Electronic Theatre offers in analysis of Electronic Arts latest Lord of the Rings release, Lord of the Rings: Conquest - the title to break-in the 2009 UK release schedule.

Online multiplayer is well catered-for, with sixteen player matches in a variety of a-typical modes leaving the player with little question as to what is demanded of them. Skilled players will become proficient in no time, overcoming even the Scout’s annoyingly cumbersome Back Stab manoeuvre, but also finding the quite obvious unbalance with certain Heroes. Gimli in particular appears to be stunted in more ways than appropriate, and the Witch King may well be able to take plenty of damage, but is less of a formidable adversary than a Hobbit.
