I really enjoyed playing the early versions of this game when it was more about resource management to build armies to do battle against the Orcs (or Humans). When it became an MMO, I lost interest, but that has not stopped me from keeping tabs in how a game has to change with the times. The basic premise of Humans going up against Orcs is intact. With a trailer suggesting that one of the piggish brutes sees that a truce must be forged to prevent total annihilation of a world, perhaps there’s a plot to enjoy. Although this film will be mired with heavy CGI all over and it wants to shame Lord of the Rings, I just don’t think it’s going to be that terribly exciting.

This product looks like it’s meant to give fans of the game something meaty to chew on. Already, I can see a lot of people wanting to spit it out should it not be faithful to the material.
