The Criticism section needs work. 203.215.118.11 04:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

On that note, anyone else think the term "lambasted" is a little strong? Most of the reviews I see here [1] are between 80-90%, which is pretty good. 68.54.120.12 23:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

The link in his name leads to a list of Orcs in the series...that doesn't actually contain his name. I'd like to remove the link since it's misleading, but it would be infinitely better if someone with knowledge of him added him to the list. ENSSB (talk) 22:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Game Box Picture

edit

Does someone else have a newer version of the Game Box, perferbly without the RP rating?--SirNuke 00:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I do! But the game itself won't work. --D-hyo 15:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gameplay

edit

Can you control individual characters in this game or can you only control individual units? Does the game have hack and slash, or is it just about strategy? Scorpionman 16:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You control individuals and it's about strategy.--D-hyo 15:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Actually, you only control heroes (i.e. named characters) indiviadally, as well as certain larger units such as trolls - all other types are controlled as units. Ygoloxelfer 13:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gondorians?

edit

I don't think the word "Gondorians" was ever used in The Lord of the Rings. It's usually "Men of Gondor" or something similar. So shouldn't it be changed?

PS if you do find "Gondorians" in LOTR tell me in what chapter!

- As far as I know it's not in the books, however it is used in the game interchangeably with "Men of Gondor".

Narration

edit

It is said that the narration of the campaign of good is done by Ian Mc Kellen as Gandalf. Is it so? I have the spanish version of the game, and such narrations are done by a female voice. It isn't the voice of the spanish traduction of Galadriel (well, none of the voice actors seem to be the same), but I guess it's supposed to be her. But one thing is for sure: it isn't the wizard

What happens then in the english version? Is it narrated by Gandalf indeed, and the spanish version took the huge liberty of replacing his narration by that of another character? Or is the current mention a mistake, and the narration is done by Galadriel? --Perón 03:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

To my knowledge from playing the game, the narration is indeed done by Gandalf. However, I never bothered to do the whole campaign, so...--Clyde (talk)
In the entire campaign, the narration is done by Gandalf. It is not a mistake, and EA most likely didn't bother to find a male to do the Spanish narration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jasnator (talkcontribs) 01:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC).Reply

Spelling

edit

Moby Games has the second 'e' in 'Middle-Earth' capitalized. Which is correct? SharkD 00:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Demo

edit

Why wasn't a demo released for this game? It was for the sequel, but not this one. I was pretty disappointed about that especially because my computer cannot handle the second one, so have no idea whether the first one is something my computer *can* handle and is worth buying. And from what I can remember, some others felt disappointed as well. I think it's worthy of a mention in the article. -- WiccaIrish (talk) 09:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Should there be a section on the Worldbuider Tool? Just wondering.--10000 Walls (talk) 10:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please go ahead and add it in yourself, if you can! Haven't used it myself. Spiritaway5177 (talk) 04:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can anyone please add more images this article? It looks totally crap to be honest. KeeperOfTheKeys (talk) 22:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
