I like the Battlefront formula, so using it for Lord of the Rings was something I appreciated. An enjoyable game despite its various problems.
battlefront for the non simps
I love this, it's fun. I replay it very often. I still have my old account's trophy data, I beat it for the first time in 2011! I'd say I've replayed it probably two dozen times or so since then. It's easy dopamine for me.
A great idea for a game executed terribly
Only reviewing the couch/Xbox Live multiplayer from playing at a friend's house in 2010, was a very sick Battlefront 2-type game. Fun maps and roles. Want to play the campaign eventually
Excellent game
It's Battlefront with a LoTR coat of paint and it works so well. Love bringing this game up because it's criminally overlooked.
Had TONS of fun when I had sleep overs at my friends house back in the day.
Yeah, it's definitely just battlefront with a Lord of the Rings skin on it. It's still fun though, and has some great couch co-op. The campaign even has some fun levels that weren't included in the movies.
It's not a bad game, but damn does the budget show.
Hollow sound design, somewhat confusing combat, imbalanced classes, uninspired missions... Battlefront 2 (2005) this is not. The melee-focus hurts the game quite a bit, and even heroes seem underwhelming.
For my LOTR game fix, I'll stick with Two Towrs, RotK, Third Age, and LOTRO.

It's good
This was not just a cash grab, it was a completely playable game that took something like seven hours to complete. It had some music and I think also voice acting that had been taken directly from the movies. Nobody would play anything like this, but it had Lord of the Rings in it so we had to.
might hurt if your here for some sort of super accurate game but no this one is just plain fun like a game should be (and the only game you fucking destroy saruman by being a hobbit)
Do you think that orcs have hobbies? Is murder a hobby?
I'm sure it doesn't hold up as well today, but man, I played this just as much as the original Star Wars: Battlefront II back in the day. I absolutely adored both games.
Takie gówno, że to hit, ale że lotr to było grane dużo
Won't bother giving this one a long review or anything.
I like how faithful this game is to the Peter Jackson films, the Sauron campaign is pretty kino overall and it is cool to slay thousands of orcs.
That is where the praise about this game ends though, the gameplay feels so clunky and stiff to control, the graphics are actually dogshit for a mid gen PS3 game (remember that games like MGS4 came out at this point), the mechanics are not deep in the slightest. It's just a poor man's version of a LOTR Battlefront 2.
If they made a second Conquest game, it would have been awesome though. A shame really.
