A black numenorean has taken command of an ancient citadel and summoned to him a giant army of orcs and ogres.Your job is to stop him and protect the free people of the north .Choose between a axe wielding dwarf a magical elf or a Dunedain ranger,but of course the choices dont stop there you can also choose where to spend your points, make the elf a offensive mage or a defensive healer,etc.The ranger can have stealth sword wielding or arrows skills or a combination there of .The type of combat you employ will be influenced by your character and in what direction you choose to evolve them.
The game is great with varied enemies, missions and prompts you to alter your tactics frequently as more deadly foes are suddenly unveiled.
The bad
American accents? in middle earth? REALLY? jars very badly when some of the voice actors have made the effort and others sound like there from the bronx version of middle earth.
Other than that its a quite involving if short romp through the hidden realms of lord of the rings
My only gripe with the game itself is, after completing the main story, being unable to go back to finish side quests waiting to be turned in. We were cut out of extra achievements for this. However there is replay value in playing through the story again with your old characters, allowing you to level up further and find better weapons and armour. There are extra maps and challenges to keep you entertained for a while at the highest levels.
As far as couch co-op games go, this is my favourite, albeit there is not much competition. I can imagine the single player being a little lack-lustre, but I have not tried it so that’s only an assumption.
There is a definite sense that this is a Lord of the Rings game even though you are not playing as a familiar charecter - although you do meet charecters from the books/films.
Having only played Split Screen CO-OP and the single player campaign I can't comment on the online attributes.
overall a very good game for its current price.
For an older game this is definitely good value for money and we got a good amount of play time from it! Like Diablo 3 you can replay the storyline and get better loot etc.
I'd definitely recommend it if you enjoyed games like Dungeon Siege, Diablo & Sacred 2.
