The game includes support for cooperative gameplay, but this review covers the singleplayer experience of the campaign. However, War in the North simply provides a cast of generic characters and a story that never lives up to the franchise's name. The books and movies were quite successful for the fact of bringing readers and viewers into the experience alongside the characters. Even if the title includes Lord of the Rings and is set in Middle Earth, the game simply doesn't offer a compelling depiction of Tolkien's universe. Even with the story taking place in one of most lore-filled fantasy worlds, the story behind War in the North is uninspired and doesn't bring anything new to the franchise. The adventure to defeat Agandaƻr is a linear experience with little deviation from the main path. References to the actual fellowship and its cast of iconic characters like Frodo and Aragorn make brief appearances in hub cities between levels. Some of those locations include familiar sights, such as Bree and Rivendell, and new areas including Mirkwood and the Ettenmoors. Players will travel to various locations in search of Sauron's servant and leader of his forces in the north known as Agandaƻr. This fellowship contains the likes of a dwarf champion, elf mage, and human ranger whom together battle waves of goblins, orcs, trolls, and other sorts of brutal creatures. Instead, this story focuses on the journey of another fellowship that battles the forces of Sauron in the northern part of Middle Earth. War in the North offers players a different perspective to the story of the Fellowship's battle against the Dark Lord Sauron and Frodo's journey to Mordor. Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a traditional action RPG with an emphasis on leveling and loot gathering set in the world of Middle Earth. Interactive Entertainment and Snowblind Studios seemed to have thought differently and decided the world needed yet another game dedicated to the written works of Tolkien. It has been quite awhile since the last release of a game based on the Lord of the Rings franchise and to most that wasn't a problem.
