    I agree With kagento. The gameplay movies Really Suck So I think this game might get a 7.0 to a 7.5 which is,nt that bad but an average game is,nt worth my money.

    People, I advise not to expect much from this game. U can believe me or not but the game is well under both Battlefronts. if u go ahead and buy the game nonetheless u might enjoy it for a brief period. If u want multi go back to halo or go for Left 4 dead; ithink i might return to star wars battlefront 2 now.

    hope they are gonna make the graphic better, especially the texture is a bit low.

  • Death_Rat

    Posted Jan 7, 2009 9:28 pm PT

    Playing the demo was awesome, so fast paced and hectic.I was getting my arse stomped and still had a good time.I hope they make another SW:Battlefront!!!!

    after playing the demo my mind has changed on it.. the graphics are still s**t but if fun to play it online, and watching Frodo get kicked off into the pit was just epic so the story mode has my interest as well. I may get this later down the line but not on release for $60 when Killzone 2 is coming.

    @Cleaver426, yes the demo is on PSN

  • lev_six

    Posted Jan 6, 2009 7:49 pm PT

    HAHAHA@ them destroying the Shire! That is the funniest thing I've ever seen in a game. I'd buy it just to do that.

  • Cleaver426

    is there a PSN DEMO?

  • ExtremeGamer564

    Posted Jan 6, 2009 4:58 pm PT

    I can`t play the xbox 360 demo cause i don`t have Xbox live.

  • dissa84

    Posted Jan 6, 2009 2:37 pm PT

    Just played the xbox360 demo. The gameplay seems quite smooth and some of the combos are awesome. The camera angle was fine until the final battle with Sauron in the single player training battle, then when you needed to be a little more mobile, it kept flipping to almost birdseye view - bit annoying. Hopefully this will not be a major feature of the full game...can't wait to play the Evil campaign!

  • scphan

    No, trapper, it would be cool, if in one mission You would be part of a huge army.

  • trapper94

    Posted Jan 3, 2009 12:35 pm PT

    Carbon if there was as many enemies as the movies, it would impossible to enjoy the game, I can not wait for this game!

  • rybread13

    the mechanics of star wars battlefront shifted to lord of the rings is just wat the lord of the rings needed to spice it up...i mean ok...knock out all the playing only as heros and get down to wat the series is...the WAR between good and evil...and the battle front mechanics fit that perfectly, which is why it is going to be epic. cant wait to maul hords of enemies.

  • Carbon_

    Posted Jan 2, 2009 11:14 am PT

    doesn't look that epic because of so little enemies

  • jrabbit99

    Posted Jan 1, 2009 1:39 pm PT

    It looks really good!

  • Rohan75

    Posted Jan 1, 2009 10:05 am PT

    i'll probably get it. Why are you crazy about good graphics

    saint rows 2 = okay graphics +great game play = Super FUN

  • Mr_Kralc

    Posted Jan 1, 2009 5:30 am PT

    I may be pessimistic but it oozes bugginess and shocking camera angles. I want this too be good but it doesn't even look as good as the brilliant hack n slash game that was the Return of the King. Aragons moves were the sh*t! If this is as good as that I will certainly purchase.

  • daabulls23

    Posted Dec 30, 2008 8:37 pm PT

    The demo is pretty fun. There are a few balance issues which I hope they fix, and the gameplay could use some more polish, but other than that, it should be a blast.

    I am really looking forward to this game, hopefully i can scrape enough money together to get this soon. I don't see much problem with the graphics of this game and the scenarios look very nice with minimal re-textures. Hopefully Pandemic can bring this game up to level of 'fun-ness' that SW:BF had. I am also interested in how the online is going to be done - I assume it will be like the offline instant action in battlefront 2 where you would play as an infantry unit and every so often a player would get to play as one of the heroes or something.

    Hopefully I can get some ideas of what the game is like quite quickly through some reviews just to round off my decision on whether to get this or wait for Fear 2 or Starcraft 2.

    First Impressions - A Fun game where online will be a huge part of making it successful, good graphics aren't needed (just look at L4D).

    if anyones getting this for 360 please add mainly ppl from the UK easier to tlk to (understandable no high pitch american children)

  • RavageGT

    Posted Dec 30, 2008 12:01 am PT

    Graphics are fine IMO and the quantity of stuff you can do seem pretty sweet. What my worry is, is that the hack & slash gameplay is rather...clunky...I don't know I just don't like the way the witch king swings at his enemies, or how the troll attacks enemies. Still, this game has potential to be awesome.

  • thingta42

    Posted Dec 28, 2008 6:03 am PT

    Why the hell is the only Thing you guys care about are Grahpics? Go play Mount & Blade and then see how Gameplay > Grahpics work

  • tamehed

    Its a shame they havnt stayed more faithful to the source material. Looks like any authentic Middle Earth atmosphere will be ruined with hundreds of mages running around firing lightning bolts. Every warrior will have a magic flaming sword etc. It would have been much cooler if each class had a range of more realistic attacks and weapons that were more in keeping with the books/films.

  • fgiongo

    Posted Dec 27, 2008 12:33 pm PT

    this game is not looking impressive at all IMO... it shows bad graphics so far, and doesn't look epic as it should be, with so little characters on screen at once. I don't understand why ppl are geting hyped about this.

  • Darkness7089

    Posted Dec 27, 2008 6:35 am PT

    I'll be getting this game as soon as its released, looking forward to playing(and reviewing) it. Despite some of Pandemic's failures, most of their games are worth playing, especially the Battlefronts; which is what formula is being used on this game.

    Worse case scenario is that the game lands 8-9 on the rating instead of 9+, one way or the other you don't want to miss this.

  • Hylander20

    Posted Dec 27, 2008 6:20 am PT

    I can't get myself to stop playing the demo of this game. Its easily going to be the greatest Lord of the Rings game ever made and I can't wait for its release date! If this game gets bad ratings I'll be really shocked becuase the demo alone is SICK!!!

  • felipenet7

    Posted Dec 26, 2008 10:09 pm PT

    Mercenaries 2: World in Flames from Pandemic Studios is one of the worse game ever released on next-gen consoles! IF The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is at least 10% like M2 this game is doomed!

  • truehalolover

    Posted Dec 26, 2008 12:45 pm PT
