I have the demo of this game. It seems good and is dirt cheap. Should I buy it? Or does anyone know of any sites were I can get it for free?

I bought it cause it was cheap. It's really fun to play through a few times. It has lousy replay value, but since it is cheap who cares. The battles, especially assaulting a castle are really fun.

I believe the battle model of LotR2 is just ripped off from RT games, add to that that they're primitive compared to that of the best RT games, you can conclude that it's not for the battles you should buy the game but for the resource management part. If you like that part atleast.

Its a good diverting little game. Won't get you hundreds of hours of game play, but you'll get your money worth if you find it cheap. I play it once in a while still... Tig

Just a little short game. You will play it for a while and then leave it over there.
Nice musics, not so nice graphics, nice quotes, not so nice random events. Attacking a castle is fun, at the beginning.

I've only played it about fifty times.
Playing on the New England map is fun.
Where as civ2 i've played about, uh, er, 1,000,000,000 times. Give or take a million or so.
