Publisher's description of Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring demo
The quest to destroy the One Ring continues in the first real-time strategy game based on The Lord of the Rings saga. Massive battles erupt as the forces of light and darkness battle for control of Middle-earth. Play as the forces of good and valiantly fight for The One Ring's destruction or play as the forces of evil to claim control over Middle-earth forever.
The demo consists of two single-player missions--"The Siege of the Iron Hills" and "Pursuit of Gollum"--in which players will side with forces of light as they attempt to destroy the One Ring.

Version: Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring demo
Pros: A passing resemblence to 'Lord of the Rings'.
Cons: What can I say? Just about everything in this product stinks. The graphics are terrible, Gollum looks like a mutated chimpanzee with a back problem and the other characters seem to come from Polygon Land instead of Middle Earth. Despite this the graphics play in slo mo on my PC and I have a 128MB graphics card on it. My advice don't download this and waste your time. If you still have the craving to rule Middle Earth (don't we all) I'd suggest trying 'The Battle for Middle Earth'. You'd better have a fantastic GPU though ;)

"Top Right mission is impossible. They don't give you upgrades that you need or other units."
Summary: Gimmie a break, go play a different game or at the very least a better demo should be sent out.

"Basically Warcraft 3...only more dull, and a bit confusing"
Summary: Personally, I prefer Warcraft to this one, but there will probably be some out there who'll like this. I'd probably buy the game when its released cos i'm a LOTR fanatic, but I hope its better than this demo.
