Known facts: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is an action-RPG set in Talkie’s fantasy universe focusing on the exploits of three heroes and unusual events and some new environments, which of course does not save links of various kinds to people, places and situations in the novels of British writer recounted. New facts: at a recent press event during which we could sample more closely co-op to three, the boys of the development team told us that the formula of the game is very "hardcore", levels of Demon's Souls, and that another of its strengths is that it is able to put on a looting fever comparable to Diablo.

Unlike our first test of the cooperative game , which took place at the last GDC in San Francisco, where we could control only the wanderer Eradan and venture on a snowy slope of Mount Gonad bad, this time we also dressed the role of the elf and riel nana Farin, with which we went through a cave and invaded by spiders in Mark wood, a forest near the Grey Mountains, as well as go to make a detour in the ice, pushing us back in the homeland of the up to explore the strongholds that lie in depth.

The game is structured in a very intuitive, with characters who share the same general patterns of action: ranged attacks (bow Eradan, crossbow for Farin, magic and riel), two types of melee chainable together, parade and avoidance. Similarly, all the characters with each trigger of the Xbox 360 controller then gives access to a new layer of possibilities: the one left holding the standard keys used to activate special techniques from the distance, while using the right make themselves available for melee attacks uncommon and certain specific abilities of each character.
