Lord of the Rings: War in the North for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

War in the North brings us back to the good old days of playing Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for the PlayStation 2. The team based strategy of different classes and skill oriented characters and the skill leveling capabilities gives old and new team based RPG players a good feel for the genre. You can play as three different classes of heroes on four different difficulties. Each character has a max level of 40 which allows all three different classes to reach their fullest potential. One flaw of the game is the jump in and jump out co-op mode. If you have a hero to level 20 and your friend jumps in with you he will start at 1 and will ultimately die instantly. It is better to start the story from the beginning when having a new player join the game. Overall this game is well made, easy to use, gives you a good feel for team based RPG and above all very fun and addictive.
