The Lord of the Rings Online

Another game populated by the same crowd of mostly immature, unsociable, addicted to MMORPG kids. Nothing new in my view

What can I say... The same old formula, the same crowd, the same time-wasting activities and race to level. On it's own I guess the game is OK, but I don't see it breaking any records. The same old come here, go there, take this do that.

I didn't like the controls, the GUI, the graphics, the repetitive music and sound, the game play, the community or the theme!

I'm sure Lord of the Ring fanatics will adore the game, I didn't find anything I've not seen on at least half a dozen other (BETTER) online games. Thank goodness for the free preview!

Of all the MMORPG games I've played, I would go back to Dark Age of Camelot... because the crowd that plays this crap is the same one that plays WoW. No thanks, I'll pass. I actually HAVE a life.
