![]() With the War Of The Ring turnbased campaign also receiving some minor though effective tweaks, this is one add-on pack you should snap up like a slavering Warg.I recently went by to try and play BFME2/ROTWK again, after a hiatus due to life in general, and discovered my display and resolution are all messed up. However, be warned: Witch-King's epic battles are far more power hungry than its predecessor's, and you'll need at least a 256MB 3D card to truly enjoy them. ![]() ![]() Some excellent new units, including Snow Trolls that hammer through enemy ranks like legions of charging cavalry, coupled with an array of imaginative new Heroes provide plenty of variety, while the proactive Al and numerous hotspots on many maps give missions that frenetic edge so sorely missing from the full version. The plot is also worth an honourable mention, admirably charting the Witch-king of Angmar's invasion of Amor. So what's different? Well for starters, the tedious, overly linear and one-dimensional trawls that passed themselves off as battlefields in BFME2 have been replaced by far more challenging skirmishes, which stretch your strategic prowess to far greater lengths than before, if never quite pushing you to your limits. Then again, perhaps it isn't such a shock, given that this add-on is a PC-only title, unlike the console-orientated The Lord of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth II. No, not that there's still enough room to fit a review on this page after the longest title in gaming history, but that this expansion pack is actually better than the original game.
