The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Video Review by GameSpot

[Whocares792]

There is one problem the voice overs are horable

[Ike7175]

And Im guessing Im one of the few gamers who dont mind frustration....if that even makes sense....

[Ike7175]

FINALLY!! a REAL review for this game, sure its not the greatest LOTRs game ever, but its just so much fun, and seriously who cares about button mashing, its done in nearly every single game (abit of exageration of course) I love this game!

[metalcorefowlkes]

i love killing pesky little hobbits

[souleater771]

i used to love this game but stupid EA shut down the online. I HATE YOU EA

[thekingofirony]

@souleater771 they also removed the dlc from PSN.

[souleater771]

@thekingofirony another example of the evil of EA

[Triplehpedigreerocks]

this game is awesome who thinks they should make part to of this and battlefronts 3?

[iCoooookies96]

IF these names send shivers down your spine, you have aids.

[primarch4]

the only things i don't like about this game is the voice acting isn't good characters are overpowered and the scouts back stab is good for bosses and when u using it but on multiplay it quit anoying apart from this the game is great.

[primarch4]

what is the last evil mission?

[lukecrtr]

'Free creature of middle earth'

Free people's mate...

[ageless1003]

m currently playing this game.

and it is Super Cool and Super Challenging.

[zhocpiar]

i want this game

[heypeeps154]

i beat the first campaign in around three hours and it really wasnt that difficult. i died a couple times but it wasnt frustratingly hard like they say it is

[zhocpiar]

but a hard game is a good game

[SinfullTailBone]

this games badass whoever says it isnt is dumb, i got it for 17 dollers and it was a rly good game to get for that cheep

[CrimsonStarProducion]

for 20 or below its a great game to get but when you spend 60 bucks you expect alot more!

[aaron9099]

@CrimsonStarProducion I can get it for 18 on Amazon....its officially a great game lol

[dpaul888]

the reviewer is good the way he reviewed it.

[WorldWideWerner]

Mages in LotR? What version of the book did the creators read?

[mehdy8]

the developers could have done so much better

[tominator0x0]

it does look really fun, is this for both platforms?

[primarch4]

@tominator0x0 it is for pc xbox 360 ps3 and ds (though the ds version doesn't look very good).

[hayabusa2007spartan]

Everyone says you die lots in this game but i only died once and im on the 3rd level i just got it yesterday and the 1 death i got is when my friend who has never played before tryed a level so it wasnt even me that died lol but ya i think its kinda easy not todie

[jkdoorbinnia]

This game would have been great on the Last Gen Consoles but here on the Next Gen consoles its a bit dissapointing, but don't worry you'll forget about all of its technical problems with the multiplayer. Its worth a rent but theres no reason not to buy a game with awesome multiplayer.

[furiouscanadianjedi]

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE MULTIPLAYER, CRAWLING WITH CAMPERS AND MAGE WHORES (also if you dont understand the problem with mages please message me so we can talk privatly so i dont fill the page with complaints

[TeamKitoStaff]

DUDE I KNOW AE!!!!

What was going through the creators mind when they made mages!!!

[xxageofconanfanxx]

only thing i have problem with in this game- EXTREMELY LAGGY. sword hit detection sucks, mages and archers are overpowered, archer arrow dellay. the list goes on.

[NerdySabbath]

Do alot of people still play this online?

[GameMan53]

yes on the demo version i cant get a game i'm buy this today

[cphelper562]

why do peapole think this game sucks if you think this game sucks look at the two towers copared to that conquest is the best game ever.

[HappyMECH99]

this game sucks. it uses the frustrating command post caputuring featured in Battlefront, except its harder to do and the controls SUCK.

[incuboy021]

the reviewer is like reading a poetry or something.

[ledzep245]

they beter be making a battlefront 3

[FlamingHotKittens]

they are, gameinformer magazine has some screenshots.

[ledzep245]

yea i saw those actually i heard it might be delayed by a long time tho...do u know anything else about that?

[FlamingHotKittens]

At first there was word of it being canceled but then it was re-announced and delayed. I havn't heard anything else after that. I bet it's still in work/

[TheOneAndOnlyGamerB]

seriously if it looked great on last-gen imagin now this game is going to be fuckin awsome

[666Muurder1]

This game looks awesome and i was actually excited about playing this game but then when it comes it doesnt even fucking work , me=disappointed.

