Standing finally at the dark gate and i must say, after all this years, its a blast. It aged so well and integrated a fun, fast-paced strategic game with all the elements of Peter Jacksons Trilogy. On top you can play Mordor and Isengard in the evil campaign and finally smash Frodo in the Face, pure joy.
