There's also no real strategy or even agency to the combat. The other half of the time they won't stop attacking when you let go of the button. The controls are messy and unresponsive - half of the time your character won't attack when you press the button, or they'll stop attacking mid-combo for absolutely no reason.
Forget the preciousĪctually playing Battle of the Five Armies is even less pleasant. The environment doesn't look any better, either. Honestly it's difficult to tell when a strike even connects. The visuals are awful, with incredibly dull (and repetitive) animations, ridiculously muddy textures, and no real impact to your attacks. To call Battle of the Five Armies a mess would be putting it lightly. That and the persistent scores that let players help decide which army will emerge victorious. Unfortunately the pretty photos are about all this game has going for it. It makes great use of the source imagery from the films and is bound to get first timers excited to dive in. Out of the fires of Mount Doomīattle of the Five Armies has a very pretty main menu and army selection screen. Sure there are some stinkers out there, but there are also some seriously good games like Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.Īnd then a game like The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies - Fight for Middle-earth comes out and makes my job that much harder. Not because I'm naive enough to think that they're all fantastic, but because I believe they deserve a fair shake. I often find myself defending licensed games.
