Review: Lord of the Rings Online (Lotro)

31 Oct 2009 12:09:24 PDT

Written by mrmcblonde
All in all it was good to start with but I got bored with it. The graphics are good but in my opinion not really very “Lord of the ringsy”. Having read the first book and been read all three as a child plus the hobbit I felt it didn’t have the right “feel” to it. I know this might not be a glowing revie...

Written by kaiserhawk
While being a conquest style game there are actually two story campaigns that you can partake in, one for the Forces of Good and one for Evil. These are loosely (And I mean very loosely) based around the Story of the Lord of the Rings starting from Helms Deep to the Black Gate. They take some side...

Written by Brandon
Lord of the Rings: Conquest sounded fun. I was never a big fan of the Star Wars: Battlefront series, but Lord of the Rings, one would think, lends itself to the “big epic battle played from the perspective of a grunt” genre better than Star Wars. I imagine Star Wars working out better as an RTS...

Anyway, if you’ve already invested a lot of time into the original Lord of the Rings Online, get Mines of Moria. If you did invest time, but stopped playing because of a lack of end-game content, get Mines of Moria. If you’ve never played LOTRO don’t bother. After some difficulty, I’v...

Opinion: Challenge progress

Written by blaney1129@gmail.com (Becky)
Note: I've read 18 books so far. I had initially wanted to read The Once and Future King by T.H. White and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. But I just don't see that happening. Note: I've read 9 books. I'm lacking the Lord of the Rings trilogy, however.

Opinion: EQ2 vs. LotRO

13 Aug 2007 23:53:00 PDT

Written by Tobold@GMail.com
Lord of the Rings Online is the more accessible game of the two. I would also say it has the prettier graphics, but beauty being in the eye of the beholder I'm sure of getting some comments disagreeing with that statement. LotRO's ultimate strength is it's Tolkien license. LotRO does an excell...
