DESCRIPTION

Pandemic Studios applies the same formula it used in the popular Star Wars: Battlefront series to another cherished mythology in The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, this time letting players take either side of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic tale of good vs. evil and then battle through familiar locations from Peter Jackson's film adaptations. There are four playable classes, allowing gamers to wield swords in melee combat as a Warrior, fire arrows at enemies as an Archer, use stealth and cunning as a Scout, or employ magic to attack or heal as a Mage. Players can also make use of familiar creatures such as oliphaunts and trolls, use horses and wargs as mounts, and periodically take control of series heroes or villains, including Gandalf, Saruman, Aragorn, Sauron, Legolas, and even a Balrog.

The single-player campaign puts gamers in the role of "good" characters as they fight through familiar conflicts from the films, including the Battle of Helm's Deep and the Battle of Minas Tirith. However, a new Evil Campaign puts players on the other side of the same conflicts, and in supposing that Frodo was unsuccessful in his quest to destroy The One Ring, LOTR: Conquest also lets gamers join Sauron's dark army as it continues its march of destruction across all of Middle-earth. Multiplayer options let up to 16 people battle online in five different game modes including "Conquest," "Capture the Ring," "Team Deathmatch," "Hero Deathmatch," and "Ring Bearer," in which one player serves as Frodo and all other competitors act as Nazgûl trying to kill him. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Though this game is kinda fun it flat out sucks big time with all the combat errors and general un-epic feel that is the complete opposite of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy”

“Heard that they were cutting the servers off for this game March 16th. I think if they sell a game with online play they should have to keep the servers up for much longer.”

“I feel this game is great, but could of been a whole lot better. Some of the battles are downright hard, and the controls are hard to get used to. It seems you can almost do better by just button mashing than actually trying to play the game. ...”