[Winger4u]

All glory but this independend reviewer says its not even worth a rent:

v=Q9Eud3cPCJU

[xarcherx987]

Wow this review is a wanker.

[2ndNerevarine]

This game follows the movies more than the books. That's pretty lame because it seems the developers didn't even know anything about Tolkien's lore.

And the melee combat system is HORRIBLE. Especially in Multiplayer.

[Zhomitz9229]

wow a descent review for a good game havent seen that in a while

[Carthage20]

i wanted this game back before i even new it was gn be made. ever since i played sw battlefront i wanted lotr like it. i cant wait to get this next week

[falloutproduction]

Finally someone who pronounces Aragorn's name right!!!

[Sharkbait132]

Tell me if i'm wrong.

[Rogues024]

Nope, you got it in the bag!

[Sharkbait132]

Yeah my friend has spent over 1000 dollars buying a new computer and software so the game will work and frankly I think its insane! But he needed a new computer anyways. Still he brags about how he has Conquest (still hasnt gotten it to work) I always say that it looks really cool but it probably isnt very cool like he says. Doesn't really look like much of a challenge. I have CoD WaW and soon CoD4 soo...I have something to brag about to (I try not to though)

[Vaenra333]

And we care about this how? Kid, we dont give a shit about your life.

[rtwfreakske123]

Hahahaha, dude, you'r so funny ^^

[OptimusTrooper]

yeah insulting random people you've never met, its very original

[Sharkbait132]

I haven't actually played this game yet but heres my review from what I see. Looks like the multiplayer will be made up of mostly scouts and gets really frustrating, campaign levels could be longer and more in depth for the huge events they simulate, could use more classes, heroes are basically the same as the other classes but more powerful (not including balrog, ents, trolls, etc.) campaign will be fun the first few times but then gets really boring, and you're basically busy for about a month

[Jallentime]

Spot on

[Jallentime]

The multiplayer is a load of crap. Backstabs EVERYWERE.

[breeno12301]

This is the first review I've seen of this game where they don't say "Star Wars Battlefront" even once. lol

[wepper5]

How does i fight as Sauron in Instant battle? is it any way please tell me :),

And can you change to more players in instant battle?

[CarbineDragons]

you got to be handpicked by the game to be a hero. You have to be evil as well.

[okman360]

its not 6.5 its 8 stupid

[danzman69]

archers?

[vdmhzl]

Mass Killing! Yay!

[EmperorLjas]

It's not that simple. It's like a mix between the battlefront games and the classic ROTK videogame.

[EmperorLjas]

From what I've experienced from the demo and the pirated pc version in my awesome laptop that shouldn't even be able to start the game (It's horrible, and I got a legal 360 version in my mailbox soon), the description of the video sums it up well. If you take off the "a few".

[emylienicolle]

no dude its AWESOME!!!!! but not like playing a jedi it has its own control scheme and stuff so please please please go buy this game if you aren't insane

[wiseguy1989xx]

can someone tell me why this is a 6.5 out of 10 coz i want to buy this, should i?

[giglyboyo]

its only 6.5 because it is lacking a little bit and textures look dull. but it is a lot like bf1+2 and i think its cool :]

[RavageGT]

When I played the demo two things bugged me in particular

1. Mage is ridiculous in multiplayer (high damage AoE fireball, shield that can block all projectiles, heals, and AoE knockback.

2. The scout can 1 hit "heroes" like Gandalf, Gimle, and any thing that's basically human sized.

Other than that, the demo was really fun

[omfgARISTO]

if a mage is bugging you...why not charge and knock him down with warrior? or ambush him with scout? if scout is bothering you, why not be a mage and keep AoE fire damage on ground? or be a warrior and swing your sword around?

[NKOWlifelight]

so do you play as 1 character type for the whole campaign or can you choose your characters before every level?

[paco1984]

you can choose every time you die or by going up to flag.

[NKOWlifelight]

so this is kinda like star wars battlfront 2.

