    Similar gameplay to the original but with an expanded storyline. Just a lot of fun for LOTR fans everywhere.

    Very solid game play, I always enjoy games where you can level up and customer your player on your own playing style. Definitely worth a buy if you enjoy mid evil type sword games.

    This game is as action packed and deep as the first one. Adding in the actual battles was a great addition.

    It's exactly as they advertised it. It's the first game, but with bigger maps, and a bigger nemesis system.

    The first was better

    This game has moments of greatness, but too many shortfalls. Much of the best gear is locked behind a paid wall. General combat is now pointless as you no longer get XP for it, you can just run and Dodge your way from story point to story point. Generals now have Battle flags which makes them pretty next to impossible to kill. Side missions are totally pointless, your rewards are usually skill points which would be good if most of the skills in the game didn't suck. I really just didn't like the direction this game went.

    Loved the first game. This one has a bigger scale. Army building has to be my favorite addition. Don’t like micro transactions. I would recommend if you really liked the first.

    Lots of enjoyment out of the time I’ve spent so far. Game is worth it if you enjoyed the first. Fast pace you start with the upgrades from last game so you jump right into it.

    Ordering the game was very easy, and receiving it was just as easy (thanks to Best Buy) and now after playing the game and knowing that it arrived right on time and is in great brand new condition I honestly have to say "thats cool." As for the game itself it is just a very joyful kind of play and really lives up to all the great reviews it has out there. Great game overall and really worth every dollar and cent that I had saved up for it.
