Hmmmmm. Mixed feelings.
Could be a great game(s). But somehow I still feel the whole thing is a bit of a rip off, why try to take such a famous story and put it into something it was never meant to be?
I think I might just settle for the book on it's own. I have my own thoughts (as anyone else does) on what middle earth is like, and can imagine it better than a computer screen could ever show it. I am pretty much happy with it that way, and I'm not sure I want to sacrafice them just to play a game (or to watch a film for that matter). It could do the book justice, but they're going to have to try very hard to keep the richness of the story there, and not cover up short comings with eye candy and the like.
Anyway, we'll see...
PS. Is the picture on the website from the game, or somewhere else.
