Lord of the Rings: War in the North Shows Off Human Combat Power

Warner Bros., as the publisher, and Snowblind Studios, as the developer, have released a new video for their mix between action and role playing Lord of the Rings: War in the North, showing off the combat prowess of the human characters.

The trailer is filled with actual in game footage of combat and makes a strong case that any balanced multiplayer cooperative group will need a human for extra hitting power.

War in the North shows a side of the War of the Ring that the movies pretty much ignored and the books only mentioned in passing, meaning that the developers had more freedom in creating enemies, abilities and quests.

Lord of the Rings: War in the North will be launched on November 1 for the PC, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 if you live in North America and on November 25 in Europe.

Unfortunately the game will have to compete with such heavy weights as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3.
