The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest (PS3)

This is a strange game from pandemic, whilst being mildly fun and quite addictive it really is a poor game. Stuck in two worlds about where to go with this review! Firstly the game, its the newest lord of the rings game out and it follows many of the major battles throughout all of the books. Taking the same sort of gameplay style as the star wars games it is all out attack! You can choose to be a scout; a smaller character that can turn invisible and backstab or stand and fight with two daggers, an archer; quite explanatory, a mage; magical sort of like gandalf or my favourite, the good old swordsman fighting foot to food wielding a huge sword!

Lord of the Rings games have always been a little bit hit and miss, but one thing that they tend to have in common is that they concentrate on the action sequences that the movie did so well, and Lord of the Rings Conquest is no exception to this trend.
