You're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, so you can experience even more of the epic fantasy world. Now, you can journey to Middle-Earth and engage in epic battles with your favorite Tolkien heroes and villains in Guardians of Middle-Earth.Enter a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) set in Middle-Earth, and learn to master the abilities of over 20 guardians from the J.R.R.

Use the included Season Pass code to receive the new Survival mode and map, plus unlock eight new playable characters, including Bilbo, Bert the Troll, Barrow-wight Lord, Snaga and four new guardians which will be released in conjunction with the upcoming film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Recruit the help of your friends as you compete in five-versus-five battles for up to 10 players online.

So, as always, the Lord of the Rings is the same ol story. But, it is always fun to play a part of the movie you did not see. This is def a game you should try.

I didn't realize this when I bought it, but it's a digital download game. I'm one of those people who prefers an actual disk, so I just traded it in.
