The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring
The Lord of The Rings War of The Ring is the first real time strategy game (RTS) based on the trilogy The Lord of The Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. The story of the game includes the whole story of the novel but very adapted. The graphics details are very good: while a soldier fights his sword stains with blood, also the buildings can be rotated in any direction when builded and the trained units come out of the building by the door. The game has two campaigns, Good campaign and Evil campaign, the two "civilizations". It supports multiplayer mode by lan. Includes a tutorial.
The War of the Ring itself takes place during the conflict while Frodo and Sam were on their quest to destroy the One Ring by throwing it into the fire of Mount Doom. But unlike the approach of the recent action games released by EA, the focus is not on this quest, or necessarily the several heroes that made up the Fellowship. Instead, Liquid and Vivendi shifted their view to the battles fought to keep the forces of Sauron out of the lands of men, Elves, and Dwarves including conflict that occured before the actual War of the Ring. Many of the battles that are fought in this game aren't actually found in the Lord of the Rings trilogy or history as far as I could find (admittedly I haven't read the many volumes of the History of Middle-Earth). Instead the game offers a bit of an interpreted nature of the events before and during the year and a half that the War lasted.
War of the Ring is definitely presented and made for the average strategy gamers and those that may not have been drawn to the genre in the past. And to this end, it does a good job. You'll find all of the normal features that you would expect in a typical RTS. You'll have to construct buildings on a map that serve several purposes such as training units and upgrading their abilities. All the while you'll have to mine ore from deposits, found conveniently in mounds in green pastures (lame) and harvest food using wells, which were conveniently located near the ore deposits. Then you'll need to build up an army and loose it upon the enemy while making sure that your "town" is defended as well. Mission objectives differ depending on the level, most of which have been done before.
