LotR Videogames exist. For example, The Lord of the Rings Conquest, which sets the player as an individual soldier in various battles. You control that soldier in a manner to the Star Wars Battlefront games, if you're familiar with them. The battles/maps follow the events of the War of the Ring, but do not strictly adhere to canon. For instance, there are Elves at Helm's Deep. Or, more majorly, the second half of the campaign is set in an AU where Sauron had a detachment of orcs at the Cracks of Doom. They recover the Ring before setting out in a conquest across Middle Earth.
