In my opinion the game RAAAWCKKS !! As an old school gamer I do actually find the game very involving. I look forward to playing it as much as possible. As a self confessed Tolkien head, I find the 'coverage' of Middle Earth nicely done and if they are just papering over parts they aren't allowed to cover then it isnt exactly noticeable. They have filled in some parts not covered in the books but so have others before Turbine and I'll always refer to professor's Tolkien's 'other hands' letter in these cases. But what thy have included works really well. At least they have included my favourite elf which both Peter Jackson and the 1978 cartoon ommitted. I refer off course to Glorfindel ;) I'm looking forward to the rest of this review along with future reviews for this site. Keep them coming.

I love it when people don't state their view as an opinion, but must make everone else out to be wrong. I think the review is very accurate. The game is far from perfect and is in very few ways original. But what it does it does well. Game world "linear"? If you mean you should adventure in level appropriate zones, you're right. Classes are generic? No more so than any other MMO I've played. "Don't waste your time"? No...don't waste YOUR time, Xiara. I'm enjoying the time I spend in Middle Earth very much.

From EQ, DAoC, EQ2 and WOW, I've moved to this and right not it's keeping me very entertained indeed. I am not a Tolkienite at all so come to view this game without any blinding conceptions of the world, but the range of things I am doing at the moment (currently just hit 30) is keeping me involved and wanting to come back. I don't miss WoW at all (I have a very nice level 70 Priest on that game) and do rather like the deeds. There is very little you can actually do quest wise and what can be done I feel has been done. Its great for the more mature gamer, and doesn't focus on the more adolescent "get better kit that the other player". There is active and successful roleplaying on those servers flagged as so and if you turn off the Out Of Character channel, I've found it to be quite a mature and enjoyable virtual world to spend time.

It feels like a single player game that you pay to talk in a chat room with. The world is linear, the classes are generic....don't waste your time. The LOTR name is all the game has going for it....why do you think they offer a $200 subsription for life package? To reel in all the suckers.
