Lord of the Rings: Conquest Demo Now Available

Ever since our in-depth preview that included some hands-on time by Mike, our hopes have been high for Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Even though Pandemic apparently removed two players from the four-player co-op campaign, Pandemic's last two battlefield-style outings -- Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront II) -- allowed enough AI on the playing field at one time that players could band together and play multiplayer matches as co-op partners. Conquest looks like it will be no different: the Live page for the game indicates that up to four players can play splitscreen.

The game officially ships January 13th, but until then a multiplayer demo is available right now on Xbox Live. Although the demo does not showcase the co-op campaign (doh!), at least you can swing your sword a few times and see what the fuss is about before laying down your hard-earned money.

It's already in my queue. Gotta love the new XBLM web interface!

UPDATE: Apparently, the demo was released over a week ago on the Playstation Network as well.

Looks interesting, going give it a try. But I don't expect much.

i had low expectations, and it shattered those so fast! The multiplayer gameplay is insanely fun and at first it seemed unbalanced until i got the hang of some key abilities for certain classes (warrior vs archer is detrimental for warrior unless you understand how to use them correctly)

Do we really have to register on EA to play this demo online?

Yea you have to register to play on the EA servers apparently but it takes only a quick second to get it over with.

When you register, the "username" field automatically parses the e-mail address associated with your Live account, so all you do is type in a password twice, and it's over.
