This game had so much promise, but they let took it completely to the other end of the spectrum, instead of the micromanaging wich could get time consuming on LOTR2. LOTR3 swings the other way so completely you cannot even decide what type of Army you want.
Types of troops you raise are completely dependant on the lords you install in your land parcels. Not bad If I had an inexhaustible supply of each type to decide what I wanted. Nope, you have what the game gives you and thats it. Worse you couldn't micromanage things even if you wanted to. Then they fubared the combat, whatever you do don't attack a castle, the enemy's troops will hide out on the walkway behind the walls while your troops will mill around in the bottom of the courtyard getting shot full of arrows.
If you like simplistic games this would be the one for you. The only effective gameplay decisions you will ever make are which lord do I install, where should my next army come from and who do I invade next?

OK!!! Here we go i loved lotr2 great game and like everyone else has stated, this is nothing like lotr2. This triology should never have existed. They should have stopped at 2. I really am not going to get into the game and its details very much because it has been talked about over and over again by others. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! That is all i have to say. I paid $8 on amazon for this and I would have rather thrown that $8 in the fire.

This game looks like it was made by high school kids, it bares little resemblance to it's glorious predicessors. This "game" involves little more than staring at the computer screen wondering what is going on and what your supposed to do. You quickly learn that very little is going on and there is nothing for you to do. That's the worst part, the manual tells you virtually nothing, the game teaches you even less and then it plays on it's own at snails pace.
Just avoid this like the plague.
Rating: - nothing like lords 2 do not buy
they completely changed the intereface and the whole game in general. One of the worst sequels ever

Realm 3 is an average game at best. Although ther is more interactive options and a much better 3D engine to this game, I have apparently become bored with it quickly, after finishing the tutorial and beginning play, it is already sitting in it's jewel case collecting dust with the rest of my "average" games. I've found myself playing Realm 2 more than this game.
The setup is there, and the competetive spirit is there, but there is little challenge except in combat. I prefer a game more based on Realm 2, where you have to battle not only human-to-human elements but elements more inclined with proper farming, mining, and such. The simplified task of assigning Nights or Peasants as one singular town gives no strategy outside the realm of battle. Strategy should be included in all aspects across the board, not just in combat.
Something tells me with this mediocre follow-up, we won't be seeing Lords 4 anytime soon, if at all.
