I've had this game for several years and it's great. The artwork and figurines are all really good, and the gameplay is far better than most games in this genre.
The base game takes forever to play, but if you want to go for something shorter, I highly recommend the expansion. It includes a smaller two sided board, where you can play the battle for Rohan and the battle for Minas Tirith. I haven't played the battle for Minas Tirith, but the battle for Rohan was great. There are new factions for Isengard to use, and more characters (Theoden, Eowyn, Eomer) for Rohan. The ents also play a more prominent role than in the base game. Overall, a very enjoyable game.
