Lord of the Rings : Rise of the Witch King
Graphics:
The graphics in this game are very impressive for a RTS. On very high all the units are very detailed and when zoomed out the view is very pretty to see. In the lower settings the graphics still look reasonable for a RTS you will only reliase a considerable difference if you look carefully when zoomed in or there are little animations on buildings.
Sound:
The Lord of the Rings music has always been pleaseant to listen too. Its nothing that will really make you notice it but then again i dont think you would want distracting music in a RTS. The music can get a bit irratationg after youve been playing for a few hours. ( it got very tiresome after playing a game for 9 hours:)). It would benefit if you could import your own music.
Replay Value:
The campaign on the game is fairly short. if your an experienced RTS player you will whizz through it no problem even on Brutal difficulty. It also offers Skirmish mode and War of ring modes aswell which can be played. The main thing that offers the real replay factor on this game though is the online play. When playing online games are very funa and usually if in a good game games last a lengthy time. If your a person that dosent have much time to play this game probably isnt the best for you as games normally last at least 30 mins unless ur playing a noob.
Value:
I rate this game to have good value for money, so if you dont have this game go get it now!! With a new faction to play as and new units and hereos added onto the already 6 existing factions this expansion is well worth a go. Also the price of this game is very encouraging at £15. Also You will need a DVD drive to install the game.
