Prime Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Just wondering if it is worth playing. I don't really play RTS games much. The last one I have is Starcraft. Is it a good game for a casual RTS player? Thanks for any insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 It doesnt really remind me of LOTR. Its not an exciting game ive played the demo. It Sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie™ Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 my little brother got it for X-Mas, and it's allright... If you really want something for your money, get Warcraft III instead. I think the creators of C&C are gonna come out with another LoTR RTS next year... I hope it will be more original... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who like it, but reviews say it isn't that good. Wait for BfME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hm, Blargh. It looks awful in my eyes, I don't like the graphics, or the scaling (on the back of the box, it has a catapult the size of a warehouse, and, I just don't like it.

legameboy Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I played the demo of it... it really sucked. Go for Warcraft 3 and the expansion back in the 50 dollar battle chest. Personally, I'm looking forward to Rome: Total War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Though I've never played it, I've seen lukewarm reviews about it. One thing I read that didn't seem right to me is that orcs and men are evenly matched and both are produced at the same rate. Anyone who's seen any of the LotR movies or read the books knows that men tend to fare better in battle than orcs on a one-to-one ratio. It's only with their sheer weight of numbers that orcs win. It would have been better if the player could create orcs faster than men, but make them weaker than men. I also heard that the graphics weren't what people expected it to be, kind of a Warcraft III style more than a LotR style. In closing, I would say War of the Ring is probably just a Warcraft III clone. The gameplay sounds like it could've been so much more, but it falls short in the end.

Samuel Dravis Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 RTW is going to own any other RTS. Just make a Middle Earth mod for it if you want a LotR RTS (and it is going to be moddable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Of course; Shogun and MTW are both very easy to mod; I've heard that RTW is not going to be an exception. Just watching the movies (of RTW) and you'll see how awesome a LotR mod would be. You could do perfect recreations of the Pelennor Fields and Helm's Deep battles.
