You find yourself in the film again

This is the first Lord of the Rings game, in which you can play right in parallel with the film. Even the first dialogue takes with Aragorn in Bree in the Prancing Pony instead, before the arrival of the Hobbits. Days later you can hear how Aragorn is disrupted by four Hobbits towards Rivendell and the Nasgul Riders have ravaged a hotel room.

Again and again one encounters the original characters, Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf, Elrond, Gloin, Gimli, Arwen, ....

The combat system: Rarely seen such an awesome combat system, you jump through the legs of the Trolls, Blocks blows from, giving way at the right moment of the impact, ... Who has not slept, is struggling with the opponents. No stupid 1,2,3,4,5 unchecking the skills as in WoW!

The plot: It has created a parallel story to the actual HDR story that is matched to the original. Man caught repeatedly with the thought: Ah yes, my current job does exactly between and the scene in the movie / book. For non-HDR fans the action is probably not as exciting. However, one can not interfere with the flow of the game, no matter what one says, it comes to a path. This may be because the main story is indeed already written ^^

The system with the three characters is also made pretty good. I always play the game with my friend and the interaction is great fun. You can always switches through three characters, so you can play new and different skills and strengths again.

The game is generally very simple, to install game in 15 mins and can immediately begin to massacre filthy orcs. The talent system and the attribute point distribution is similar to that of Diablo 2.

-> Highly recommended for professionals Lord of the Rings fans !! One must not spend hours reading in the role play, but you can start immediately and at any time even dive a half an hour after work in the HDR world and reached in time even what it.

-> Recommended for all fantasy fans, because you once again just Schnezteln and fun can have again, for a change of extensive RPGs. Comparable to Diablo2, only in the HDR world and many improvements.

-> If you do not so like Lord of the Rings and totally stands on freedom and on inter alia talent trees, where you can turn the page 10 times, should rather buy another game.

Pros and cons:

+ Fun for HDR fans (especially in co-op mode)
+ Combat system and the use of skills in combat
+ Action parallel to the HDR-story
+ Meeting with orginalen characters Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo ...
+ Behavior of the heroes in the dialog (the dwarf gets nervous at beautiful women and has no good rapport with same except Arwen ^^)
+ Action (for HDR fans)
+ Realistic graphics (when rolling the armor on the site is dirty, fly the heads if you säbelt through the neck, lacerations occur when you hit the enemy, remain arrows stick ...)

+ - Graphics looks good, but is now not the best

- Action (no HDR fans)
- Freedom of action

For me and my buddy the money has definitely paid off. Hours of gehole and gelache!
