The battle for Middle-earth is about to begin…

Built upon the acclaimed Command & Conquer™ Generals 3D game engine, The Battle for Middle-earth allows you to command the forces of light or darkness in two separate campaigns.  You'll have to choose your forces wisely, since each army has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, you'll have to choose from a variety of offensive and defensive strategies in order to lead your side to victory in the memorable battle locations taken straight from the big screen. Complete with all of the epic music, actor voices, and other film assets seamlessly integrated into the game, The Battle for Middle-earth offers a truly memorable entertainment experience. 

The Battle for Middle-earth was developed at EA Los Angeles by the same team that created the award-winning RTS hits Commander & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 2 and Command & Conquer™ Generals.
