Product Description
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3 | Edition: Standard Edition
The Lord of the Rings War In The North is an epic multiplayer action/RPG video game based on the renowned stories by J.R.R. Tolkien. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment holds the rights to develop video games based on both the literary and motion picture content from The Lord of the Rings, allowing Snowblind to explore original and familiar narrative elements in more than 12 areas, of which only three have been seen in the films.
Breaking new ground as the first mature-rated LOTR video game, The Lord of the Rings War In The North evolves the RPG genre through innovative online, interdependent co-op play for up to three players who form their own Fellowship and engage in brutal combat.
Exploring previously unseen lands, story elements and characters as well as elements familiar from past feature films, gamers experience extensive character customization and development, expansive co-op gameplay options and upgradeable weapons, skills and special abilities. Players must play together or perish as they work to defeat Sauron's forces in the North.
- Create your own Fellowship - Together, players and their friends will experience an epic, story-based adventure through vast Middle-earth to experience storylines and characters going beyond what has been seen in the feature films and previous games
- Play as a team or perish! - Social play is redefined through groundbreaking online, interdependent co-op gameplay which enables three different gamers to play as a complementary group where individual skills enhance the success of each team member
- Brutal gameplay - The Lord of the Rings War in the North is the first M-rated The Lord of the Rings game on the market, authentically derived from The Lord of the Rings lore and delivering on action RPG principles

I bought this game for online play with a friend. I have been playing single player until he gets his version and as it has been well documented got the Mirkwood chapter glitch on my first playthrough. Started again and made sure I did not die during this chapter and killed everything and got through fine. What makes it worthwile for me is the combat, it is a lot of fun but I really don't want to start all over again. Know that this game is basically incomplete with all the bugs as I constantly am concerned about the next game-breaking bug as I play. Average game otherwise with super fun combat. Orcs here I come!!!

This game started off great (especially with playing co-op) but then I encountered several game breaking glitches which be caused by many different factors such as quitting in a middle of a level, not exploring very conservation option, dying/failing a task. This caused the game not to respawn the bosses (walk around in a empty area), the next map location will not appear etc and since you can't create your own separate save files you would have to hope that the save did not corrupt itself. There are ways round this though and that's by playing from a earlier level in multiplayer and hoping that the host can get past the bugs themselves.
These bugs have been around since this games release back in November and the current patches did not fix anything, some people are lucky and won't get any of these glitches but for the majority this game has been ruined by the constant bugs. I would not recommend this game as it is right now unless the game company manage to fix which is highly unlikely.

This game is like a cross between demon souls and god of war, and in my opinion it does a good job of balancing itself between these two styles of gaming. I really cant understand why some professional reviewers have been so harsh on it. The combat system is cleverly designed, the special skills, and levelling up system is also very well put together so that depending on the character you gradually create during the game your combat style, and use of weapons is affected accoringly. I have played demons souls for lots of hours, I have completed all the gow games, red dead redemption, all the unchartered games, batman, etc, and in my opinion this game is right up there with those games. not without some very minor flaws, but overall definately worth 5 stars.

Okayish
it's an OK hack and slash game, but doesn't do much in the way of variety. Each level seems to be the same with a different background and enemies. Read more

suprisingly good!
O.k. I will admit that this is not my type of game,[or so I thought] I usually like fps like battlefield [3 not 4] and bf 1943. I tried skyrim but must admit I got bored! Read more
