Overall the game was a lot of fun. It could have been longer because it seemed like we were just getting into the game and next thing you know it was over. The graphics are not the best but it is not terrible. Good game for the individual who is not too into fighting games because the controls are easy and the fighting is not constant.

I don't often review but saw that this game had particularly low scores and felt it undeserved. Its a great game to play with friends as I did. I cannot speak for those who will play it alone but it was a lot of fun, fighting exploring, looting and leveling up with friends. It was action packed, nice to look at and finally a great overall experience. Only disappointing aspect was the glitches and that can be avoided by saving and saving often.

If you are looking for a fun game to play with a friend this is a great pick. I have heard and seen reviews that this game is full of glitches...which I didn't see once through the whole game. For the price you would pay for it today and if you are a fan of the Lord of RIngs.....it is definitely worth it.

I bought this game to play with my wife on PS3. The game started out fine and we began to really like it. As we continued to progress through the maps, the game began to show its true colors: lots and lots of glitches! We kept getting stuck in parts of the map and the only way to move "forward" is to restart the whole campaign from level 1 and hope that it doesn't happen again. BUT, the glitches NEVER go away! It is a decently enjoyable game, but the glitches have rendered it un-playable. We feel like the developers have rushed through the whole game and released an untested piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! I want my money back!

Considering how much I've enjoyed games by Snowblind in the past, I was really looking forward to this one. It's got great graphics, gameplay, and storyline but the game is simply way too short. It can be completed in a handful of hours, provided you don't have to restart due to bugs, of which there are many. I had to re-start my co-op game twice because of glitches that wouldn't allow me and my wife to go to the next section of the game. Snowblind has definitely gone downhill!

Not only does this game have a bland story and extremely boring gameplay, but there are so many glitches and bugs that prevent you from even completing the game and the only "fix" they've really come up with us to tell you to start over. I got almost all the way through the game--many hours of playing--and it will not let me progress any more. Look it up the glitches online if you don't believe me, there's plenty of people who have gone through the same stuff as me. There's a reason it fell so fast from $60 to $20, but even at that price, don't waste your money.
