    Any interest for the 360 Lord of the Rings Game?

    I've never played any of the games although I hear some of them were pretty good. Anyone here excited or interested in buying the game?

    I got to play the first one over the weekend on the PC. I was impressed. The PC version of this game got a 9.0 on IGN. I'm interested how they pulled it off on a console though, as RTS games have never translated over well. Haven't seen any reviews yet, if anyone gets it, post impressions.

            Gamespot says the demo is coming soon to XBL.

              And IGN seemed to give it a decent score so far. I might scoop it up....eventually. Still trying to get through a season in 2K6.

                I traded in PDZ and Far Cry for it, even had 20 bucks left over after. Don't ask.

                I'll post impressions later.

                  Already have it on PC and can run it at ultra high detail so I'm out for this one.

                  That being said, if the RTS genre works on 360 I'll definately look at C&C3 next year.

                    I didn't think it would be your style, there were no noob launchers in Middle Earth were there?

                      I'm just in the tutorial, but it's a good game so far. The frame rate has some issues here and there, but from what I read of the PC version, it's pretty much the same. The controls... are killer! I mean, they are deep, very deep, but easy to pick up. I'm so impressed by them. The graphics are great. It looks better than part 1 did on my buddy's high end PC, so I'm happy with it. Plus it's a game I can relax to, so I'm on my couch playing it on my HDTV. I don't think it's for everyone, but I wanted a console RTS so bad (My PC could never handle it) and this on fills the need pefectly so far.

                      My advice though, do the tutorial, it's long, but it teaches you all the controls perfectly.

                          I had alot of credit at a Gamestop, my NCAA was preordered-prepaid, so I picked this up. After the tutorial, I kinda like it. Its not for everyone, you have to pay attention in the tutorial for real. But for some reason, it seemed cool, a nice change a pace from my FPS/Football heavy collection. I know nothing about these kinda games, but Im gonna spend some time with this one!

                            Yeah, this game is going to waste away hours like I've never seen. I wasted 2 hours in the tutorial and didn't even realize it.
