Lord of the Rings Conquest Review: where are they?

By: Peter Chubb | January 13, 2009 | 3 Comments

Lord of the Rings Conquest is just the latest game from the LOTR world and has been developed by Pandemic Studios, and published by Electronic Arts. Game fans will recognize that much of the gameplay mechanics have been borrowed from Star Wars: Battlefront, another game from Pandemic. The game will be released on the Sony PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, users wishing to purchase the new game have been looking for a review, and that is the problem, where are they?

Lord of the Rings Conquest is based on the LOTR trilogy; the player will have the choice of playing either good or evil. Pandemic has used some of the elements from the movie, as well as taking inspiration from the novels.

I decided to do a bit of searching myself, and I have come across some previews of the game, but no review. The Guardian has been talking up the PC version of the game, but that is all. Planet Xbox 360, they explain how Xbox 360 users are getting ready for the first major 360 release of 2009.

    There are a couple of reviews out, with more (obviously) to come.

    Guardian review:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/jan/13/games-pc

    4/5 stars (8/10)

    \”Yes, it\’s one of those games that almost plays itself, but it\’s gorgeous to behold and a promising start to the gaming year.\”

    Gameplayer review:

    http://www.gameplayer.com.au/gp_documents/090113LOTRConquestReview.aspx?Page=1

    6.5/10

    There have also been reviews in Germany and other European places – one gave it a 6, while another gave it a 7.9. So yeah, a bit mixed so far.

    I can’t wait to play it. :)

    Some studios require reviewers to sign agreements that they will not release negative reviews before a game’s release, so I’m guessing a lot of reviewers rated it lower hence we have no reviews on release date. Having played the demo though, it’s not a bad game, feels like the successor to RotK is PS2 but with more robust multi. Sure it doesn’t push the envelope of innovation but it’s FUN TO PLAY, something reviewers often forget to mention.
