After 3 hours of downloading I finally got this chunk of my hardrive filled with Lord of the rings conquest. People have wondered, is this an MMO like world of warcraft? Is this an RTS game?
Well neither. . .
If you have played Star Wars Battlefronts 1 and 2 then this game plays just like that seeing as it's Pandemic who made it again.
In the demo you can play the single player training mission aswell and go head to head in a 16 player online battle with 8 villians and hero classes. The multiplayer part I havn't tried yet but you need to sign in to an email account to play it, so onto the training mission
The game basically pits you right into the shit with no cutscenes or anything your just told to become a dopey knight and run around following the combos on screen such as X X X Y Y B or somin like that. But this is more than the bogstandard Dynasty warriors as it opens up the attack moves with the Left Bumper giving you a flaming sword that makes you rollerblade on your knees and fight like a drunken master.
It's hard to concentrate because of the narrating loudmouth medieval guy yelling stupidly funny shit at you. It is honestly hard to keep a straight face when you kill an orc and you hear bellows like "YES YOU ARE A GREAT KNIGHT!!" and "YES A POWERFUL MOVE SIR KNIGHT!!"
you get the picture. . .
Then comes the point where you play as an archer and it surprisingly works well, you have special moves such as "THE FIRE ATTACK BLOWS AWAY YOUR FOES" but works like a normal arrow shot, the poisonous cloud you shoot and the multishot which hits in random directions picking its own targets wondering how the hell you pull it off, but if you miss and get stabbed in the face the kind bellowy man yells out "YOUR ARROWS WILL DO THE KING PROUD!!"
After this you play as probably the stupidest class in the game probably because the narrator over exadurates every fucking situation, you play as a scout who can turn "BECOME INVISIBLE AND BREAK THEIR RANKS TO STAB THEM IN THE BACK YES YES!!" Now this guys moves are just at random to best explain them, he swings around getting his face smashed and randomly throws some dust which causes shit to blow up.
Finally in a big battle with a screen full of orcs you play as an old wizard who fights like the guy in the films, Gandalf I think swinging the staff if it was his meaning in life and firing lightning and firewalls at everyone, suddenly you get an idea where the fuck you are as the main badguy in the 1st part of the 1st film appears and you get a choice to play as the guy who cuts his hand off. . . Who fights just like the dopey knight but with more health. Honestly I had to pause the game I couldn't take the comedy, the bellowy man complimenting my ragdoll ass flying everywhere saying how much of an amazing swordsman I am. I finally killed the guy and the demo kicked me straight back to the menu in an instant. . .
SUM IT UP
-Controls Work well
-Hilarious commentary in background
-Online a pain in the ass and has no armies (Friend's experiance)
-Training level and singleplayer looks promising
-Worth the download from marketplace (Xbox)
