great, but extremely frusterating game.
you play as either a sword wielding warrior, an archer, a cheap scout, or a mage. the warrior is ok but the ai for the other warrior will constantly cheap shot you. the archer is pretty good but he has very little health and his kick is delayed so if you get charged by a warrior you are most likely screwed. however his head shots are very useful. the scout is ok but his bombs will miss a lot and his attacks are weak except for his backstab which is almost always an instant kill. the mage is in my opinion the best because they're fireball attack is powerful, they're lightning can chain to more than 1 opponent, and they can heal.
the main problem with this game is the extreme amount of cheap deaths.you can be owning with a hero when all of a sudden a scout kills you instantly. the dragons, oh the dragons, they SUCK. 1 time i was getting ready to kill gandolf with sarumen and right when i started(i had .5 seconds to react)i was killed by a dragon. they also never seem to attack your opponents. another cheap way to die is the enemy warriors. they never use 1 attack. they use 6-8 attacks even on the easiest difficulty. sure they give you a second to run away but since your guy has to lay on the ground for 2 seconds,roll over twice, lay for a second and then get up. this happens EVERY FRIGGEN TIME you get atacked by a warrior because you always fall down. its even cheaper when 3 warriors kill you instantly with 1 attack. these things don't make the game more hard, they make it frusterating.
the only control problems i found is that you can't automatically sprint or press a button to. you have to run for 5-10 seconds and then you will sprint. another is that the mage's controls are unresponsive and delayed. you will constantly find yourself tapping a button so you can use it.
the strong point in this game is the multiplayer. the scouts aren't too cheap on this mode because there are not a lot of opponents to block your sight of the halo-like cloke that they use and you can kill them faster. the attacks are more powerful which is good and bad. its good because even the most skilled player can die if he isn't careful. its bad because now the mage's fireball can kill you in seconds now, headshots are twice as devastating, your even more screwed if you get knocked down, and the warriors axe throw is frusterating.
overall this game is very frusterating but good.
