[edit] Synopsis

Unlike the later The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth by Electronic Arts, War of the Ring is based solely on the books, not the films by Peter Jackson. Thus, characters like Legolas and Aragorn look and sound different from their counterparts as depicted in the films and the game. The game is officially licensed by Tolkien Enterprises.

The game was specifically designed for Microsoft Windows XP, which leads to some problems for those playing the game on Windows Vista. The main problem is the save game function, which relied on specific XP code and is incompatible with Vista. As of yet, Vivendi and Liquid Entertainment have not released, nor plan to release, a patch for this problem.
