Middle-Earth stands on the brink of destruction, and you must
unite to either save it, or destroy it, in The Lord of the Rings:
Conquest. With every race bound to this e, all you have to
decide is what to do with the time given to you, and choose your
allegiance.
All Your Favorites Come to Life
Developed by Pandemic Studios and published by Electronic Arts
for Microsoft's Xbox 360, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest allows
gamers to make the choice between good and evil. Those who side
with good will get to follow Frodo's journey through
Middle-Earth, playing in battles inspired by both the books and
the movies. Or join evil to find out what may have happened if
Frodo had failed to destroy the One Ring, as you fight your way
with Sauron back across the in an attempt to destroy
Rivendell, the Shire, and all that is good in the world.
Building off the model Pandemic used with Star Wars:
Battlefront, Lord of the Rings: Conquest provides you with a
first and/or third person shooter style of game that not only
lets you command strategy, but also lets you control the players
in the center of the action. Participate in the Battle of
Isengard as an Ent or fight Saruman at Orthanc as Gandalf
himself. Take on the Nazgul as Aragorn while still protecting
Frodo, or battle at Pelennor as a Rohirrim cavalry soldier. And
that is just for the good guys! In Conquest you will have to play
many different characters in order to win. And it isn't always
such a balanced match, as you will find yourself destroying
towering siege engines and taking on hulking oliphaunts with your
companions. You can choose to play all the heroes you love, or
fight as a Nazgul tasked with killing Frodo and stretch your
powerful wings as the Balrog himself in your battle for Moria.
Pick Your Own Style of Play
In the game, you'll be able to play as one of four different
character classes. Choose the melee-based Warrior or Scout for
up-close action, or pick the Archer or Mage to perform
devastating ranged attacks. There is also talk of a 'special'
class called the Guardian to give gamers a third choice. But
don't worry about getting locked in, as you can actually change
which character class you're playing on the fly, in the middle of
the game's various objective-based missions.
Each class of characters has its own strengths and weaknesses,
as well as unique special abilities. Playable units range from
grunt soldiers, which are the weakest, to captains, which are the
strongest AI units in the game other than the heroes. You also
get to order in air strikes using either eagles or fellbeasts.
Even better, players will be able to the occasional horse,
unless they've chosen evil, in which case they will have to
master the skill of riding a fearsome warg.
Multiple Modes for Endless Fun
As in Battlefront, Lord of the Rings: Conquest has enormous
competitive multiplayer modes, including Conquest, Capture the
, and Hero Deathmatch. In addition to these classics,
Conquest adds a Ring Bearer mode, in which one player tries to
stay alive as Frodo against a host of ringwraiths, and Stronghold
in which you fight on various s in a Risk-style battle for
territories. Fortunately, you won't be limited to roaming around
with only your teammates, however, as battles occur in large
scale with non-player combatants joining in the fray.
Conquest allows online play with up to 16 players for massive
battles with all your friends, or in two-player cooperative mode.
Players can also play locally with up to four players
competitively, or two-player co-op on a split screen. When in the
game itself, fans will get the thrill of hearing Howard Shore's
score for the films accompanying the action, and both good and
evil campaigns are narrated by Hugo Weaving, who played Elrond in
the movies.
You can choose to play either good or evil, each with different
endings.
