Lord of the rings aragorns quest ps3 iso download

Description: And no! The hero is neither Aragorn, nor Frodo, nor anyone else that we know, he is simply a bugger named Berethor whom neither you nor I have ever heard of. Your mission as the Scout of Gondor is going to be to help the true Fellowship of the Ring basically the non-bumblebee in their quest to cleanse the world of Sauron the Dark Lord. For this various allies will join you like Hadhod the comic dwarf private joke , or Elegost the Ranger, and others thereafter.

Your task will take you to the same places as the community, which are also of impressive fidelity especially Minas Tirith or the mines of Moria. Unfortunately, your momentum takes you past him and you often end up slashing at thin air or trying to turn midcombo, which produces similar results. Meanwhile, the scout is too weak to get involved with melee combat, and his only really useful ability is cloaking.

But relying on this is unrealistic when battles get more hectic, as there are simply too many enemies respawning at too fast a rate. By the time you've backstabbed the stronger enemies in one area, another batch have spawned. This means you'll end up spending virtually all your time as an archer or mage.

The nature of their ranged attacks mean you can stay away from the haphazard melee combat, suddenly making the game less of a furious button-clicking exercise and more of a considered combat game to a small extent, anyway. As the archer, you can zoom in and pick off foes relatively quickly, causing more damage when zoomed than if you aren't Presumably this is to simulate the increased accuracy of your shot when taking 'proper1 aim, although it is just as easy to hit your target when not zoomed in you can fire quicker, too.

You also have a rather nifty kick that gets you out of trouble if enemies come too close. The mage, though, is easily the most tactically diverse of all four classes, having chain lightning, area-of-effect and defensive abilities which can be used in various situations.

As the mage, you're the equivalent of a damage class mixed with a buff character, providing healing and protection from ranged attacks to anyone who sticks close to you. The Al doesn't seem to be able to use the mage properly, though, usually just spamming the energy shield ability rather than using his powerful attacks.

Most importantly, the mage can heal himself, an ability that's vital later on. You can't recover health easily in any of the other classes, so you'll end up running about like a tit in a trance hoping for an Al mage to heal you. This is even more ridiculous when you find yourself in control of one of the hero characters. Later, in the Rise of Sauron campaign an alternative version of the story where Frodo is killed by a Nazgul before he can complete his quest , you can take control of Saruman, Sauron and even the Balrog.

These are tougher than your average generic characters and have slight variations on the usual class skills. The same problems apply, though: you'll still avoid playing Aragorn because you're forced to use melee attacks and can't heal yourself. Comically, it was easier to defeat Elrond and Legolas with an orc mage than it was with Sauron because of his lack of healing abilities. The gameplay itself, with or without the use of heroes, is utterly repetitive and, dare I say it, almost dripping with the noxious juices of consolisation.

Thankfully there aren't any "Press Left Trigger! On the whole, nobody should be finding Conquests control I system difficult to get to grips with and the tutorial does its job well.

I Unfortunately, this ease of use Ebecomes one of the main problems. Because you get to grips with things very early on, you'll find yourself doing the same thing over and over and over again, constantly, throughout the entire game. The very first section defending Helm's Deep is one of its most interesting because it varies the template islightly by having you defend the outer walls of the city against siege ladders and sappers trying to destroy the walls.

From then on, things remain much the same throughout Only the entry of the armies of Rohan provides a break from I the action also the one and only time I found the scout class to be useful. I'll be fair, and say that attempts are sometimes made to add something interesting to f the mix on a couple of occasions you get to ride a horse into battle , but these parts are often easier to complete by, yes, doing the same as you've been doing for the rest of the game.

Being able to play as the likes of Sauron doesn't work with the feel of the books too well, either. Taking control of LOTRs adversary and then being killed by a few elves doesn't feel at all right. Neither does the Balrog turning up in the Shire and being wounded by hobbits. What can also happen is that a random event - such as a giant eagle or bat swooping down over the battlefield - can lead to your hero being carried away and killed instantly, which can be both bemusing and frustrating.

Still, no matter how flawed the game, it's still cool to trudge about the battlefield as the Balrog or incinerate orcs as Gandalf. Despite these bursts of entertainment, there's little to recommend in this game. At first glance the battles feel epic and large in scale, but you'll soon realise that the actual area you'll be fighting in is tiny by comparison. When defending Helm's Deep, you'll see the limitless numbers of orcs stretching away into the distance, but only a handful of these ever come towards you.

While the number of characters on screen at any time can be surprisingly high, without your intervention, very little actually happens. As the game progresses, you'll often find yourself totally ignoring the majority of the enemies and just making a beeline for the objective. If you don't do this, you'll generally get bogged down and bored by the endless repetitive combat.

Despite all this, Conquest does has a curiously addictive quality that will keep you battling on until the end. Perhaps it's just the underlying quality of the Lord of the Rings story that keeps you playing -the ooh, I'm fighting Saruman now!
