  1. The Rise of the Witch-King is a fairly standard expansion that adds a brief campaign centered around one of the more enigmatic characters from the movies.

    More LOTR action is always welcome, be aware that Rise doesn't add a whole lot on. [Feb. 2007, p.67]

    With Rise of the Witch-King, EA has officially left precious few licensing stones unturned. [Mar 2007, p.64]
  4. For those gamers that were fans of the original from a single player aspect, Rise of the Witch King doesn't really add that much more such it should grab your attention. For die-hard Lord of the Rings fans, the minimal content additions will likely be enough.

    Ultimately, Rise is meant for the BFME hardcore. [Christmas 2006, p.74]
  6. Unlike the original game, which offered the freedom to choose sides, this expansion pack forces players into the dark shoes of Sauron's henchman.

    Arkadaşlarla multiplayer oynaması çok keyifliydi. Sürekli elf olup gümüş okçu basardım. Yapılmış en iyi lotr oyunu olabilir.

    The campaign missions are much better than BFME2. I love what they did to War of the Ring and Create-a-Hero too.
