I might download it later. To be honest I haven't paid any attention to the game's development. Is it still pretty much Lord Of The Rings Battlefront?

Yeah, I think so, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Tried it for the PS3 yesterday. It was decent, but MP takes a TON of getting used to. Single player, on the other hand, is a very entertaining slaughterfest. It's nice to see Zero's new face, too. Graphics are nice, battles are huge, lag is nonexistent in singleplayer. *hopes for modtools* 8.5/10

Oh, the link originally said all three. I wondered why I couldn't find it on Xbox Live tonight.

Yeah sorry - typically I play Rock Band or Destroy All Humans! of late. I really need to pop in Halo 3 so you can kick my butt some more.


So for anyone wondering if LotR: Conquest uses the Zero engine, a Pandemic Studios (employee?) forum admin stated it in fact does. (Not surprising, as it's perfect for this type of game)

Not a LotR fan but I'll try the demo (PC) when it's released.

I've been looking around for a release date for the 360 demo, and then you got my hopes up again when you said it was out for 360. :( I was reading some IGN comments on the PS3 demo and the reception is mixed.

A new trailer came out last week: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14235 ... 21908.html. It shows off some awesome-looking battles and the graphics aren't too bad either. Well, except for the character models, which belong in last-gen.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I played the PS3 Demo,too.
Hidden/Spoiler:
You play a Training Level there and need to defeat Sauron at the End.Which wasnt hard.Its basically a learning of the numerous Abilitys of the Units called Warrior,Archer,Scout and Mage and a Hero.So the Demo is very short
I loved the Archer much.Hes very cool.
All Character Animations are well done.Capturing the CP Flags and fighting with a Hero feels nearly the same than in BF.The new Zero Engine looks very nice.
Think i will get it for PS3 if its out

Oooh, there's a place I definitely want to play; the Shire.
I wanted LOTRO just so I could visit the Shire but nooooo, they had to make it pay-to-play

The moment the PC and Xbox 360 demos get released, I'm certain they will be posted instantly in this thread.

Buying it.

I love how much it feels like BFII. Four different classes, "vehicles" (Ent/Cave Troll), heroes, command posts, and the ARC Caster. However, all of these things have been changed just enough to change the game, for instance, the command posts are now more like spawn points than instant victory items. I'm still all like "asfghskjfszdfjslkgjldf" after playing it so I'll try to write more about it later.

Oh, and Thire and I were on The Shire level, he was an archer, I was a mage, and I pulled a Gandalf on the enemy's Troll. With the Mage's ARC Caster, I killed it while shouting "YOUUUUU... SHALL NOT...PAAAASSSS!"
