Great to play with some friends but minor bugs weigh it down.
The game plays a lot like the Battlefield series where you capture certain points on a map and push the enemy back to the last objective which normally involves killing the main baddie. The music is great and recognizable for anyone who has watched the movie series.
The AI in singleplayer can be pretty irritating, they'll help you for the most part but won't really start helping until your character charges in there to initiate the attack or capture of an area. The most frustrating thing in Conquest is the instant deaths that sometimes happen. Archers can easily headshot you from afar or you can be slapped by a troll which often times mean instantly dead.
The game isn't bad, these issues are really only minor, it's somewhat good you can die pretty quickly so you know you just aren't so overpowered over everyone else then that might get a little ridiculous. It's an enjoyable game that relives the great battles in Lord of the Rings and being able to play on Sauron's side is truly rewarding. The singleplayer campaigns may be over quick but the game truly shines in multiplayer and playing with friends.
