Lord of the Rings: Conquest coming in January

by Justin McElroy { Oct 30th 2008 at 9:45AM }

If you're anything like us (and we assume you are, otherwise what are you doing here?) you sort of forgot Lord of the Rings: Conquest existed. And who could blame you? With all the Fables about DeadFalloutCry, who had time for a Star Wars Battlefront-esque take on a license that's sooo 2003? Well, hopefully you will on January 13, when the game arrives in North America on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

The release date notice emphasized how Conquest allows you to join either the forces of good or evil. As Pandemic boss Josh Resnick said, "What The Lord of the Rings fan hasn't fantasized about joining Sauron's army to slay Hobbits?" For the record, we haven't, you sicko.

I didn't forget about it. I actually saw some vids on it the other day. Too bad it looks horrid. Hopefully they have fixed a lot of that by now since the video was pretty old.

Yeah I remember I saw some gameplay vids of Conquest and it's not looking so hot. BUT if the gameplay mechanics are fun and the battles are well-paced, I could see myself renting it for the weekend.

Pandemic...the company that shoots for the moon and ends up touching...New Jersey.

Pass.

Pandemic? No wonder it looked horrid. I dl'd the Mercs 2 demo only to find a glitchy ugly game with crappy controls. Oh well, they should have hired Molenuex and his crew for this, lol.

I'd rather just have Star Wars Battlefront 3, but I'll still probably get this, if only as a rental

I'm still looking forward to this. I just hope the combat has more depth to it than what we saw in Battlefront 2. BF2's gunplay just didn't feel like there was much going on there, like there wasn't much that could separate a great player from a new one.