[ItsJustRippin]

yep

[vdmhzl]

Well, that's the whole point, isn't it? XD

[vdmhzl]

Like I said earlier, that's the whole point of the game! XD

[cofd3]

andrewtheone7

no they are the same cept xbox has 4 player co op online and the others dont

[NERDZKANDY]

good review, by a lotr fan like me.

[andrewtheone7]

is it bette ron ps3 or 360 i hear ps3 owns it in graphics and gameplay am i correct?

[Zhaoyun241]

should've been a longer game... much longer

[azn3000]

lol he says ''Free Creatures'' lmao its the Free Peoples.

[luckdriver]

i have a question if you are a scout on any side can you kill a hero instanly

[Dmaster484]

yes, all backstabs on non troll ent enemies are kills

[card111111]

yes

[tantan628]

Yes, if you're a scout, you can kill anything that's not massive, i.e troll, ent, balrog, instantly.

[ChazShinRa]

Bming rules

[BreakinGuitarz33]

the scout is an incredibly annoying character.

[rashnudread]

if these names send shivers down your spine your a nerd

[ErwinMaster]

How loving a movie make you a nerd? I always tought Nerd Equals computers? and well I guess we are all Nerds even taking the effort writing comments BEAT THAT!

-Loser

[audiguy87]

omfg would u please shut the fuck up! stop using stupid fucking fake words like tought instead of thought and not using full sentences you are seriously a dumbass loser. I can already tell u are a nerd who had no hygene or girl skills aka u a scum bag. So beat that loser ahah wow u are fucking lame.

[jjaragornfan]

conquest rockz!!!!!

[rkslayer589]

True that

[arrowinmeeye]

indeed

[WestCoast408]

Wow. First decent reviewer I've heard for a while.

[jjumaa]

despite it's not one of the best games out, as a lotr fan i can say this game is extremely fun to play (and much more fun if you play online)

[g00dname]

does anyone else have the issue that every enemy mage ai only does that block spell and nothing else?

[WestCoast408]

They sometimes do the lighting. Once every now and again. But for the most part, all they do is block the arrows for the infantry.

[bulletproofben14]

is this game split screen?

[LineSpider]

Yes

[aboudiabsi]

yeh i think if ur playin on one screen...

[WestCoast408]

Yea, it's two-player split-screen on PS3. I think it's four on the 360.

[ErwinMaster]

lol I got a tiny screen 4 players.. oh my... Mesa gonna try i!

[paco1984]

hey hey!! no jar jar binkmpresions allowed here!

[GamerTron0]

Dude, real footage has already been shown for star wars battlefront 3, it will come out late 2009 or early 2010.

[IronMaidenfan6]

do u mean renegade sqaudren, cause its been out on the PSP for a long time

[jimdude99]

where did you hear this?

[switchfootfanboy]

I like this reviewer.

[deadlyshott]

lol agreed. he is funny

[powrboy77]

ive seen a video of SW battlefront 3 at some convention thing

[GamerTron0]

It looks cool maybe i'll get it when the price is below $60, but when star wars battlefront 3 comes out no one is gonna remember this game, and SWBF3 comes this winter or fall.

[CoolKidX85]

I give it a 7.

But ti will never be like Star Wars battlefron 2, maybe Lord of the rings conquest 2 though ..i hope!

[LaxPro93]

I like this guy, he's genuine and funny

the only thing is he didn't tell anything bad about the game

[BryanTheLi0n]

Actually he pointed out the only real negative aspects of the game. Everything he said is the entire game, in a nut shell.

[TBRaysTORaptors]

I like this guys review, especially what he said at the end. Lord of the Rings Conquest is good fun. The presentation is not amazing and you will find yourself restarting battles, but it is good fun.

[oSAIGONo]

i just cant get into it

[Itchycosmo]

then if were are fanboys then you the tipical gamehater...lol....it works both ways...nothins worse then a hater...

but besides all that the game is pretty fun for a Lord of the rings game. its action pact and as you would say epic. lol you cryin because the game is 2 hard....hmmm maybe you suck...i prefer a game thats hard and kicks my ass....means i need 2 play more and will last longer. its called a challenge. i recomend tryin it out. hav losts of fun multi player

[Hypnodisc1989]

Just for the record, i don't suck. ;) I beat it now, like in the last second. there was just that one damn hard level. And i wouldn't call people like you a fanboy, because you got atleast some examples why you like the game. some other people just say: "The game is great, fuck you" and that's not a proper reason to argue with them. after these 2 days i can say: It's......OK! not good, not bad, just Ok. but there could have been some more, like a few more maps or more game-modi. i hope for some

[Hypnodisc1989]

patches to increase the gameplay a bit. but for now, it's ok, for some time to slaughter people,k but it still remains a button smasher some of the time. and remember: it's my own opinion so can't say that i'm totally wrong. because everyone can say there opinion, without getting insulted, for doing so ;)

[ExpLoSiveFlyiNgMooS]

awesome game....

