Lord of the Rings Battlefront?


Just the other day, I was playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 with a friend when i made the comment that they should make a Lord of the Rings Battlefront. Well surprise! It has just been announced that next gen consoles are going to see this sort of game after all. IGN.com has a really cool inside look at Lord of the Rings: Conquest, which is a fantasy version of the Battlefront saga.

In this game you have HUGE maps, can play as monsters like trolls and Balrogs, and get to control heroes from the movies! In addition, EVERY major battle from the movie trilogy will have a level, plus you get to play levels that present what would happen if evil had won. Picture yourself as a Ringwraith trampling hobbits underfoot as you invade the Shire! Shudder!

Check out the article at IGN.com for more and an interview with the game makers.
The release date is TBA and will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Signing out, The Buckland Fiddler
