Pandemic Studios applies the same formula it used in the popular
Star
Wars: Battlefront series to another cherished mythology in The Lord of
the Rings: Conquest, this time letting players take either side of
J.R.R. Tolkien's epic tale of good vs. evil and then battle through
familiar locations from Peter Jackson's film adaptations. There are four
playable classes, allowing gamers to wield swords in melee combat as a
Warrior, fire arrows at enemies as an Archer, use stealth and cunning as
a Scout, or employ magic to attack or heal as a Mage. Players can also
make use of familiar creatures such as oliphaunts and trolls, use horses
and wargs as mounts, and periodically take control of series heroes or
villains,
