I haven't personally played LOTR:Conquest as of yet, but I heard that the demo has been released on PSN and very shortly to be added to XBL. For those who have played it, what are your opinions of it?

I would like to know too.

Im excited for this game, but worried by its lack of publicity, and im left assuming its not going to be good, that or its along the same level as Battlefront, which im fine with.

I'm really split on the game, part of me really likes the gameplay, but the other part hates something about it, and I'm not sure what exactly.

Being a big LOTR fan I will probably get this one regardless.

What does it come out on LIVE?

It's an okay game.  The movements and whatnot feel rather weird, but you get used to it.

THere's four classes, a standard warrior, a standard archer, a stealth guy (can go invisible and when behind oppenent RB to kill), and a mage (seems slightly overpowered, but he is weak- you go for this guy first).  Then theres the Ents and whatnot which actually are used like vehicles.  They feel quite clumsy and they are overpowered.   Wargs and horses are quick transport and aren't something you would really like to fight on.

Overall, it feels okay.  It's not great as its a standard skirmish with some clumsy controls and awkward fighting, but its still pretty fun to hop around in.

wonder why there is no PC demo. Would prevent some illegal downloads (people seeing if the game can run on their system) and probably turn more people onto the game.

I found it very medicore, and its not as open as SW: BF

EDIT: I played the PSN demo

Well i can't even play the game

I have a Sliver account on Xbox LIVE, and even with a 48 hour trial i wont be able to get the demo

AND the demo is NOT on the Playstation Store in the UK

DUMB!

I'm really underwhelmed by it. As a big fan of the Battlefront games, there's something about the controls that doesn't quite feel right to me.

It's fine. Playing as the stealth guy is pretty fun.

what kind of game is this? i will DL it on psn 

It feels really awkward to me.

I played it too much for what that games worth. Its really cool playing as the balrog or gandalf but thats really all thats fun there.

The game feels really broken but has a weird pull to it. The online was fine and had all the things you want(magic, heroes, "vechicles") but the gameplay was just not as cool as i would have hoped.
Im not getting this game.

I think that it is pretty fun, although i've heard and I hope that in the full version of the game, that in online matches the ai will populate the game with real players to make the battle larger scale and more epic. Like they did in the Battlefront series.

Does anyone know when it will be in the european PSN?

It's fun but it's not like SW battlefront where you could run around and get into vehicles.  You can ride a horse but it's slow and your attacks will end up missing anyway.  Who knows if other maps have more to do though, there's only two maps in the demo.

wow this game is garbage.

I just think the attacks need work.  They miss a lot of the time and don't feel responsive.  The weaker attacks should be more instant and should not freeze you in an animation.
