Any thoughts on Lord of the Rings, War in the North

I finally made it past the 2 troll battle at the inner door. My party members could not keep the attention of one troll for anything. Somehow after 20 tries I got both trolls down. I still don't know how, mostly luck with lots of potion consumption.

Kept on and finished the game. I liked this game alot. Really great story, very fun combat, hard battles, awesome attention to detail graphic-wise. The only thing missing was the ability to choose the skills and equipment of your party. Once I figured out to just ignore that aspect, the game was much more fun.

I played single player on Xbox and the game was flawless for me.

Good news! Turns out co-op mode is NOT broken, at least, I don't think it is.

The game does clearly state that player 2's progress will not be saved, but the game still does save. My dad and I just tested it and it works perfectly. Weird.

So yeah, I retract my statement saying that I wouldn't recommend this for couch co-op on the 360. I definitely WOULD recommend it, highly!

Oh man, that battle was hell. I honestly thought we would not be able to do it. The worst part was trying to keep the troll's attention and you have those damn duel-wielding dudes coming at you at the same time. I hate those guys. They shrug off your attacks and immediately hit you consecutively and you can't move.

Somehow we did it though. Not sure how. Luckily I was able to kill one troll down the steps and my dad was able to kill the other near the door. Crazy battle.

Then what comes immediately after that was no walk in the park either. We got lucky and the game glitched and did not spawn the additional lackeys that can't be killed . We got pretty lucky there.

Great game but damn, some of it is brutal.

FYI its on sale on GMG for $5 until monday,see pricewatch thread

You can now get this free if you have playstation plus account (15 months 49€).

I didnt expect anything from this freebie, but then I played it for 4 hours until 1 am. Its a bit like dragon age. Theres plenty of loot and visuals are good.
