The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Review

Over the past few years, The Lord of the Rings franchise has gone silent. There was a time when the world of Middle Earth was on the forefront of everyone's mind. The film franchise was doing gangbusters in the theaters, and the books were at the top of the bestseller lists. On the gaming front, LOTR was doing pretty well, with a variety of games spanning genres from action to real-time strategy performing quite well. However, once the films had ended, interest slowed to a crawl and the games faded out of memory. Now, it seems that Tolkien's world has gotten some renewed vigor. Peter Jackson's films based on The Hobbit are finally in production, and Warner Bros. Interactive and Snowblind Studios have unleashed a brand new game set alongside the books, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Video Review War in the North is an action-RPG built with a strong focus on co-op. As three warriors placed in a new story set concurrently against the events in the LOTR trilogy, War in the North adds in a brand new plot, as well as an M rating due to some pretty brutal combat. All of the familiar trappings of the action-RPG genre are here, from shops and loot to blacksmiths that repair weakened or busted weaponry; as well as some combo-based sword (and axe) play.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Five years ago, I would have counted Snowblind Studios among my favorite RPG developers. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath demonstrated that Snowblind knew how to combine action, character progression, and loot into an irresistible formula. I still look back at those titles and wish that breed of gameplay had more time in the spotlight. While my love for action/RPGs and respect for the studio got me excited for War in the North, they are also what led to me being incredibly let down by this clumsy and unpolished adventure. If you focus on the individual components, War in the North appears to be a recipe for success. Set in Tolkien's quintessential fantasy universe, this third-person action/RPG puts players in control of a wannabe Fellowship storming through familiar locations and hacking through goblins, orcs, and trolls. Once killed, these creatures drop plenty of loot and award experience that players allocate in skill trees, giving each character an array of unique passive and active abilities. When you consider all of those features plus local and online co-op, War in the North sounds great. The problem is that just having features isn't enough; they need to be well-implemented and fun.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North (Preview)

Can LOTR: War in the North step out of a huge fantasy RPG shadow?It's unfortunate that Lord of the Rings: War in the North is being released during a year when the fantasy RPG void has already been filled with AAA-fare from established game franchises. Even with the Tolkien-approved branding, the game is stuck in the shadows of the enormous fantasy worlds of Dragon Age 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and The Witcher 2.But LOTR's aim is to touch on that thing that's been a glaring omission on the others' back-of-the-box features. A single-player campaign is available in War in the North, but the game is built for co-op. For anyone who spent their teen years half-imagining a friendship with Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn, War in the North takes the group quest-fantasy and gives you up to three-player co-op to fulfil the wish.Snowblind Studios is the little Seattle outfit whose CV includes, most notably, the Baldur's Gate console spin-off Dark Alliance. War in the North is interpreted similarly; a hack and slash title which - in this case - features a three-character collective for you to group alongside and traditional RPG elements of loot gathering and skill tree compulsion.
