The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II plus Collectors Edition
From LoveToKnow VideoGames
Electronic Arts has announced what could be the start of a new trend in the video game industry. The upcoming video game The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II (PC, Feb 2006) ships with a Collector's Edition of the game packed with interviews, trailers, behind-the-scenes info, a full DVD of content and a whole lot more. Owners of this Collector's Edition also get access to a few unique in-game units, maps and features.. The Collector's Edition will retail for approximately $59.95.
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tokien's masterpiece of fantasy literature, has seen incarnations in every form of media available. After the hit movies by director Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings video games were given a new life by publisher EA (Electronic Arts). EA received an exclusive license from Tolkien Enterprises that allows them to create video games based on the books and films. These games must be met with the approval of Tolkien Enterprises before reaching store shelves, meaning the games are remarkably true to the original stories.
