I was very much looking forward to this game... A Lord of the Rings game based on the Battlefront engine seemed like an ingenious idea. However, the reviews so far have been awful... :cry:

It is absolutely crap. I played the demo at a friends, we uninstalled it after a mere hour it is that bad. Archers and mages can just run backwards and shoot you, the warrior's scripted attacks are too slow and scripted to be of much use except against another warrior. Arrows shoot like bullets, and mages, don't get me started on the mages. I'm glad I tried the demo knowing it would be crap and yet another 'game' using a ripped off and mutilated version of movie lotr "lore". I pity all the fools looking forward to this game.

I played the demo on the 360 with some kids. Kids seem to like it. I'm not really impressed with it or the AI in it. I'll give it props for being team-based, class-based conquest, but it feels like a HL2 mod (except 3rd person) with really good graphics. But the orcs AI and animation is kind of 'meh'.

there's one word for this level of horribleness in a video game: it relates to a male cow's poop
