Guardians of Middle Earth
SCORE: 40
Lord of the Rings is one of those masterful franchises that millions love. It shows the littlest guy can be the hero. It teaches that heart really matters. I had to check out Guardians of Middle Earth. Man I wish I had not done that. Please, please, please learn from me. Avoid this game like intelligent people avoid redefining things like marriage.
Guardians of Middle Earth is an online only game. Which means lag, dropped games, and long wait times are generally part of the experience. In fact that was the majority of my experience with this online only game. I have the best online service in my area and it was still horrible to play Guardians of Middle Earth. I have no problems with other online games, but Guardians of Middle Earth is nasty.
Guardians of Middle Earth strongly recommends players start with a tutorial. This helps understand how to control this awkward violent game. Then you can get into a five player on five player violent fest of boring action. Or you can join four other players and take on five computer controlled characters.
Half of the characters in Guardians of Middle Earth are good guys, and half of them are evil. Which means you can play evil characters. I know absolutely no one who wants to do that. Who wants to fantasize about being evil? That is just disgusting to even think about.
The controls in Guardians of Middle Earth are confusing, annoying, and odd. Guardians of Middle Earth may be one of the clunkiest games I have played in my life. The small words on the screen make this game even more difficult. This can be after waiting half an hour or more to get into a game.
I may have
played worse games than Guardians of Middle Earth in my lifetime, but
very few. We talk about how difficult it can be spiritually to play some
games. Guardians of Middle Earth is a game that is not only spiritually
draining, but also mechanically. Save yourself some time, money, and
tons of stress - avoid Guardians of Middle Earth. I never ever want to
see this game again.
