My first post in a while... I just picked up this game a few days ago and it's pretty fun. Graphics aren't the best around but it looks good on my PS3 connected via HDMI to my LCD Television. My only complaints on it so far, and mind you I've only had it a couple of days, is that I wish you could be the heroes more often in the War of the Ring mode. And if you die with your hero, you go back to being a standard class fighter (archer, mage, etc.) I'd much prefer being the heroes over the nobodies thoughout the majority of the battles. Granted I haven't tried playing online yet, hopefully you can pick a hero and stay with that character as long as you wish.
The levels are cool and pretty true to the lay of the land of the LOTR films. Some parts I felt were a little weak in terms of the story line, such as the Mines of Moria for example. The Barlog comes back to life after he's already been killed by Gandalf, soldiers of Gondor fight inside of Moria... little things like this that aren't true to the story make me say "eeeh"
Other than that so far I think its a fun game overall.
I'm definately interested to hear some opinions on those of you who have this game... likes, dislikes, etc...
