The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Ring

"...War of the Ring should introduce a good many movie fans to the strategy genre -- and most likely, no greater percentage of Ring fans exists than amongst the gaming demographic -- but veteran real-time strategy players might want to look elsewhere if depth is what they’re seeking. No amount of hobbits, elves, dwarves, humans, orcs or goblins will be able to provide the kind of complexity they seek in War of the Ring."

"...RTS and Warcraft fans will find a good amount to like here in Middle Earth; it's the Tolkien fans who might be a little disappointed by the visit."

"War of the Ring is a competent, if lackluster, effort that will probably appeal to Middle-earth fans and casual gamers who haven't played a lot of real-time strategy before."

"...War of the Ring is shaping up to be a worthy contender in the RTS race. The ideas behind it are certainly interesting, especially to anyone who played the underrated Battle Realms."

"War of the Ring brings a killer license and few minor innovations, but they're not enough to raise War of the Ring out of the "been-there-done-that" category."
