This is my opening impressions on the game. Wait hold on a second!
+Goes off and comes back dressed like an assassin from AC+
Ok, now that this is all set up, yeah. Even from the few hours I've played of it so far, my first thoughts is kinda disapinting, so far. And I think most of the game, is just AC with the lord of the rings name slapped on it. I love AC don't get me wrong, and this type of play is fun, just hit me the wrong way to start out with. See how things change as I play more of the game itself. The voice acting is spot on though, but there's no real depth in different things to plunge my sword into. Orcs...more uruks, and more of them.
Getting killed feels like horrid back tracking though, for the chain of command that grows with the Orc that killed you, so you have to run around and hunt him down. The move on anything isn't as fluid as AC as well, which made me scratch my head. But I'am having some fun with it.

Sounds like I made the right choice holding back from buying it. I was interested, but reserved, maybe I'll wait till it hits a steam sale.

OP
Its set between the hobbit and the first book, really just the name and the setting is all the LoTr your going to get out of it. Gollum does make a cameo in it. But it just doesn't "FEEL" like a LoTr game, oh well. Just going to truck through the games main story, and see how it turns up.