[treckter6]

WTF 6.5 id give the game 8.0 at least but i dont listen to gamespot anymore since they didnt nominate gears 2 for game of the year but nominate left 4 dead? They gave left 4 dead a lower score!!!!!!!!! Piece of shit gamespot is the worst review sight other than gt i mean GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!6.5

[airgilbert]

LOL, someone's sad, the game sucks, deal with it.

[treckter6]

the game is the oposite of suck its at least good but the game doesent suck deal with it

[MrAnders0n2]

Learn what an opinion is, you whiny sack of shit.

[treckter6]

ur telling me what an opinion is ur the one who replied to my comment saying it sucks so ur just a hypocrite

[MrAnders0n2]

Learn to respect other people's opinion, and stop arguing. You're getting nowhere unless you love the attention.

[treckter6]

how about YOU learn to respect other peoples opinions your the one who started this hole thing

[MrAnders0n2]

Keep going, man. The humor never ends with your stupidity.

[Wade2193]

You either love it or hate it.

[treckter6]

but im surprised all the reviewers hate it i mean 6.5 seriously i ate my dog in anger watching this review

[agr8sk8er]

Thsi is my new favorite game. Everything about it is Epic, from the campaigns to the online experience that this game delivers. I would reccomend this game to EVERYONE!!!:)

[DaRkSlAyEr1458]

Really? Im playing it right now and I think its a piece of shit...

[Hypnodisc1989]

@ DarkSlayer: Same here: I can't believe what EA thought about this...It sounded great, but there are so much flaws: Campaigns are too fucking hard! i almost broke my controler. and: the maps are a bit too tiny. but (i got the pc version): to play online you gotta sign up to EA nation, which is always bitching on my pc and if it works, there are only noobs on the map and there`s no teamwork at all. sry, EA, but you wanted to copy Star Wars Battlefront, which didn't succeed. very disappointing

[DaRkSlAyEr1458]

I know....they should have just made a Star Wars Battlefront 3. And also, your right, its EA! EA has been known to suck with the shitty ass servers for alot of games, especially Battlefield Bad Company which was one of my favorite games to play, probably one of the best shooters I have ever played in my life.

[airgilbert]

Free Radical were making a battlefront 3 but they folded :( there's some BETA footage on the internet.

[Hypnodisc1989]

yep, i saw that and was really excited about that, but it was cut, which was a pain in the ass. and: EA didn't publish Star Wars Battlefront. It was made by Pandemic and published my LucasArts, who have the Star Wars License. EA couldn't publish it, because they don't have the license.

[airgilbert]

Hey moron, EA published Battlefront.

[jakeebra]

How are the campaigns hard? They were fairly easy on heroic and fun :).

The maps Arnt to bad for 8v8 combat, it's not like its 16v16.

Not every game is perfect, a lot have there problems but IMO..this is the best LOTR game out atm.

Again just MY OPINION :)

[treckter6]

MAYBE YOUR A PIECE OF SHIT WITH NO TASTE

[Hypnodisc1989]

And people like you, who are just damn fanboys for a game piss me of the most. I mean: You're insulting other people if they don't loike a game and they say, why they hate it, too. You know: I was a big LODR fan and i played almost every LODR game out there, but THIS is just wrong and disappoints 6the whole series and it seems like it was just a game to get money out of the LODR franchise. And for EA: they destroy every game license after a while. look at the sport games. it's just wrong

[LaxPro93]

LODR? Lord of da' rings?

it's LOTR

lord of the rings

[airgilbert]

Most people also think that, but don't say it as the fanboys will cry.

[MrAnders0n2]

This game could not be any more mediocre.
