Sometimes you have to work alongside other players to complete tasks and professions too. Play as a Human, Dwarf, Elf, or Hobbit as you pick a class and work your way up the ranks, travelling through a massive expanse killing enemies and doing deeds. It’s not just Helm’s Deep or Rohan we’re talking places that feature in the books and as they are described in Tolkien’s masterpiece. The results are in, though it might not surprise many of you that The Lord Of The Rings Online is the best Lord of the Rings game of all time!įor those of you don’t know, this is an MMO set in Tolkien’s legendary world. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The graphics, the storyline, the gameplay, the controls, the weapons… it’s all perfect and a credit to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. That would be like if Hop from Pokemon Sword/Shield followed you through every Pokemon game! The Nemesis system also moves onto people that you meet along the way that aren’t enemies too.Īnd what’s more, you can transfer your top Nemesis and top Follower from Shadow of Mordor into the game.īecause everyone wants the unbeatable character that ticked them off from the last game doing the same in the sequel.
Once again, the proceduraly generated enemy system makes Orcs come back at you if you defeat them.Ĭhop off a limb of a goblin, and you’ll recognise it as it comes back at you later for another piece of the pie, hoping to be promoted up the ranks. It builds upon the success of Shadow of Mordor and enhances all the features that we know and love from that game, including the Nemesis system. Middle Earth: Shadow Of War – Definitive Edition could well be the best Lord of the Rings console video game in existence. Middle Earth: Shadow Of War – Definitive Edition (2017) Just kill bad guys and make sure Frodo has an easier time getting to Mount Doom, alright? 3. War in the North is also a linear quest… see what I’m saying? In all honesty though, Tolkien’s work isn’t an open world title it’s a linear quest that we follow from start to finish. Still, some of you might be wondering how a non-open world LotR game made it this far down the list. It wouldn’t be a LotR game without some sick special attacks and evil snarling enemies from the bowls of Mordor. Instead, you play as a team of fighters working to keep Sauron’s forces from advancing down from the North. You can’t take any of the fellowship into battle, but you can fight alongside them which is pretty exciting. It could almost be a lost novel of sorts, intertwining with the main storyline smoothly. War of the North is one of those games that compliments Tolkien’s existing work perfectly.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS WAR IN THE NORTH WON T START PS3
Our 4th-place Lorien Leaf medal goes to Lord Of The Rings: War In The North, one of the best PS3 RPG games of all time! Lord Of The Rings: War In The North (2011) I could go on, but I figure you get how good it is already! 4. If you thought the generated A.I speech in Skyrim was impressive, then get a load of this.Įnemies remember your attacks, and the ones you’ve killed come back to try and attack you in a similar that you defeated them.Įnemies that beat you also end up being promoted up through the ranks of the Sauron’s armies, so they become harder bosses and still remember your move patterns etc from before.Īnother cool feature is having the ability to control the minds of some enemies, having them destroy their factions from within.
The best thing about this game and the title in the 2nd spot in this list is the incredible Nemesis system. Players take a dead soldier called Talion who has been possessed by a wraith on a revenge mission through Mordor. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor takes place between the Hobbit and the LotR, and it has a story that could definitely slot into Tolkien’s Unfinished Tales very easily. I reckon I’d rather have a Balrog of Morgoth on my side than be against one, wouldn’t you? 5. you can choose to fight under Sauron’s banner and destroy Middle Earth if you want, or you can save it. One of the things I love the most about this game is that you don’t have to play for the side of the good either. There’s plenty of orcs to kill, even after Legolas and Gimli’s competition.
Plus, you get to take part in some of the epic battles from the books/films too. They do follow in their footsteps, however, sorting out all the enemies and cleaning up the mess that Gandalf and co leave behind. Like Number 3 a little further down, players don’t play alongside the Fellowship. Still, an RPG set in Tolkien’s world will always… always beat them hands down. RPGs like Final Fantasy and the best Tales games are always good fun and boast exciting worlds.
That’s why I slapped it right at the top of my best GameCube RPGs article. The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is further proof that my favourite film franchise is actually a documentary and not fantasy.
