January 13, 2009 - Good - Diehard fans of both online, class-based games and The Lord of the Rings might want to invest the sixty bucks, but if redundant and unimaginative gameplay are things you despise, you'll want to steer clear.
January 20, 2009 - Mediocre - Applying the old Battlefront formula to a different theme comes with mixed results. Lord of the Rings: Conquest is a solid beginning to a series that may continue long after the shire has burned to the ground.
February 6, 2009 - Mediocre - If you are a fan of the series or this style of hack and slash gameplay, there is enough here to warrant your time. Otherwise, you may want to keep your distance or stick to a rental.
January 14, 2009 - Mediocre - War is messy, and The Lord of the Rings: Conquest isn't a clean gaming experience. Combat can be as exasperating as it is exhilarating, and playing solo can be a trying endeavor.
January 20, 2009 - Mediocre - "The Lord of the Rings" fans may want to rent this one to play through the campaigns, but anyone who wants a satisfying multiplayer experience should look elsewhere.
January 16, 2009 - Mediocre - There is certainly lots of fun to be had with LOTR: Conquest, but unfortunately it's not really the kind of fun that lasts over a long period of time. Even if you're a massive fan of the series, we'd advise you to approach this game with caution.
January 14, 2009 - Poor - There isn't an online gamer, Battlefront player, Dynasty Warriors nerd, movie buff, or Lord of the Rings fanatic on Earth who could be satisfied with Conquest.
