AtomicGamer previews Conquest
Friday, October 3rd, 2008

AtomicGamer has posted up a new preview for Pandemic’s LotR: Conquest. The article is very positive, and especially so about the maps featured in the game.

Whatever the mode, you’re bound to appreciate the epic scale of the game. Whether it’s the Shire or Isengard, the Pellenor Fields or the Black Gate, the maps are huge. They have to be—not only do they need to accommodate huge armies, they have to be roomy enough for siege engines, horses, wargs and oliphants. The last three can actually be used as mounts, which makes covering a lot of ground that much easier.

The article also seems to indicate that the game has received a “T for Teen” rating, which means its reaching its final stages in developement. The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is expected later this fall on the PC, PS3, Nintendo DS and Xbox 360.

No replies? I'm surprised! This is quite a revealing preview. Compared to others, anyway.

I think we need to see a proper play trough of these maps. The short bits I've seen didn't give me the impression they were particularly huge compared to other FPS games. And there weren't THAT many units on there either.

Yea I agree. It doesnt seem to epic to me, but if its anywhere near half as fun as Halo 3 then it will be tons of fun. I say that because the most popular Online FPS's are Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. I doubt it will be like CoD 4 as it is more arcadey like Halo 3.

Also how are all these little gaming sites getting previews and poor little MEC is left in the dust.
_Freek:
Those "little gaming sites" are a LOT bigger then we are, and still employ professional writers and journalists.

But MEC isn't left in the dark :)
