The game starts of OK and manages to reach pretty good. In simpler forms it has a dull and slow start but once you learn how to level up, customise e.t.c the game becomes a pretty enjoyable experience. With new character, a new storyline its a definite must have for LOTR fans and is definately worth a look for RPG fans. Although its pretty linear, its still a fun, solid RPG which takes a new spin on the typical LOTR games and with a cool Evil mode which allows you to play as minions of Sauron and Saruman and unlocks new equipment for your main game and the inclusion of this mode keeps you playing even if your growing bored with the main quest.
A must have for LOTR fans a definately worth a look if your the slighest bit interested.
