Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Goes Co-Op

IGN Xbox is reporting that Electronic Arts has announced that their turn-based RPG Lord of the Rings: The Third Age will allow for cooperative play. Good news! Here's how it will work:
To keep the feature in line with the story, and to keep it from being intrusive, EA LA has incorporated an easy to use switch in the options menu that allow players to easily switch back and forth between one and two users. Once activated, player one will gain control of Barethor, Elegost, and Morwen, while Player Two nabs the rights to Idrial, Hadhod, and Ioden.
