Looking forward to checking it out.

On sale at Gamefly for $10 this weekend.

I'm pleasantly surprised how fun the game is, despite its flaws.  It's one thing to pay $40-$50 for this with high expectations, and completely different when you buy it for $10 and don't expect much.

I would be all over a sequel that simply improved upon and corrected its flaws, and opened things up a bit. 

I'm partial to LOTR games, but find most of them to be of high quality and worthwhile, this is no execption, and I even put down Diablo III for it (it is a nice break from D3).

Got home from work, played for maybe 20 min's, servers went down...again

Other than that, was fine, not sure I like how your character only moves at one speed the whole time (unless I'm missing something) but am thankful Stamina is no longer part of the equation.
