The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Review: Part Two

The MMO Gamer has posted the second part of their review of the recently released Lord of the Rings Online.

At the time I was seriously considering knocking points off of the score, as I could see the quality of the game dropping precipitously with no recovery in sight. But, as Part One was meant to be a review of levels 1-25, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I felt that I had to leave the rating untouched.

LotRO Reviewed at Slashdot - Ten Ton Hammer

Slashed and dotted, but in the end, a ringer!

Slashdot put the screws to Lord of the Rings Online, and in the end gave the game a lofty (for /.) score of 4 out of 5.

This game is above average, and excels in the genre it supports. A classic for the genre, likely to be a part of a genre fan's collection, and well worth a look for every gamer.

Five outta five!

LotRO scores its first perfect rating (that I've heard of) in the latest review at KillerBetties.com.

If you're a LOTR fan, you'll probably fall head over heels for LOTRO. If you want a new MMORPG, LOTRO does enough new things to break the monotony up of a grind fest to gain a few levels, and is a good alternative (and to me, superior) to games like World of Warcraft.

It's got a big name license, but does it have the gameplay to back it up?

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Final Hands-On: The First Week

Gamespot has posted this look at the first week of Lord of the Rings Online.

The action starts from the moment you begin. The elven starting area introduced us to the basics of online role-playing gameplay while surrounding us with intense battle. A chain of quests introduces you to combat as well as to minor Middle-earth characters, and we had a chance to use our starting abilities against some goblins. You can strike opponents with standard attacks, as well as use special abilities that can deal out more damage.

A Look at Middle-earth

YouGamers has posted a review of the newly released Lord of the Rings Online. Keep reading to see what their thoughts are.

To avoid being burned at the stake for heresy by the true fans, Turbine had to do some careful tweaking and re-branding of the normal fantasy MMO formula due to the established canon - magic is rare in Middle-Earth, so there are no mages tossing fireballs or priests healing wounds. In fact, LOTRO ditches the whole cycle of dying and resurrecting over and over again. Instead of hit points characters have morale - run out of morale, and you are "defeated" and flee from the fight.
