The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II for Xbox 360 Review

And, yes, the big surprise is that here’s a real-time strategy game that works on a console, and the world didn’t come to an end.

I am very pleasantly surprised. Playing the demo with the tutorial really shows that a console controller can do an RTS game. I didn’t think there was anyway in heck it would work well.

Try the demo before you buy though. It’s very different than a keyboard and mouse. There’s a chance you may not like it (that’s what demos are for.)
