Examiner Review: Lord of the Rings: Conquest

Examiner writes: "Lord of the Rings: Conquest is basically a button-mashing action game set against the backdrop of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Generally speaking, I initially liked the game — but it suffers from a serious flaw that prevented me from enjoying it as much as I could have.

Each of the game’s levels correspond to a battle in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, such as the Mines of Moria or Osgiliath. You’ll start by selecting a character class to play, and then cut, chop, blast, and smite your way through a variety of enemies to achieve objectives — most of which involve defending a location for a certain amount of time to ‘secure’ an area on the battlefield."
