Tech Gamer review Wed, 18 Feb 2009

Videogames inspired from the Lord the of the Rings films have always been to a higher standard than most movie tie-ins. Unfortunately, Conquest chooses to ignore the character and personality of the source material and instead, gave me a headache with its shallow combat and ridiculous retelling of the Rings story.

As a long term fan of the books and films I've eagerly consumed every videogame release that's drawn on the Lord of the Rings saga. I've poured many hours into the excellent MMO - The Lord of Rings Online. I've had great fun with the two RTS games - The Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2. I've enjoyed the action games named after the last two films and even stomached a cute little platforming version of The Hobbit. So when LOTR Conquest was released I was naturally interested and excited to see what the developers, Pandemic, had done with such epic and deep source material.

Family Gamer review Thu, 05 Feb 2009

Adam Fast joins our resident family gamer team to bring his thoughts on Lord of the Rings: Conquest. My experience of Lord of the Rings: Conquest from beginning to end was one full of disappointment and irritation. From the limited combat to the confusing and downright erroneous campaign structure I was left frustrated and angry that a beloved franchise could succumb to such depths. Straying so far away from the original source material, Conquest is a wretched game devoid of any character or depth that would endear itself to any gamer. If you have a love of anything Tolkien then stay well away.

The very first moments of this game brought me back to a moment in 2001, where after many years of waiting the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings unveiled itself to me on the silver screen. The way the New Line Cinema logo unfurled itself and the first few bars of Howard Shore's fantastic score was a perfect prelude to the magic I was about to watch.
