So right off the bat nothing appears misplaced and War in teh North seems to follow all the rules of what a good action/RPG should be. ![]() When a yellow arrow appears over the enemies head you press the triangle key to dismember or behead your foe. When you land a series of blows to the bad guys without getting hit, you then enter "Hero Mode" where your experience as well as damage you dish out multiplies. You can also perform a roll to dodge attacks as well as block. When a character gives you a task and you perform it, you'll be rewarded with a special item or a choice box where you can select one of multiple items.Ĭombat is a mix of ranged and melee attacks where each character can perform one or the other. But from what I've seen so far, the choices have no affect on the overall game. You can go into dialogue with the characters where you're given a choice of questions and responses. This is a game based on the LOTR trilogy and as such you'll be able to speak with or go on quests for the fellowship characters such as Elrond, Aragorn, Frodo, Arwen, Bilbo, Gimli and the rest of the crew as well as new characters not seen in the film. You can visit any blacksmith in the towns who will repair your gear whenever needed, for a fee of course. Also weapons and armor wear over time and have to be repaired once their durability decreases. You can collect loot, which can be found almost anywhere such as in urns, in dirt piles, chests, and of course enemy drops, which consist of not only money but also special items, weapons and armor, which can be worn, given to other characters or sold.

Well the folks at Warner Interactive served the Val-Man up a meal, Lord of the Rings: War in the North for the Playstation 3, that started out so delicious, but… something about this game doesn't taste right. When she looks down she sees that she has bitten into a deep fried rat. When she chomps into the third piece… something isn't right.
