more like the old Starcraft. I'd rate them even. Read more

We bought this game for my boys - 5 and 10 - for Christmas. We already have the PC version, but that doesnt stop them from playing it constantly. It uses the soundtrack from the movie, which makes it decent listening to as their game system is in the same room where my PC is. Most games I have them turning off the sound very promptly. My husband says the PC version has better control than the Xbox version, but the boys dont mind. Worth the investment. Read more
This game plays out like Civilization 3. You control groups of peasants, troops, hero's, and other beasts as you build, destroy, plunder, and conquer your way across various maps. It's all top-down view and some of the controls feel... awkward with the 360 controller. I'm not saying that any other console controller would feel better, but I think this game should have been left for play on the PC with the use of the Mouse and Keyboard. I was hoping this game would play out more like the older LOTR games for (original)Xbox. That 3rd person view made for lots of fun as you commanded your character through harrowing tasks. I was really looking forward to bringing that style of play to life with the great graphics of the 360. Not so... Boo urns... Read more
