Battle For Middle-earth Ii Rages In 360 Screens

It's not often an RTS makes the transition from PC to console, and it's an even rarer occasion when a strategy game makes the leap successfully. EA games is attempting to bridge the gap between the two platforms, with an Xbox 360 port of their stellar Lord of the Rings RTS The Battle for Middle-Earth II.
Take a look at these latest console screenshots and you can see that - at least visually - little has been lost in the transition from PC to Xbox 360. While the console port is looking spectacular, we can only hope that EA manages to conjure up a control scheme good enough to perform the abundance of clicking and unit management, without throwing the Xbox 360 out the window in frustration. Early reports suggest they've succeeded admirably, but it's only when we get a chance to put hands on code, we'll be able to tell you for sure.

Still The Battle for Middle-Earth II marches on to Xbox 360 in June, so we shouldn't have too long to wait to find out.
