The game interface makes taking good shots without user interface clutter very tricky, and the limited zoom and camera rotation further gives disappointing results. Also, while the larger units are quite detailed, the smaller and generally more numerous units had fewer polygons and didn't look very good close-up (especially the faces, even for the heroes). We instead present a series of screenshots from the game that were made by the developers and displayed while various maps and missions were loaded.

The game includes a vast number of scenes from the Peter Jackson (director) Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy . Many of these are small, short clips that were played as a mini-introduction to a geographic region or a hero. Others were static scenes tinted in sepia and displayed when the game was loading a mission. We have compiled these and presented them on this page.

Fantasy artwork from The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth real-time strategy game. These Good Campaigns are based on the novel, and closely follow the Peter Jackson movie version (e.g., special "berserker" uruk-hai scale the siege ladders first at Helm's Deep ), but the actual outcome of key events are tilted toward Good or Evil, depending on the campaign. For example, Boromir dies at Amon Hen in the novel, but in the Good Campaign it is possible to rescue him and defeat all the uruk-hai.

Fantasy artwork from The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth real-time strategy game. These Evil Campaigns are based on the novel, and closely follows the Peter Jackson movie version (e.g., the Uruk-Hai Lurtz, who does not appear in the novels), but the actual outcome of key events are tilted toward Good or Evil. In the case of the Evil Campaign, the sequence of events is entirely speculative, where the forces of Light win no key battles and the Ring is recovered at Shelob's Lair. Heroes are defeated time and again, but for plot or game challenge reasons resurface later. The campaign ultimately ends with a successful siege of Minas Tirith.
