The Best Lord of The Rings Game NOBODY Talks About

[@jasandipsingh235]

I fell in love with The Return of the King game on PS2. That game played a big part on my childhood. I hope they'll bring it back again as a remaster. Goated game!!!

[@gameranxTV]

Return of the King and Two towers both are great games.

[@jasandipsingh235]

Agreed! 🤝 ​@@gameranxTV

[@CF0RD]

I didn't play that but TTT on PS2 was great

[@Alexander-rk4cu]

i remember it aswell, though i played the game on pc, it was pretty freaking great atleast as far as i remember.

[@The_Last_Norman]

I had it for GBA, pretty decent rpg

[@Rowan308]

Crazy timing. Me and my brother just bought this for PS3 and blasted through both of the campaigns in one sitting. Hardest difficulty unlocked, about to go for a second ride. Most fun we've had in a good while.

[@ceycey2648]

these moments is what life is about

[@Bald_Ultramarine]

I got this earlier this year aswell for PS3, enjoyed the singleplayer campaign BUT DAMN, the co op is amazing, played it with my older brother a month or two ago.

[@SkillJoy.]

Does anyone remember LOTR The Third Age? That game was so good

[@CoreyRouse-r3z]

Remember? I still play it😂

[@chrisdavies655]

Yes! This was one of my first PS2 games that I got along with the console. Such a great game

[@ChristopherGun]

goated!

It was like FFX but for LOTR fans like myself

[@fondue4kill]

Absolutely love it.

[@ranc1d_mustard437]

Falcon repeats the exact same phrase between 7:50 and 8:45 when talking about how repetitive the game is lmfao

[@Wonky_irl]

Just about to write the same comment! Feel like he just read that part of the script twice by accident.

[@zombieman3011]

Second take accidentally left in audio. The final editor probably edited with their sound off since it didn't have to line up to anything and missed it. Either that or they're just farming interaction. I suspect they do that a lot cuz Jake pronounces well-known names really weird sometimes.

[@ArkRaptorsNest]

​@@Wonky_irl nah falcon is just a idiot with a mic

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Yes Lord of the rings conquest was my jam!!! It was the LotR version of OG Star Wars Battlefront. The evil campaign was an absolute blast. Still play this on my 360

[@ianfiedler5575]

Dude my whole childhood I played this game on ps3, now I have a series X and can’t play 😢

[@-The-Exotic-Cricket-]

The campaign was so fun!

[@Matt-md5yt]

both campaigns where awesome

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

@@ianfiedler5575 I really wish EA would rerelease this for modern consoles. All they have to do is bump the graphics up and reactivate the online servers. Kind of like what should’ve happened with Star Wars Battlefront classic collection.

[@orlandoolivera186]

I remember playing this game I loved it , it was just like battle front

[@paranoidpagan5243]

Lord Of the Rings War In The North is my personal favorite. Have a lot of memories playing that game with my grandpa.

"War in the North" and "The Third Age" Are my favorite Lord of the Rings.

👍🏼

[@iambear.6526]

War in the North is still amazing. Though it is breaking as time goes on. Me and my friends play it at least once a year.

So much potential. Never got the attention it deserves.

LOTR Conquest is surprisingly addicting. I had a lot of fun using Aragorn and Frodo. Plus the maps were beautiful. another underrated Tolkien game is The Hobbit 2003. Now that one is my favorite

[@gameranxTV]

👆

[@connorpeppermint8635]

2003 hobbit still holds up btw

[@Steel-101]

@@rileywatts3067 You had problems with the loading screens? They were pretty quick on my old PC. Even on my 2013 laptop 💻. As for the trolls and spiders. The Troll stealth part wasn’t bad but yeah Mirkwood was awful. Those annoying green poison spiders were the worst. That’s the only level I hate. Plus it was very easy to miss some secret stuff

[@Crazyskulldude]

I still have my LOTR Conquest disc. It’s beaten to all hell but I still got it. Playing as Sauron during the evil campaign was an amazing experience the first time.

[@teddytheelf]

Conquest is so underrated! But War in the North will always be my favorite LotR game, it’s the perfect balance of inserting a new story into existing canon and doing it in a compelling and interesting way. Maybe you guys could do a series for underrated LotR games? (Or you could actually probably do a whole list video of underrated LotR games, there are enough of them 😂)

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼 Will do. Thanks for your suggestion.

[@Zech455]

This game is so underrated it's criminal, you could play as so many things including the Balrog. No other LOTR game had me this addicted.

