I really hope that they don't make it all about the blood and gore and figting that was in the video. That's NOT what makes LOTR so cool. Though of course, everybody likes fighting and killing and action, but the movies were so darn sweet because of the fantasy of Middle Earth and the story behind it.

Oh, and I hope it's fun. And not totally stupid.

I love LOTR so much. Probably my favourite movie trilogy of all time. For that reason, it saddens me that there hasn't been any really good RPGs set in the world of LOTR. There have been so many games but none have been that good. Battle for Middle Earth was quite fun, but I feel as if an RPG would do the trilogy much more justice than an RTS.

I never played that whole series of LOTR action/hack n'slash games that came out during the Xbox1 era (most came out for PC too I believe). Are any of those worth going back and playing?
