Lord of the Rings: Conquest (PS3)

The player takes the role of a soldier of Rohan, Gondor, Rivendell, Harad, Mordor or Isengard, depending on the campaign or side the player chooses. The game is generally objective based, requiring the player to defeat a certain number of enemies, or hold a position until a timer runs out. If a soldier dies, the game continues from the point of death and the death has no impact on the storyline or flow of the game. However, players have a certain number of lives and must repeat the entire level if their lives run out.

In the War of the Ring campaign, containing eight levels, the player loosely follows the major battles of the films with some additions such as the Mines of Moria and Minas Morgul. In the Rise of Sauron campaign, the player controls the forces of Sauron in a reworking of the storyline set over seven levels of a film called The final war for Middle Earth.^[7] In this story, the Dark Lord reclaims the ring which Frodo Baggins is corrupted by and fails to destroy. The hobbit is then killed by the Witchking of Angmar, leading to Sauron subsequently conquering Middle Earth.^[6] Both campaigns are narrated by Hugo Weaving, who played Elrond in Peter Jackson's film trilogy.
