The game's battle rating system is based on how many hits the player can deal without taking damage. This fills the player's experience bar. Experience decreases whenever the player pauses from fighting. The ratings are as follows:
•Fair - rusty Uruk-hai helmet
•Good - bronze Uruk-hai helmet
•Excellent - silver Uruk-Hai helmet
•Perfect - gold Uruk-Hai helmet
At the end of a level the player gets a rating, which is based on the amount of times the player gets the four ratings. According to this rating the player gets an experience bonus. Fair: 1000, Good: 2000, Excellent: 3000 and Perfect: 5000. With this gained experience, certain upgrades can be bought, either for 'the fellowship', meaning all members get this upgrade, or for 'the character', meaning only the current character get it, some upgrades however are some characters only.
