“One Ring To Rule Them All“

Pandemic Studios the development studio behind Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2 (and possibly 3) is back to the Battlefront type of game with Lord Of The Rings: Conquest for the PS3 and 360. Conquest is basically like Battlefront 2 in that you can play two campaigns, one is a light campaign and the other is a dark. With the light side going through the three movies and the dark side goes through an alternate storyline of if Frodo never destroyed the ring.

“Almost Exactly Like Battlefront II”

The only difference between this game and the two Battlefront games is that it’s Lord Of The Rings. But that’s not such a bad thing since Battlefront I and II are great games. One of the best things about this game are the two campaign’s mostly due to the fantastic VO from Hugo Weaving, also as in BF 2 there are cutscenes from the films in between missions. In addition to that there are hero’s you can play as if you get a certain amount of kills or are the MVP of the game, there is the Instant Action mode in which you can play any game type on any map.

“Repetivo”

One of the flaws of this game is that it gets repetitive pretty quickly so this is not a game that should be played for a long period of time.

Closing Comments

Lord Of The Rings Conquest is a fun game that is repetive and sometimes frustrating that could’ve been better than it’s Battlefront counterparts. The only people who should get this game are fans of the Franchise. I give this game a 7.5 out of 10
