This game sucks. There is no sense of continuity, the levels are just random places where you do random stuff to fight some stupid forces of evil. Even as a LOTR fan, I have no clue what is going on here besides mindless button mashing to kill enemies.

There are like 4 classes to choose from, but the only good ones are archer and mage. The other 2 suck.

You will CONSTANTLY get hit by enemies and knocked down, losing control of your character. So the smallest hit from the weakest enemy sets of a chain reaction where you ultimately die. Frustrating!

Every so often you will get to play as a "hero", one of the good famous guys from the story like Aragon or Gandalf. There is nothing special about them other then their name.

For some reason, the cut scenes between levels have a stupid transparent overlay of a map over them. Making it hard to see anything the cut-scene is trying to see. Why? STUPID.

Avoid.

This is my first reviews so bear with me.

I was so excited about this title that I re-did my Que so I would get it when it released. Boy was I ever disappointed. The graphics are ok (probably not the best for a 360 title), the music and sound were all ok. Why I did I give it a low rating? Game play, at least the first part of the game, totally turned me off. The standard classes all seem bland and lack any real power, with maybe the warrior, at least I could take on multiple enemies and really felt like I was in thick of things. The one hero I did play in the training session seemed equally bland. This game is probably best played in a multi-player forum, unfortunately I just don't want to hook up my ethernet/pay for access, to a game that was very interesting to me. On a final I guess if they were going to make it like battlegrounds they should have made it like battlegrounds, and not some weird hybrid, action RPG/strategy game.

Where do i start timed missions are really out dated... protecting stuff for 4 minutes everything you do with 10 of your guys against 250 baddies.. when you get knocked down forget about trying to get up.. the camera doesnt stay in the battle... your magic doesnt work when you need it to... do not rent save the 5 days of getting it an sending the piece of dump back... I do not recommend this game even to my worst enemy... good luck to all who plays this..
