Pros: The epic scale suits the graphics power and extra screen real estate of the Xbox 360-TV combination.
Cons: Complex visuals sometimes struggle to refresh when you scroll across the landscape.
Verdict: Nothing here that isn't in the PC version but the Xbox 360 graphics bring Middle Earth to life and the online capability on Xbox Live brings this real-time strategy game to a new audience.
Censor's classification: 12+
