As promised, Electronic Arts has released a playable demo for The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II which includes a tutorial and two single-player maps: Withered Heath and Harlindon. You will play as either Dwarves or Goblins against computer AI (easy, medium, hard, and brutal settings). Mirror matches are also available (i.e. Goblins vs Goblins or Dwarves vs. Dwarves). Thanks: GameSpot.
