It wasn't all that bad either, as far as I recall, but my memories of playing it are so vague that I can only assume it was actively forgettable. In this universe, my most recent memory of a Tolkien strategy game is 2004's elegantly titled The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth. In an alternate universe, Total War: Middle-Earth II just emerged from Creative Assembly, and Monolith have just released Warhammer: Shadow of Warhammer into the world. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
