The demo for Pandemic and EA's Lord of the Rings: Conquest has been downloaded over one million times and knocke Activision's Call of Duty: World at War off the top of the Live charts after nine weeks on top.
Available on Sony's PSN and Microsoft's Xbox Live services, the game was released earlier this month but has received lukewarm reviews from the specialist press. The game thrusts players in to key moments of the story and on the frontlines of the epic battles.
“‘The Lord of the Rings’ experience is something our team has been passionate about delivering and we believe players will discover a Middle-earth experience like no other,” said Andrew Goldman, Pandemic Studios co-founder and general manager on the launch of the game. Now "Lord of the Rings fans can choose to save The Shire or set to destroy it. Providing that level of control and freedom is something we are proud to offer.”
Created by the same team behind the best-selling Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II titles, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest opens the fantasy world of Middle-earth giving players the choice to join the powers of good or the forces of evil, in the eternal struggle to control the One Ring.
Players can choose to control their favorite heroes and villains including Aragorn, Gandalf, the Witch-king, the Balrog and even the Dark Lord Sauron. Players can also engage surrounding characters in the world such as wargs and oliphaunts, control catapults and balistas, and even play as giant creatures such as cave trolls and Ents. As well, fans can play through the campaign modes cooperatively via online or split-screen and relieve their favorite battles competitively via four-player split-screen or online with up to 16 players.
