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.

Best game ever for me, but to play now I had to rip the CD and use a patch to rip the protection, this serie is unfortunately an abandonware. I hope GOG can find who own the game and buy the game to make it back and optimised for modern computer and remove this old DRM. We believe and you GOG
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 was pretty fun for what i remember it got remove from steam and i would love for this game to be available to buy on GOG because soo many old games like this one are getting lost to time and theres no places buy and own this game aside from pirating
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.

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.
