Most games with a literary or movie license don't always live up to the mystique of that license. Without the familiar setting, the game could just as easily be a generic RTS or RPG. The obvious reason for the license is to draw in fans, but those fans can become the toughest critics if the game doesn't measure up. Enter The Battle for Middle-earth, touched by the Tolkien license and Peter Jackson's films, and imbued with the personality of the team that created Red Alert 2 and C&C Generals. While veteran RTS players may have some nits to pick with the relatively solid gameplay, those same fans of The Lord of the Rings series should find that the game shines as a playable re-creation of Tolkien's work.
