Favorite non-Jackson LotR video games

<< < (2/3) > >>

Adamin:
WitN has good atmosphere and certainly tries to be as LotRsy as possible, but unfortunately it wasn't really memorable as itself.

SoM though is a great game imho.  xD
It's like GTA, you can just jump in for a couple minutes, cause some mayhem in Udûn, maybe play a mission, and then pause it again. Since I already tanked some 50 Hours into it (with just one story playthrough and the Bright Lord DLC), I wouldn't say its repetetive in a bad way. ^^
(Also the story actually does make some sense inside LotR lore, but I guess discussing that would need an own topic.)

ThorinsNemesis:
Well I like WITN mainly because it portrayed locations not seen in the movies or we know little about what happens there at the time, like Fornost, Carn Dum, Sarn Ford, and as you mentioned it has a nice atmosphere. Overall, a nice game to play, at least once  ;)
SoM portrays Mordor a little bit after the Hobbit, and I like that, and also the game fits in with the movie lore of the Hobbit movies, because Minas Ithil is not captured by the Nazgul still, and Mordor is not filled with fell creatures at the beginning/prologue; and it portrayed Nurn, a location not seen in the movies. And as mentioned, the gamestyle is great  xD

I've played War in the North only once. Never picked it up again (also, stylistically, it borrows from Jackson's film trilogy, as does, in my opinion Shadows of Mordor, especially regarding Celebrimbor's outfit: though it was nice to hear Jennifer Hale as Galadriel again).

I played LotRO once, but it was years ago and on a very old laptop. Might give it another go, though, and I'm just playing devil's advocate here, I often place that game in the category of "MMORPGs made to cash in on the success of World of Warcraft." Is it good? I haven't put in enough hours to make an informed judgment on it, unfortunately. Probably is.

Adamin:
If it was supposed to be another WoW Clone, it would have added wizards/magicians as playable classes. But it did not. On purpose.  ;)

Linhir:
War in the North wasn't so bad. I enjoyed playing dunedain. And with two other persons it's just great to play at. ^^
