However, I’m telling you now this is exactly the right comparison to make. WotR looks and plays so much like Warcraft that people casually looking at my screen thought I was playing Warcraft. So now if we can just take this for granted, I can get on with my review without mentioning that other game.

The two sides in War of the Ring are the traditional ones of Good and Evil. The story covers the wars and events surrounding the struggle between Mordor and the rest of the world. Most of the campaigns are made-up scenarios not mentioned by Tolkien, but fit into the larger war well enough.
