This game is a traditional turn-based RPG. That means you issue commands to your characters and they execute them on their own. If you want hands on action, this is not the game for you (Try "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" instead.)
If you are an RPG fan, this game is a fairly solid in providing exploration, strategic fights, character advancement and loot acquisition. The graphics and effects are good. The game has some interesting systems for upgrading your character's abilities and manages equipment acquisition without resorting to money or stores.
The story is weak, so if that is why you are drawn to RPG's, steer away from this one.
Overall, I'd say it's worth a play if you're both an RPG and Lord of the Rings fan.
