The missions were a blend of scripted sequences and base/settlement capturing/building, and contained nothing surprising for a veteran of the genre. It had some of Howard Shore's music from the Peter Jackson films on its soundtrack and that made it feel like an adaptation of those films rather than the books. It wasn't all that bad either, as far as I recall, but my memories of playing it are so vague that I can only assume it was actively forgettable. In this universe, my most recent memory of a Tolkien strategy game is 2004's elegantly titled The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth. In an alternate universe, Total War: Middle-Earth II just emerged from Creative Assembly, and Monolith have just released Warhammer: Shadow of Warhammer into the world. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
