Well, as far was W3, I would say that the battles are much more epic, the graphics are much more gritty (the 3d aspect is much better) and the hero advancement is actually not done as well as W3. I really enjoyed leveling my heroes in W3, seems like in Middle Earth it just kinda happens. Plus, when you've got the entire fellowship, its hard to really get attached to one char.
I liked Warhammer, but, I didn't really like how "into the weeds" you could get with every single unit. Plus, it always seemed like if I just built enough of one thing, I could wipe the whole map. Seemed a little too easy for my taste.
I would recommend this game without reservation. The more I play the more I am really impressed with the polished look its giving me.
