The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring Reviews
The music and voice overs are amazing. It plays like Warcraft 3 but better IMO because it is Lord of the Rings. Highly Recommended It really never gets old to me in Skirmish Mode. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with this game.
I read the books 10-times through before I even heard about any movies (Which were disappointing to say the least). 1) Runs on the WC3 engine, plays just like WC3, if you liked WC3, chances are you'll like this. Though they've improved on everything, including graphics. If you're someone who thinks Legolas is the coolest guy ever, and have never read the books, or only read them after seeing Peter Jackson's movies, this game is not for you. ZING.
3) It's BASED on the BOOKS, not the Movies. If you want some bland, boring, EA-produced, New-line Cinema's taking more of your money and handing you crap game, there are two Battle for Middle Earths, and an expansion. So there's your choice in life, be a tool and play Halo with your fraternity, or be a hardcore geek. This game is for true LotR fans that enjoy the classical art-style, and the accuracy. Movie-goers shove-off. This game is for a certain type of person, and you either are or are not, as you can see from the reviews, people either love it or hate it. This game draws the ire of all of Legolas fanboys who thought Gandalf died in FotR and gets praise from the people who already knew.
There are plenty of other RTS that are tasteless and grey, and if you buy this expecting another Command and Conquer: Generals clone, you'll be sorely mistaken. Let's look at this from a logical standpoint:. 2) You need a fairly decent PC, if you're whining because your graphics are lame, maybe it's time to toss out your 486X and hit the new-age of 64-bit graphics. This game is for true RTS Fans and true LotR fans.
I am a big fan of Warcraft and this game is along the same lines. The game is licensed from the books, so the orcs and such are a little differant from the movie versions. All in all, this game had decent graphics, good AI, and had kept me entertained. If you want the movie version, go pick up Battle for Middle Earth. My copy was a bit buggy though, with visual glitches which took away from my enjoyment. This one was just okay for me.
as long as you ignore the fact that this is a LOTR game. As for BFME being better, I have to say this game was strong in certain areas and BFME was strong in certain areas, but if you were to choose between the two, pick BFME I dont see what everyone has against this game (except for the graphics, which raise the question: was Picasso on the design team). It is fun to just get a bunch of trolls and a hero and smash everyone.
dwraves.dwarves aren't fighinting for the free peoples. this game is not worth the pirce. no mumakil. the campagin is comepletly random battles jumping from third age 1000s to thirda ge 3000s, the population limit is tiny. the riders of rohan have flails. the troll stonehurlers are as a strong as a gondor swordsman.
