The Return of the King
I have also written this review on Gamefaqs. Honestly, I had given up on the prospect of the release of another LOTR game. But lo and behold! Here is The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. So without any further ado... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings franchise has never gotten the game it deserved, this isn't it, but it's a good try.
In The Lord of the Rings: War in the North you play as a new fellowship set during the same time as the original trilogy. The fellowship you play as in War in the North is comprised of Farin, a Dwarven Champion of Erebor... Read Full Review

War in the North, Full on Co-Op Game!
LOTR War in the North was a great addition to the LOTR games. It is not like the movies, there is familiar names but it tells another story, to the movies, making it even funner to play. It is a 3 player (a dwarf, a rang... Read Full Review

Better than average Hack -n- Slash Dungeon Crawler, with Outstanding Co-Op play that makes this a keeper!
What is GREAT: 1. Co-Op play. 2. Watching, in slow motion, when you time a heavy strike just right and you decapitate an ogre or other villains head (and get extra xp for dong it too) 3. Equipment and Weapon Select... Read Full Review

It's no as bad as others say
The game itself is good, the story is kind of simple but it remains good enough, the different locations from the movie are a good thing whether you red the books or not. The game play is what you expect from a hack and ... Read Full Review

As a huge Lord Of The Rings fan I wasn't that disappointed, ended up really liking it.
When I bought this game I was worried I was going to regret it because I thought they'd put some false information about Middle Earth in it, but thankfully they didn't. Personally I really enjoyed playing it, I thought ... Read Full Review

War in the North is a good game but it is all hack and slash and shooting with ballistas.
War in the North is a good game but it is all hack and slash and shooting with ballistas. The graphics are impressive, the gameplay is fun, and the Boss battles are exellent, but the game is missing somethings. 1. Hor... Read Full Review

Fans of Tolkien must still wait for the day when a game comes out that does true justice to the Lord of the Rings...
Lord of the Rings: War in the North, is yet another game that fails to do the concept true justice. The game is buggy as hell, many have still remained unfixed or gotten work even with months of patches. Snowblind studio... Read Full Review

It's initial complication adds to the value of a great game!
When my hubby and I first started this game (yes- you can play a duel mission!)- I was initially quite frustrated, as there was little explanation of skills, weapons, map/places, almost everything.. The guidebook had the... Read Full Review
