The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest Preview
It will not take long for Warner Bros. Interactive announced Game its first stamped The Lord of the Rings, now that the publisher has picked up the license (formerly owned by Electronic Arts). With Quest Aragorn, we are invited to relive the great moments of the trilogy in an action game, which we've tried the Wii version.
This story begins when peace returned to Middle Earth. Aragorn is now King of Gondor, while Samsagace Gamegie became mayor of Hobbiton. The young hobbits, eager to epics like all children, want to learn more about the king. IT told them its epic, a handy way to revive players with the deeds which led the simple prowler Grand became the sovereign Elessar.
With such a starting point, get ready to walk the familiar places. Were cited: the forest of Fangorn, the Abyss Helm. In short, emblematic places of the work of Tolkien (13 chapters in all). For our part, the level at which we played took place in the mines of Moria, where passage is worship. Accompanied by the rest of the Brotherhood of the Ring, led by artificial intelligence, Aragorn had to clear a path facing goblins and giant spiders. The combat system is very simple: the Wiimote is the sword, then you just have to split the air to see our heroes strike their enemies. It is also used to cover if you prefer to shoot archery, history of getting rid of the threat while remaining respectful distance. As for the Nunchuck, it serves to handle the subject held in his left hand as a shield or a torch for example, in addition to managing the movement through the stick.
Of course, the possibilities do not stop there. By eliminating his opponents, Aragorn has a gauge of energy, which allows it to unleash a few strokes of the finest special effect. Throughout the game, he can also afford better equipment with accumulated gold. And other actors in all this? Well, much to our regret, characters like Gimli and Legolas are not playable, even if they are present on the screen. However, a second player can join the game at any time by embodying Gandalf! The cooperative mode is fairly well seen, and can feel another gameplay focuses on magic. Care, shockwave devastating rain of ice ... The sorcerer can do to give their heart to help the group progress. This has the effect of renewing the meritorious action. Finally, we found the presence of a few puzzles. Nothing very complicated, but these steps add a hint of reflection between two divisions of goblins. In the end, Aragorn is seeking a title to watch closely for all fans of Lord of the Rings
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest Preview
The PlayStation 3 version is a direct port of the Wii version, to its visual effects - and that's a major shortcoming. While Aragorn Quest sits comfortably as one of the best Wii titles, the upconversion of the images with the standards HD PS3 does a disservice to the game. In other words, what is good for the Wii is essentially bad for the PS3. These characters are lifeless and blocks in the higher definition, and what is worse is the display screen suffers from unacceptable tearing around the place.
