I'm glad they released some media. Now I know I won't be missing much.

I'll wait for EA's "Oblivion-esqe" LOTR game next year.

Some of the design askpects seem nice enough. It looks like it really needs *more* though. More details, a richer world as in more of everything. It seemed a bit sparse.

Also, I would have liked to have seen more of the non-combat areas. Those seem very nice. The combat... Ugh. Seemed almost ameteurish. City of Heroes and Guild Wars seem to have combat pacing set about right. This seemed very slow.

Also... NazgÃƒÂ»l don't say "Bah!" That was horrid.

It really saddens me that LOTR Online got stuck with a not that great developer and also didn't get the movie rights. They missed out on an amazing amount of wonderful art design for the characters, weapons, landscapes, architecture and hell, even some excellent big budget music.

      From the looks of the video the game looks like a World of Warcraft clone with LOTR lore. : tyrelhill
      
      With a dash of EQ2. I looked at this and immediately thought, "More of the same." I hope Age of Conan ... : Carstman
