first,but not the last
Though it capitalizes on the momentum generated by the recent films, War of the Ring uses the original books as source material and extends the conflicts beyond the core story of the Fellowship. Displaying the same level of personality and animation found in Liquid's previous game, Battle Realms, the world of Middle Earth comes to life with vast grassy plains, gathering storm clouds and the blight of Sauron passing over the land. Players are able to take both sides of this conflict as they extend Sauron's reach over the lands of Middle Earth or try to battle his minions back to the gates of Mordor. Fielding units from hobbits to Balrogs, you'll have the chance to refight some of the classic battles from the series including Helm's Deep, Edoras, Cirith Ungol and Dol Guldur.
