In addition, the environments, although (somewhat) accurate to their source material, use different shades of grey and brown and it really makes the world feel dull. This creates some pretty awkward and embarassing moments when you start slashing vigorously at a friendly unit. Usually, when playing, youll have a hard time creating a distinction between the characters who are on your team and the ones who are the enemies.
The graphics in Lord of the Rings: Conquest are really disappointing. For the most part, EA did a good job at maintaining the story from the novels but there are a few minor nit picks that fans will be able to point out as they play (such as the usage of magic and so forth) but on a whole the game is very competent in its deliverance of the story. Sure, its nothing amazing, but the storyline was basically written back when the first novel was written so you cant really complain. Whats perhaps the biggest selling point of Lord of the Rings: Conquest to fans is that it offers a second storyline, which takes place in an alternate universe in which Frodo failed to destroy the ring and Sauron decided to fight back. The first many should be familiar with, and follows the storyline of the movies (that is, Frodo Baggins must destroy the “One Ring” in order to save his world from the evil Sauron).
Lord of the Rings: Conquest is split into two story lines. Lord of the Rings: Conquest on the Nintendo DS introduces some interesting ideas to the Lord of the Rings mythos, but its terribly simplified and doesnt quite hold a candle to any of the other incarnations available on other platforms. However, for most gamers who have a general idea of what games are about, it means we often get very disappointed when a game developed primarily for consoles is released for the Nintendo DS, sporting less features or even feeling less “complete” than the console versions. The beauty of the Nintendo DS is that the development costs are particularly low for the console and the games produced usually sell quite well, regardless of the content.
