"With his far reaching rich hand Sauron might have done great evil in the North. Yet all that has been averted because a handful of heroes stood in his path.”

It's been a very long time since I've played a Lord of the Rings game. Not since at least the movies were originally released. In the War of The North gone are the early protagonists Arigorn, Legolas, and the boisterous Gimli. Though they are in the backgrounds and mentions of the game, there are new warriors and allies that stand at the helm and fight for good.
The story of the War of the North takes place parallel to the stories which were featured in the movies. It comes from various portionss of Tolkien's Lord of The Rings literature and other related sources. The game is a action co-op based rpg where you take the role as one of the three protagonists, a Dunedain, Eradan, who is from an elite race of man, an elf, Andriel, from Rivendale and an agent of Elrond's, and a dwarf, Farin, from the mountain of Erebor. Sauron's grasp reaches all over Middle Earth including the vast lands of the North. He send's his lieutenant, and evil sorcerer, Aggendar, to lay waste to the people that inhabit the north and to seize all of it's lands.
The fights are steep as you'll be engaging in heavy combat. Luckily there's a character building system that will elevate your fighter to the best of their ability. You'll earn powers and moves as you fight through Sauron's horde. If the leveling system is anything like the character leveling system from the other games then Ill be happy. The fight sequences will be brutal just like they were from the movie games. I'm looking forward to playing this game. It looks like there will be a lot of action going on. I love these epic saga games. They really make you want to join in on the fight. Look for this game to be available later this year in November.
