Or how about the scene where a small army of elves marched off a ledge to meet their fiery deaths in the Mines of Moria? Nope, we don't remember these things happening in the films either; however, they certainly do happen in LOTR: Conquest, and the game is all the more enjoyable for it.
This is essentially Battlefront: Middle Earth Edition in everything but name. As with Pandemic Studios' Star Wars games, Conquest is a third person action game that allows you to play through all the epic battles of your favourite film series - assuming that your favourite film series is the adventures of Frodo and co. It's been a fair old while since the release of the Rings movies, so if you have even a passing interest in this game then the chances are that you're a pretty big fan of the trilogy. If this is the case, you're probably wondering if Conquest does a good job of recreating that epic LOTR feel. As it turns out, the answer is... kind of. "
Game Rant Writes "Lord of the Rings: Conquest was like a fantasy take on Battlefront, and the concept really needs to be revisited in another Middle-earth title."
Hell no, it's time for proper LOTR single player open world RPG, and a new battle for middle earth RTS
It would be good if it was like conquest but we know it would be filled with microtransactions and battle passes. So no.
The Lord of the Rings would make a brilliant open world, single-player RPG, filled with loot, lore and stories of the player's adventures!
I cannot express how much I would like an open world Lord of the Rings along the lines of Skyrim.
Sam Smith: ''With the recent travesty known as Aliens: Colonial Marines making us pine for what could have been, Play have decided to take a look back at five games that could have been so much more. There’s no real order to these, all of them were pretty rubbish.''
Haha, too funny that Colonial Marines made the list. And I remember Lair. I wanted to love that game. I bought it after they patched the controls. Despite that it was still sooo bad. It had gorgeous cut scenes though.
I'd had replaced something with Haze personally.
It wasn't as bad as some listed here but it wasn't quite what it should and could had been either--and like Lair was an actual exclusive. I can honestly say the only thing I really remember about Haze was it had something to do with Nectar and bee color motifs... and I had forgotten about it almost completely until reading this.
Now that the PS4 controller has way way improved motion controls, its probable that we could see a better Lair coming out for it.
i think Lair is worth trying. people say it sucks before they tried it out. i liked the sixaxis implementation it works quite well and graphics weren't bad at all.
and how stupid is it to say PS3 disappointment where only one of the games if exclusive ?
Ive never played Lair myself, but I always wanted to.
Well until all the harsh reviews came in atleast saying the controls didnt work...
WHAT IF... LAIR controls worked perfectly?
What then?
i said it was rubbish....................... ..
