The battle for Middle Earth is yours to win or lose in this game that puts you in the action-packed center of the Lord of the Rings saga. Fight on both sides of the struggle for the One Ring in two distinct campaigns. One follows the LOTR storyline, the other (for the first time) unfolds as if Sauron had regained control of Gollum's precious.

Experience epic LOTR locations in massive battles with up to 150 on-screen characters. Local and online multiplayer add co-op and versus options for 4-16 players.
