i as a real LOTR fan i truely, utterly HATED this game. my god its got NOTHING to do with the original story, remember aragon was in helms deep wih his king of gondor armor and army of the dead on his side? thought so. the graphics look like a 6 year old ps2 game, the classes all have a stunning 3 moves! 3 moves.. thats all. donkey kong on the SNES has more moves then these guys. and probably the most annoying of all.. if you die you have to start a level ALL OVER,no checkpoints or anything no, hear the same annoying narrator guy screaming the same line over and over again. agh i just lack the vocabulary to describe how much this game sucks.
and if you think well.. but it has large scale battles they are cool! no..no they are not the orcs just come in waves of 20 and are all exacly the same.. Remember that point where the mouth of sauron was a mage and has a staff just like saruman's ? neither do i.

conclusion: please just please (i cant stress it enough) do not buy this, you will regret it.
