If you like the story out of the book and/or the movie, you'll like probably also like the the game. I can't say much about this because it's up the gamer: he/she likes it or not. I think the ending is great. Nothing to scoff at.

Very nice: very detailed, smooth framerate and this with about 30 creatures on your screen! The characters up close look a little funny though.

The best of the best. Orks, Uruk Kais and other creatures screaming, deing, running around, smashing their swords against yours. Partners of your fellowship screaming for help or to be calm (steady) with the most bieautiful orchestral background music ever! With very nice voice-acting of the original cast! And all in surround!

Hack & Slash, and that is, like in the prequel a good choise made by the fantastic crew of EA. The game may be short but you'll play more than 10 hours or even more than 20! It's addictive and a chalange for most of the people. Tha't makes the game also repetitive, but not frustrating. I played a mission, for example, more than 20 times and still I didn't get sick of it.
More exciting is the co-op mode, what is indispensable. With this mode, you and your friend have more 'controle' over the fight: ''you go after the orks, i'll take care of those huge (cave-) trols''.
