wow........talk about weird......

So? Somebody reimagined the Lord of the Rings universe. I think it's creative and might be a fresh look at the series.

I know.......I plan to get it, I was just shocked that someone could actually think up something like this.....

I'm confused, what is weird about it?

I am skeptical about this line;

full control of the blade, bow, and magic to fight its epic battles any way they want--even if they choose to play from the evil side."

I hope they can deliver, but I would not be surprised if the fail miserably. Of the games I have played, Mount&Blade is the only one that actually allows me PROPER control, with Oblivion in second but still some distance. Combo-moves are NOT acceptable.

EDIT: If I remember correctly, I wasn't impressed by Battlefront at all. There was very little strategy and realism. (Even if it's fantasy or scifi you can still have realism).

Hmmm. Could be worth a look.

They pretty much did the same thing with warhammer 40,000.

BTW.........you use a lot of elipsisses in your posts.........!!?!?.............:)

Seems interesting, if only because you can play as some of the big impressive beasties.

yeah, so far, it looks pretty awesome......as long as they DON'T mess it up.

arg, I can't tell which of these posts are sarcasm

Why do you put more than three? It defeats the purpose.

wow..............I don't really know or care. besides, the game looks really cool!

From an interview with IGNorant.com, this game sounds like it's going to be another crappy dynasty warriors like game >_<

Wow, EA's really milking the LotR franchise.

It could be interesting since it's LotR. Hopefully it doesn't turn out crap.
