That is not a very flattering shot of the reverend designer himself, antiquated water heater a fixture as it is of what appears to be a run-down old apartment...
Hum, why aren't I feeling excited about this...?? Oh yeah, maybe because it's spamming TV and because it's a sports game that will be on the used games shelf for $0.99 by next October...
Well, brand saturation of LotR games is CERTAINLY an issue, and something to avoid, since the various others are largely disappointing and are about as wearyingly-contrived as Guild Wars games. I REALLY hope something fresh comes along, but I am slightly more interested in having a more open LotR universe and less a tiresome revisiting of each and every movie or even book sequence. Too often in these games there is fatal limitation to what WAS written and not what HAS YET TO BE WRITTEN or that which may be derived from what was alluded to. Guaranteed, Middle Earth and Ea are MUCH larger than what can be crammed into a handful of arguably canonical books.
