Lord of the Rings: War in the North Message Board  

yes everyone is entitled to their opinion..u liked it and i didnt
it seems ur a big LOTR fan who has read manuscripts and the whole book thats why ur liking it so much
ive just seen the movies and really dont know what the hell is going on in the game :P
i guess u may enjoy it if ur a big LOTR fan familiar with its fine details
i think a casual gamer wont enjoy it much
but i seriously feel its behind in graphic design considering the standards we r seeing today
take withcer 2 as an eg or even dragon age 2...its no where close to that level

Nice game, i thought it would be boring lol

All i know of LOTR is what the movies showed me. Sadly i never read any of the books (other than Hobbit but thats a whole different story) however i must say i REALLY enjoyed this game.. i loved that it focused on something other than what i saw in the movie.. i always wonder when i watch movies what the "Little guys" are doing while i watch the main actors go about their lives.. and thats exactly what this game gave me..

one complaint i have is its wayyy to damn short.. it took me about 3 hrs to finish it (with the trainer)

don't think this game was up to much by to days standards but the lore of it was great playing lotr on-line for years it was nice to see the lore behind the areas I lvl in.
the combat could been better not able to switch was a pain and not using the trainer im finding it hard when the mobs your fighting have 4 times the health you do and hit just has hard and

I agree with you, the graphic seem to be a straight port over from a console, and on computers with ATI cards there are known problems, I find the game crashed randomly (usually inside) or slows down and becomes jumpy for no apparent reason. And yet my computer runs Skyrim with the HD mods installed and on the highest level of detail. so I know its not my computer that is at fault with this one.

Also you randomly hit invisible walls when trying to explore... the game really sucks. The story line kinda sucks too... though it may become better as I go along, the game keeps on crashing randomly, I might be able to finish the game if they ever fix the graphics problems which I think are causing the crashes... but so far this game has been a waste of money...

That's why you wait till a sale before you buy it. I got it for 19$ from steam. Well worth it in my opinion.

I Enjoyed the game to be honest, yes it has its quirks and its bugs, but it's still an enjoyable experience in my mind even with those, I've even recommended this to a friend who is a huge "Lord Of The Rings" fan, and he agrees with me, but I know what I say cannot change everyone's mind, and everyone has their opinions, but I definitely say it's worth a go, even if you buy it when it's on a STEAM sale, or any sale at a retailers, probably say now Maximum £15 in English or similar in American Dollars
