The Lord of the Rings: War in the North (Play Station 3, Xbox 360)

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is inspired by events from the famous book trilogy and their retelling in Peter Jackson's films, the game features stunning visuals, brutally realistic combat, a unique and compelling new story, and innovative cooperative gameplay that pits you and your friends against the dark forces of Middle-earth. Players will take control of a hero of the war (Eradan, a Dúnedain ranger, Andriel, an Elf or Farin, a Dwarf), and will be able to play through the game alone or co-operatively with other players. Each character has different classes from one another but each character's class is adaptable. All characters also have light and heavy attacks and can roll, block and counter attack enemies.
