So I gave LORD OF THE RINGS: CONQUEST A Second Chance in 2022...

If you love Star Wars: Battlefront then there's a pretty good chance you will love Lord Of The Rings: Conquest. Continuing our deep dive of Lord Of The Rings, I had a large selection of games to return to and I couldn't resist the temptation of a middle school classic for me. Countless hours in multiplayer was spent here, but has it all aged well? I gave it a second chance to find out.

I remember renting this from Family Video and being so happy to find it was just Star Wars Battlefront but in Lord of the Rings

Also rented it from a family video same story. Hilarious to see that your the first comment

I literally had the exact same experience. I don't think I ever bought it because I had to be more selective about what games I bought in high school, but I loved it. Felt like it probably could've been a bit more refined, but I had a ton of fun with it and rented it multiple times for days and days at multiple points. RIP Family Video. They've almost entirely disappeared where I live when a ton of stores closed down and their buildings rented out by Dollar General stores. I rented something, whether a movie or a game. from the FV right on the corner of my house around least twice a month for years. I that's how I decided what games I wanted. I tried whatever I was interested in, and then if I loved it, I'd actually go out to buy it at some point. My mom started working there as a side job, and she got to see newer movies for free the weekend before street launch for home release. If I used her account for something, I'd even get the discount (or it might have been family discount). Sadly they all closed in my area, but they sold all of their stock for dirt cheap, so some friends went over and bought a bunch of Blu-rays and games for no more than $15 bucks. I bought at least a half dozen movies and just as many Nintendo Switch games for $12. A part of me wishes that physical movie and game rental stores make a comeback in popularity.v

This game was dope. I feel like maybe it could've been a bit more refined in some areas, but I love the premise. The Battlefront model is a great framework that would work well with a ton of different fictional universes (Game of Thrones and Dune would be cool). It's funny, because I remember at the height of when I played Battlefront 2 thinking that it would be awesome to see this but LOTR. I don't think it's quite as good as Battlefront 2, but this is a super underrated game, and it's apparently getting remastered (unlike Battlefront 2 for some reason).
