LOTR Conquest is garbage!

[Slam Da Brakes]

This game is garbage.

The levels are short and if you lose all your lives, you have to restart the level. That I can handle. What I cannot, is how cheaply you can lose them.

• Five warriors can rush you at a time
• Enemies can respawn from nowhere
• Enemy scouts are invisible, then just appear to stab you in the back, instant kill
• Warriors and mini-bosses launch into a combo while you are down, and so you lose 3/4 health if you are lucky. If not, instant kill
• Mini bosses can wave their willies and you are dead, because you dared to launch into a combo

If that is not enough, twice I was offered to become a hero at the end and within five seconds of accepting, I was picked up by a fell beast, instant kill.

As they say in the UK, "You are having a laugh"

Battle games should be a war of attrition, not this.

I haven't played multiplayer or co-op yet, as some people I know have already traded the game in. Should I bother??

Damn, sounds crud, i was hoping to do this game soon, is it worth the pain?

I know exactly where you're coming from Slam and I feel your pain completely, although I would beg to differ whether it's as bad as you make out. The thing that really got me was:

I mean this is absolutely ridiculous that a felbeast can swoop down and pick up Sauron like he's just a standard pawn! But that aside, for easy G's just run through it on 'casual'. Have managed to get all of the offline achievements without too much trouble amounting to 660G. Not really that bad I don't think.

In response to Blain, I wouldn't bother buying it, try renting it or borrowing it from someone for a week. You can run through all of the campaigns easily in a day, and have found some guys from here who are up for boosting the multiplayer achievements (using the methods Slam reported last month).

Simple, fun game, frustrating at times with poor longevity (even with Live options).

P.S If anyone's having trouble getting the offline achievements I'd be more than happy to advise. If I wasn't so busy with uni atm I'd write a guide.

Metacritic gave it an overall 56, which is bad. Most of the criticism was reviewed on the unintelligent game play. This time, I am going have to agree with them.

I didn't say it wasn't easy, just annoying. Jumper was easy, but we all know what a garbage that game was.

i heard from my friends that its a great game if you like the old Star Wars Battlefront games. I have not played it yet but i am hoping to soon.
