    They seem to have missed a creative mind behind this project, who would design a more enjoyable gameplay, keep the story more coherent and make the game three times as long as it turned of to be.

    Very good game it was for this year. Lot of fun from killing orcs and specific feeling playing it some kind of danger in the air. itsVery good game it was for this year. Lot of fun from killing orcs and specific feeling playing it some kind of danger in the air. its completely different game compared to EA Lotr Trotk (adventure) and its based on book not movie.
