War Of The Rinng

For those people who rate this game bad based on the demo, then they say its a waste of money should shut up. When the demo starts it clearly says that it's a PRE-BETA version of the game and there are unfinished things in the game. On my computer the ground is completly grey, I don't know if this is because it's a beta version or if my computer just isen't good enough also. I can't really tell you how this game is because I havent played it in a while, on my computer its laggy also, but again, I don't know if its because its a beta version or because of my computer. I hope I helped you with this sort-of review.

Waste of Money and a Test on my Patience.

Pure garbage. Your $50 would be better spent on a Knights of the Old Republic or any other software where the developers actually removed the bugs before shipping. This game is full of bugs and crashes frequently. My computer is a P4 2.6 Ghrtz with a top-of-the-line NVIDIA (128mb) video card, so I know the crashes weren't the result of my system. If you decide to play, be sure to save every 3 minutes and be prepared to replay your game over and over again. There is an update available, but it didn't seem to matter... the crashes were all the more frequent after the update, especially in Fangorn Forest.

You have to understand...

Let's look at this from a logical standpoint:
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.
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.
3) It's BASED on the BOOKS, not the Movies. 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. This game is for true LotR fans that enjoy the classical art-style, and the accuracy. 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.

This game is for true RTS Fans and true LotR fans. Movie-goers shove-off.
I read the books 10-times through before I even heard about any movies (Which were disappointing to say the least.)

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.

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.

So there's your choice in life, be a tool and play Halo with your fraternity, or be a hardcore geek.
ZING!

Well, for all of you cube-fanatics, this is a must get. The graphics are HORRIBLE!!! Oh-no, the rohan rider's head is square!!! He has been deformed at birth!!! Wait, what was that? Oh, my mistake, his head is square on purpose (don't ask me why). Nothing in this game is round at all. Blizzard-nerds were too busy drawing the cover to actually make good graphics. Poor little Bilizzard entertainment was too poor to come up with money to get a permit to use New Line Cinema's character photos. So instead they come up with all of these square representations instead.

BIG LETDOWN

This game is not even close to what it could have and should have been. If you check out the reviews in any of the major gaming magazines they will tell you the same. Unfortuneately, I purchased the game before I read any of those reviews. The game runs on a two year old battle realms engine that is badly outdated, thus, the gameplay and overall experience does not even compare to that of Warcraft 3, or command and conquer games. The charchters are severely lacking in detail and this game is overall a big letdown, buy warcraft 3 instead!!!

Not bad

In terms of gameplay, this game is very similar to Warcraft3.

haha ok a game with the install directory "War of the Ring(tm)" can't be very good. :P
God.
Are you serious.
Yeah. :P
The directory is property of the Tolkein estate, apparently.

Very Disappointing

An unoriginal effort to quickly package the LOTR into a lame RTS engine. I am a big fan of Tolkien and a big fan of strategy games, and this satisfies my hopes in neither of those categories.

GREAT TOLKIEN TITLE!
