disappointing,simplistic and boring

User Rating: 6.5 | The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring PC
the war of the ring is one of the games that were published as a result of the great success of the LOTR movies however it seems to greatly let down the real strategy gamer.although in the beginning it seems to be a little bit challenging it turns out to be really boring.

lets's start.first of all the graphics of this game are disappointing and really don't seem to have followed the development of technology in this area.when i saw them they reminded me of older games with really simple graphics.the gameplay is simple that is good on the one side on the other side it doesn't attract the veteran of real strategy games.sound was remarkable and improved in a way the situation.the campaign mode was rather boring with long missions that were however really simple and you got bored very soon!let alone the custom mode that was poor(despite the existence of a variety of maps) and not challenging at all. however i must mention that it was one of the first games that gave the player the possibility to choose which side he wants:the good or the bad guys.

all in all war of the ring is a real strategy game that appeals to beginners who want to know the basics of such type of game without being disappointed of its difficulty.it has its value as a LOTR game and collectors of games related to LOTR should have it in their collection
