Lord of the Rings: Conquest is another one of those games everyone wants to play whether they admit it or not. From those nerds who speak fluent Elf to hardcore gamers, it was one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. Lord of the Rings in general has produced so strong of a fan base that creating a poor LotR game isn't going to adversely affect too many, Buy gold on wow and Conquest does its best to placate these thousands of rabid fans.

Those who have played Star Wars: Battlefronts have essentially played Conquest. You take the roll of a rank-and-file soldier of four different classes to take part in famous battles from the books/movies or in a separate evil plotline in which Frodo fails to return the ring. The Scout is a stealth expert who can use bombs as well as backstab people for an instant kill. Warriors are...well, warriors. They use large swords to clear the field of enemies and can tap into a fiery sword skill to do more damage. Mages use area-of-effect to clear out foes and do probably the most radial damage. Archers use their bows to quickly eliminate enemies and inflict poison on groups. Do well enough and you can play as heroes-Saruman, Gandalf, Aragorn, and even a special surprise guest in the last evil level-and even ride and use Oliphaunts, Trolls and Ents.

While the hack 'n' slash game play and quick levels are fun, lotro gold Conquest suffers from a relatively poor visual style, especially from what one would expect from a LotR game. The levels have similar and sometimes monotone objectives such as "grab an item" or "secure a point." These are strong detractors from an otherwise well-made game. The action-packed style speaks to those action fans while story-lovers can respect the new evil storyline.

Conquest is a good deal of fun and time-killer, but again the somewhat stagnant game play and shoddy graphics are detractors from a great game. Rent it first before you buy.
