Played this a lot as a kid, replayed its early missions over and over again. After many years I'd live to see the end of the Good campaign- and finally make some headway in the Evil one.
I remember finding this game in my local library (a place i use to go to a lot to rent comics and games when i was in my teens) I really liked this lord of the rings game and it felt very different compared to the other LOTR game. In my 20ties i bought the game on amazon from a random person and i still own my copy today with many other old school games bought the same way (I'm 35 now) Would be great to get this game on GoG as it seems to be forgotten by time and many ppl don't know it even exist as people focus more on the other LOTR RTS game.
Playing this game is a joy for me. I lose myself while playing the game. Only those who have experienced it know this pleasure, it is indescribable. Playing a game of a movie you watch with pleasure and feeling like a member of that world is an undeniable pleasure.
Bardzo chciałem mieć grę na GoG, A mam oryginalnie płyty bez klucz tylko dla starszy system, a najnowszy system Win 10 i 11 nadał niedostępny. Bardzo chciałbyś mieć tutaj i było chcę szczęśliwe mieć grę. Po prostu jestem mocne fan The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring ogólnie serduszek ♥.
I grew up playing many, many RTS games, but this one always stood out to me. It was a very unique take on Middle Earth, and no other games have even come close to this one's vision. For this reason alone I think it deserves to be preserved in the GOG library, but it was also incredibly fun, with a wonderful score and captivating performances within both the Good and Evil campaigns!
Best game ever, If they add it, let's hope it's with a more modern and stable online experience. Before, it worked with Gamespy. Let's hope it now has the company's own servers, since the online experience is very fun.
This game is very dear to me.
I've played this piece of nostalgy as a kid I'll buy it on the spot.
Please give me a chance to go back there maybe even with a working multiplayer that would be something!
Playing this game every now and then since 2005. It is my nostalgia and recently restarted playing and working on it by modding some stuff for my taste. I just couldn't find the same taste in anything else like I did in "War of the Ring". It is my absolute dream to see it in here. I would play the hell out of it for sure. I'd love to keep modding even more passionately. Seeing some other fans around the world who love this game just gives me joy. Reminds me that we can indeed share the same past, nostalgia, memories and fun. Thank you.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker SagaLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a third-person action-adventure with an open world hub. Unlike previous Lego games in which players had to advance through the story in a linear order, players can now choose to start the game from any of the main Skywalker Saga episodes and complete them in any order they wish. Each episode has their own hub filled with planets featured prominently in each respective film that can be visited and explored. Each episode will have five story missions each, a total of 45 levels.
Combat has also been revamped, such as lightsaber fights now involving a variety of combos with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, and blaster characters having an over-the-shoulder camera angle featured in many third-person shooter games.
Random encounters will also happen in the game's hub. For example, an Imperial Star Destroyer will suddenly jump out of hyperspace and send a fleet of TIE Fighters after the player. Players can choose to engage in dogfights with them or continue onward to progress the story. The game will have more than 200 playable characters, though TT Games has said that number will change.Action Comedy Science fiction

Dynasty Warriors: StrikeforceKoei brings us again a new addition to the Dynasty Warriors series. This installment still features the same storyline based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with the various officers as playable characters. The character list and appearance is the same as in Dynasty Warriors 6, meaning some of the previous game's characters are not available.
The difference in this one is that the player is allowed to choose only one character for the chosen force (either Wei, Wu or Shu) who starts in a village that will act as the hub, or camp, from which the game battles are accessed. By completing story missions, some characters are added and can be played as without starting a new game, meaning all acquired weapons, items and materials will be kept.
The chosen character can be customized in various ways. Apart from the main weapon, one sub weapon, chosen from many weapon types, can be equipped. Both weapons can be switched anytime during battle, to accommodate the situation. A new addition is the Chi system which allows to set special abilities to the character, there are four slots to equip Chi (the two arms and legs). Weapons can also be customized by adding Orbs that give different abilities, such as elemental properties.
In the village, the player can exchange materials, buy weaponry, items for use in battle, Chi skills and Orbs. Some NPC's may appear in the village, some giving materials or items, or Officer cards, which can be set to help the Village's growth. Over time, better items can be acquired from the shops.
By talking to the quest board or the Guard at the village's gate, main Missions or Requests can be chosen. Each battle is a series of small maps where various enemy soldiers and weaponry are fought, eventually leading to the commander of the enemy army. The goal of each battle can vary, some are classic goals like "Defeat the Commander" and some, less battle oriented, like "Retrieve all treasure boxes". In addition, there also are bonus missions that require the player to defeat a particular unit, reaching a certain point before a certain time, etc. Each bonus mission gives extra experience points upon completion.
Other new additions to the battle system are the possibility to have aerial battles, and the main feature of the game: the Fury Mode, unleashed when the Fury gauge (replacing the traditional Musou gauge) is full. The furied character has better stats and move sets, and can unleash the infamous Musou attack to deal some extra damage.
To add to the surreal look of the game, some new bosses are actually massive beast-like weapons, and usually require the help of other players to defeat them. Multiplayer mode is available only via AdHoc connection, and can connect up to four players.Action Fantasy Historical

Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.Science fiction

Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