[@AxeAfrika242]

LoTR Conquest was GOATED! Grew up with it next to Battle for Middle Earth... Oh the god old days 😍

[@GhostOfTheFire]

My cousin got me into LotR through conquest on Xbox. Battle for middle earth I couldn’t find on PS3, so I got conquest for myself and it was one of the biggest games me and my siblings played together

[@bennylafell7481]

Man i remember playing this as an elementary school age kid over at some friends house back before I had my own console. This vid brought back so many forgotten memories and forgotten nostolgia. What an out of the blue surprise from gameranx, love this channel.

My brothers and I played this game religiously when we were younger! Such a fun game...

[@ShadierFaun-rs4zn]

I loved this game so much. My cousin and I played this game for hours. Thank you for bringing back thousands of memories. If it ever got a remaster I would pay full price.

[@SHADOWEDINSHRED]

I was literally just thinking of this game tonight and saw this pop up in my recommended. This game was my entire life for the summer before my sophomore year in High School and I loved it so much. I spent countless hours grinding away with the warrior in multiplayer servers. It was so addicting to me. I was a huge LOTR fan but I also just loved the simplicity of the game. I miss all of the late nights playing with random people, fighting with clans and exploiting glitches that would allow you to see hidden parts of the map.

[@Thrundar]

I think war in the north is also very overlooked, has good gameplay

[@Horizon-17]

Me and my brother used to play this on Xbox 360 It was one of the first games I ever played and it has a very special place in my heart

[@joelma1109]

This game was awesome. Hardest level is during the battle of Gondor, those freaking uruk hai and their shields made it hard as hell to beat

I loved the heck out of The Return of the King on PC, the skill expression of the combos, the flashiness of it, the early attempt to blend between cinematic and gameplay, the charm of it. Still one of my favorites to this day!

[@deadmanthehekatonkheire994]

The Forces of Evil were easily the best side when palying multiplayer because of the Oliphaunts. The forces of Good had an answer for everything -- horses for wargs, Ents for trolls, eagles for fell beasts -- everything except Oliphaunts. Though unpolished and unbalanced, it was a fun game.

We used to go to Internet-Cafes after school during middle school, and I had most fun memories with this game, really nostalgic. "Load Pellenor fields, I am picking Legolas.", "Great, I am picking a larger than mountain Mumakil."

When I was in 4th grade, I slept over at my best buddys house, and we played 2 games on his Xbox, left4dead and LotR Conquest. We played the campaign until sunrise. It was my first all nighter, and my last memory of the guy befor his family moved to the city's. I'll never forget it. Thanks for the video.

this was one of the first games i remember actually playing competitive online on the PS3. Everyday after school for months me and my brother would play online taking turns, such good "battlefront" vibes. Though I think the 3rd age is still my favourite lotr game. this vid brought back some good memories, thanks falcon!

Third Age has always held my heart, first game I got on the GameCube, and something about it just never let me go. Played it endlessly on a loop for weeks.

[@Mamelakis]

I remember when I was playing this game when it was released. Boy, I feel the nostalgia.... even today every now and then I play this game just the campaign. Really loved this game indeed, I wish more people knew about it and make a remaster version of it!

[@antonacity8276]

Dude, this game is peak for me, I remember staying up all night with my two brothers and our brother from another mother. The classic 4 player couch split-screen team, literally turning the tide of the war of the ring, on legendary difficulty. We demolished, and we replayed so many times. This game was so fun, and I have such fond memories. Wish we would get a re-release. I would duo with my brother, he a warrior, me a scout. He would distract the enemy while I would assassinate.

[@captainfach]

This was my first Lord of the Rings game and I absolutely loved it as somebody who was obsessed with battlefront. We need more games like this where are they

[@TheRealSkywalker11]

So glad you guys covered this one. Sure it coulda been better, but my brothers and friends had a blast with this playing split screen

[@RyGuyTravels]

Love that you guys made a video about this. Childhood classic for me. Fantastic game!

[@jorick1984]

What a great pick for a video! I remember playing this game in coop with a friend. Both nuts about Middle-Earth. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!

Being able to play as the Balrog in the moria map or even Sauron himself in certain maps was wicked cool.

[@wesley00321]

You guys just proved my memory correct, I had a memory of playing a LotR battlefront game couch coop with a sibling and could not for the life of me remember the game name. It was so much fun. Core memory unlocked

[@unbenchthekench29]

I’ve been trying to remember this game FOR YEARS, I played this game so damn much growing up and could never remember what it was called, THANK YOU lol

[@ACE-777.]

