Predict the Review: [Lord of the Rings: Conquest]

Here’s a new special segment I was talking about a few posts ago.

Guide:

* I will take a demo from a game that is not out yet.  I’ll play it, and then look at it as if it were a review.  However, I won’t actually review the game.  Instead, I’ll estimate what the average score on Metacritic will be, as well as the highest and lowest score.

* The scores will receive a 5 point padding zone on either side.  For example: if I estimate a game will get a 75, and it ends up as a 79, it still counts as correct.

* If I get 2 out of the 3 correct, it counts as a win for me.

* You can post your own guesses in comments.  If you win at least two of the three, you will be added to a list/leaderboard.  The person with the highest score at the end of the year will be awarded something that I have yet to figure out.

The Good:

• Fun online battles
• Includes a tutorial
• Acceptable graphics
• Epic score

The Bad:

• Novelty wears off
• Occasionally chunky animations
• Online battles can quickly become one sided
• Only 4 classes and some hero characters

Prediction:

Average: 74

High: 90

Low: 40
