Pandemic’s Lord of the Rings game is “Battlefront with orcs”

By Patrick Garratt

First bits on Pandemic’s Lord of the Rings game are starting to filter through.

Apparently it’s similar in gameplay to Star Wars Battlefront, with a bent towards multiplayer. It was described to us as “Battlefront with orcs.”

People in the US are starting to see it now, but we’ve still no word on whether or not it’s actually any good.

The project was first announced in February.

Likelihood of EA making a song and dance about this at E3: high.
