With all new content from J.R.R. Tolkien's original fiction, delve deeper than ever before and engage in new battles that go beyond the award-winning movie trilogy. Defend or overtake lands such as Dol Guldur, The Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood as you unleash powerful new weapons and abilities: summon dragons, cause volcanoes to erupt, or bring down a cataclysmic lightning strike. Wage war in the North and assume command of the most storied civilizations in all of Middle-earth history--the Elven and Dwarven armies--or fight on the side of Evil with heroes and creatures that have never been seen in The Lord of the Rings films.
