The mage can cast a shield that recharges your health, and the Dwarf can be a good meatshield.Īs I picked the ranger, I had access to swordplay and archery.
You fight the usual Troll with a club or some tough mini-boss type guy.ĭepending on the character you pick, your teammates can aid you in battle. The boss fights aren’t that well designed here at all. The combat also gets a lot repetitive later in the game, as you feel like you are killing the same enemies and doing the same actions. There is a lot of gore in the game along with QTEs which allow you to do some brutal attacks. When the blade meets their chunky flesh, it feels good and meaty the dismemberment also adds to the experience. The combat, surprisingly, is one of the fun things about the game, as killing the Orcs is a lot of fun. You can equip weapons that you find during your journey though, and it’s quite limited due to the inventory space concerns. In fact, this is the one thing I really hate about the game. I hate repairing weapons in any RPG as it breaks the flow for me, and it’s the same here. They cost money though, and that’s hard to come by. All the weapons can be upgraded and you also get better weapons during battle or at the blacksmith. I picked a melee character for my first playthrough – a Ranger who could also wield a bow with exquisite finesse. The combat system is quite intriguing here, although, can get annoying sometimes. Your journey is broken into levels, and you also have secondary objectives to complete. Snowblind studios have showed some good artistic design capabilities here, as the game looks fantastic, and you really have to admire the production values. After the initial cutscene, you can tune your character’s looks as you wish and thus begins your journey to the North, where you have to defeat Sauron’s mighty General, Agandaur. So with that out of the way, you can even go solo with one of them and play the story mode. You can choose any one of the three characters (Ranger, Dward or a Mage) in this game, and the game also has a co-op mode, which I feel is pretty well integrated. But there are some annoying faults that you should know of.
The lord of the rings war in the north ps2 ps2#
The LOTR fan in me enjoyed it, but well, I even enjoyed those terrible PS2 ones, but is this good enough game to get if you have a passing interest in the lore? I would say yes. Does that change with the latest LOTR game – War in the North? Well it’s a mixed bag, actually. Why? It’s simple, because no one has made a decent LOTR game before. Just by reading the name of the game, you will be skeptical of it.
