Of course you want to know — When do I get it?

We strive at all times to get it to you sooner but here are some indications:

If we say In Stock, we dispatch same day (if ordered before 14:00 on a working day) and depending on where you stay it will be with you the next working day (Main Centres) or the next working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional).

If we say In Stock (You can also collect in cpt), the stock is available from our Cape Town warehouse and you can collect on the same working day if your payment has been authorised and you collect before 5pm.

If we say dispatched between X and Y days then it takes X to Y days to receive from a supplier and it will then be with you within a working day after dispatched (Main Centres) or the working day after that (Regional Areas). If you are in a remote area it may take an additional working day (a day longer than Regional Areas).

Imports are a best effort service, we strive to get it to you as soon as possible within the guidelines above but it's not always within our complete control so if something goes wrong we will let you know.

And then there's a Friday, sigh... Try order early on a Friday, we can then try our best to get it to you on the same day (Main centres), otherwise we will have to get it to you during the next week.

If this is all too confusing, call us on 0861 222 989 or send an e-mail to info@takealot.com. One of our friendly employees will get back to you pronto.

Description

The battle for Middle-earth is about to begin… Based on New Line Cinema's film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy, The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ is an epic real-time strategy (RTS) game that brings the battles of Middle-earth to life on a cinematic scale.

PC gamers are in complete control of the epic battles depicted in all three films of trilogy. From waging all-out combat among Middle-earth's vast armies to controlling your favorite heroes while managing the resources of your side, the fate of a living, breathing Middle-earth is in your hands.

Built upon the acclaimed Command & Conquer™ Generals 3D game engine, The Battle for Middle-earth allows you to command the forces of light or darkness in two separate campaigns. You'll have to choose your forces wisely, since each army has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Complete with the immersive musical score, actor voices, and other film assets seamlessly integrated into the game, The Battle for Middle-earth offers a truly memorable entertainment experience: the first RTS game that brings Middle-earth to life on a cinematic scale.

Features:

  • Command the heroes and armies of Middle-earth in over 25 missions based on all three films of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
  • Control one of four unique sides from the Riders of Rohan to the forces of Sauron, each with its own playing styles, resource management, and base-building techniques.
  • Tolkien's world comes alive in a persistent 3D real-time map featuring clouds, waves, day cycles with sunrises and sunsets, and trees blowing in the wind. Zoom in anywhere and anytime.
  • Be the architect of the battle for Middle-earth and orchestrate the memorable, epic battles from the movies, including the unforgettable siege of Minas Tirith, the battle of Helm's Deep, and the desperate last stand at the Black Gate.
  • Experience the most convincing RTS combat to date with straight-from-the-movie melee and range animations and unprecedented siege warfare.
  • Balanced gameplay with deep strategy mixed with pick up and play ease of use.
  • Online multiplayer battles.
  • Immersive musical score composed by Academy Award-winner Howard Shore.

Shuaib, . 29 March 2005

I've played many RTS games from Command and Conquer to Warhammer Dawn of War, But LOTR: BMFE...WOW! You are automatically drawn into the game. If you're a LOTR fan, you'll definitely love this game. Just another way of reliving the LOTR experience.

This game has certainly set a new standard for RTS games.

Alot of fun playing with trolls and other such creatures, the AI is a bit stuffy. Otherwise, not too bad, it passes the time.
