Moving on past orc blood and limbs, the combat can be personalized depending on the character you pick. This is the presentation Lord of the Rings’ games needed. Wars are violent, especially when a majority of the combat ends up in close quarters with nothing but sharpened steel. Does this sound a bit sadistic? Maybe to some, but this is a WAR.

The combat may become repetitive for some over time, even with the upgrade system (more on that in a bit), but the joy of piling the severed bodies of your foes is something this war has been missing when it visited consoles before. As previously stated, this is a hack ‘n slash game. Shoot on ocr in the face a few times with the ranger’s bow and it’ll take some weight off their shoulders. Strike an enemy with the dwarf’s axe repeatedly and he’s bound to lose a leg, arm or head. War in the North takes your basic hack ‘n slash gameplay and adds the ever-so-satisfying dismemberment aspect to the formula.

While you’ll still see original and recognizable characters, three new heroes make up the tale being told this time around: Eradan, Farin and Andriel. Lord of the Rings: War in the North pulls a majority of the focus from the fellowship we all know well from the books, movies, and other game tie-ins. The best part? It’s made by the same studio that brought us the wonderful titles Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norath.

Now, here we are in the year 2011, and a new Lord of the Rings RPG/hack ‘n slash game has made its way out (coincidentally, LotR will be back in the movie industry as well with The Hobbit releasing next year).

Once the movies came to an end, the games followed suit. What’s that? Aragorn’s Quest you say? Never heard of it.
