Also, neben dem Developer Video auf Gamespot gibt es heute noch ein paar sehr nette Neuigkeiten für alle, die nicht genug von SuM bekommen können.
1) Auf Fileplanet gibt es das neue „Inside the Battle 9“ in einer High und Super-High Version zum runterladen.
2) Ign.com hat endlich auch ein Review zu SuM veröffentlicht. Es ist damit das erste offizielle amerikanische Review, welche das Spiel mit 83% bewertet.
Ein Auszug:
The Lord of the Rings has been used in video games before, but never to as great an effect before the movies began releasing. The popularity of those films drove production of games based on both the movies and the books, which were sold as separate licenses. At this point, there have been several games about the different movies from Electronic Arts, but all of them let players take the role of one of the Fellowship heroes in the game without allowing players to see the bigger picture of the struggle for Middle-earth. Vivendi released War of the Ring a little over a year ago but managed to create a title that while decent, wasn“t particularly inspiring, nor did it really capture the feel of the series.
Passend dazu gibt es auch neue Screenshots, die ihr euch hier ansehen könnt.

3) Als letztes hat nun auch Gamespy seinen „Senf“ zum Spiel abgegeben. Bewertet haben sie SuM mit 4/5, was ungefähr einer Wertung von 80% entspricht.
Ein Auszug:
The game was originally billed as a game where Tolkien fans could play without being overwhelmed by the traditional micromanagement or interface of a real-time strategy game. To that end, players can opt to go to Battle School, which is a non-playable tutorial on how to play the game. Veteran RTS players may not need it, but the presentation is user-friendly. If players choose to jump right in to the single-player campaign, they can opt for good or evil, with the good side focusing on Rohan and Gondor and the evil side drawing from Isengard and Mordor (along with their Rhun and Haradrim allies)
