Item Description

Every order you give in The Lord of the Rings: Tactics goes out at the same moment your opponent's does. Rather than taking turns piece by piece, both sides commit their moves and then watch them play out together across a grid battlefield, which makes every battle a game of prediction. A strict zone of control rule means any unit that ends up beside an enemy must stop and fight, so the real skill lies in guessing where the other side is heading and closing the trap before they can slip through.

The Fellowship campaign follows the film trilogy from Weathertop through the Mines of Moria, the Plains of Rohan, the Westfold, the Road to Isengard and the Black Gate, ending at Mount Doom. A handful of heroes do the heavy lifting, among them Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Faramir, Frodo and Sam and both Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White, supported by the men of Rohan, Silvan Elves, Ents and even the Dead Men of Dunharrow. Those heroes grow stronger as the war goes on through a deep tree of skill, weapon and ability upgrades.

The bigger draw may be the chance to switch sides. Sauron's campaign hands you the Witch-king of Angmar, Saruman, Lurtz, Gothmog and the Mouth of Sauron, backed by Uruk-hai, Wargs, trolls, Mûmakil and the Balrog itself. Terrain matters for both armies: high ground, deep water, ruins and woodland can turn a straightforward skirmish into an ambush, and learning to read the map is half the battle.

Released by Electronic Arts in November 2005, during the PSP's first year, Tactics drew middling-to-solid reviews, and its appeal is easy to pin down. It takes the epic scale of the films and boils it down to tight, readable battles that fit a handheld, with a simultaneous-turn system that sets it apart from most tactics games of its era. It is a rare chance to fight the War of the Ring on a grid, and rarer still to fight it for Mordor.