This was my favorite game for years. I played a demo and fell in love right away, and bought the full game. The multiple players with unlocking the heroes felt amazing, huge wars, split screen co op for the whole story and just vs modes, I think imma play this with my brother tonight now thinking about it!!!

[@sporactic2908]

My cousin and I used to play this game religiously back in the day. It's such a great time, I loved the coop story modes

[@isaacwest276]

I had two cousins come over and play four-player splitscreen games all of the time. So Halo and CoD and the OG Battlefronts were all common choices, and Lord of the Rings was commonly one of our go-tos. We loved that game, where us four could play in big multiplayer battles without going online and I am stoked you're talking about it. We need more 4-players splitscreen competitive games on Xbox. Right now the only "new AAA games" that do that in Halo. Gears did but unfortunately I'm the only one who likes to play it. I'd say Shadow of Mordor/War are the best LotR games, but Conquest will always hold a greater place in my heart.

[@According_to_Jack]

Stayed at my mum and dads the night before my weeding last month and found my old ps3 and this game, played it for a while game still holds up and was so nostalgic

[@nabilandre]

Really loved this back in the day, was shocked at how so few people played it. I was real sad when the servers shut down for good. Picked the game up at a sale at a games store, good times. The awesome score and the maps were awesome gotta say that i miss these kind of games.

[@co-ray3844]

Yesssss I still have the physical copy of this game. I love this game so much as a huge fan of the movies already. Another thing I was hoping you would have mentioned was the bugs in this game. I'm not sure if others experienced the same thing I have but one bug I found was during an Instant Action game mode like Capture the Ring, when you get to play as Sauron you can be backstabbed. Now in the training I played as a scout and I couldn't backstab Sauron at all. Another bug was if you killed a scout while they backstab a teammate then you die as well. Really hated that bug when I was playing as a hero character.

[@sybersentinel8951]

My brother and I were big fans of dynasty warriors and the classic star wars battlefront games. We enjoyed playing this game a lot!! We weren't able to play it online though, that would've been fun.

[@ravenant]

There are people working on a sort of mod / remake of it that could end up turning into a sequel. They have a Discord but are laying low for now because they have already had legal encounters with Warner Bros, but at the same time will try to pitch it to them when the time comes to make it an official release.

[@pabul929]

This game was amazing. We had so much fun playing the campaign and online modes locally between just ourselves

[@gamingreese8844]

War In the North was a more forgotten game, and it was one of my favorites. Because my brother and I played the heck out of it!!!

Conquest was literally my childhood favorite game I loved it cuz I was into lord of the rings and it was so much fun in multiplayer and campaign that I got to play through with my little brother

[@charcharbinksyt2588]

Played about 100 hours of this game on my cousins old Xbox 360 at my grandparents old house. I still wonder what happened to it, it's been so long. LOTR: Conquest was so awesome. The mage and archer mechanics and abilities were so sick.

I was playing the shit out of this game when it came out...And couldn't believe none of my friends knew about it even though we played battlefront together...The fact that you had control of trolls and ents with the mage and scout mechanics...so good, the Evil campaign with the alternate history was fascinating to me

[@megamaggotmrh9085]

I'm actually playing it right now. I plugged my 360 in the other day just to look through the store and see if I missed anything in the past 10 years. Decided about 3 hours ago that I'm playing through both campaigns again on LotR Conquest. It's so fun and still holds up like every other game from Pandemic. The evil campaign being not only an alternate ending to Return of the King, but also a continuation is amazing.

[@bloodheal7]

Conquest is a very popular game. I regularly talk about it with my brother and friends. Definitely not forgotten

[@zacheryricks8263]

I LOVED this game! I had it on PC, and it had access to all the maps. I also, never, played online. That was mostly because I wasn't an online player. Everything I played, I played solo. I lost the disk around the time I was a senior in high school, but man I would still be playing it if I could. Probably because I'm a die hard fan of LOTR.

Sir, the PS3 store is still in fact operational. Granted it doesn't operate super well, but I bought a game on there a few weeks ago.

[@Meb2x]

When I first bought my 360, I bought two used games at a local store, Prince of Persia and Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Needless to say, I mostly played Conquest and I still absolutely love it. It’s so much fun and the villain campaign is incredible. It’ll never happen, but I’d go crazy if they announced a remaster/remake

[@VoiceoftheRings]

Hey I love all these games. Also as a Tolkien and gaming channel. I loved this Game! Conquest was awesome! I might bring it up and play it on the channel sometime. Thanks for making a video about it! I feel like all of EA's Lotr games got crushed when they stopped making or supporting them and then lost rights to them. like Battle for middle Earth too and all the other ones.
