"Very fun LOTR-ish tank/robot action game!"

That's quite the mouthful. A very interesting genre you've created with Red Earth II! #;-}>
Due to my old CPU, I play in low quality and low detail mode, and while the lack of detail is a little plain and boring (mostly the grey walls, as the red ground isn't so bad... I kinda wish the walls were black or dark grey instead, more similar to their colour in high detail mode).
I played this a week or two ago, and had intended to just do that for a few minutes to check it out and move on. I made a shortcut to review it later with (as I'm doing now), and dove in... much to my surprise, instead of doing what I had planned, I ended up playing all the way through and beating the level all in the same sitting. The four different weapon modes, the steering/propulsion being keyboard-based while the aiming and firing is mouse-based... so many things about the gameplay appealed to me and kept me playing.
Also, of course, the unfolding of the game and the map and the enemies and the tasks to be accomplished pulled me in and kept me "turning pages," as it were. Your game engine is quite excellent, and it was a pleasure to complete the mission you assigned us in the game! Well done!
