Screenie:



I'M SUPER PUMPED!

There's several things wrong with this sentence.

That's what I copy/pasted from gametrailers, don't blame me for their crappy writing.

More like lord of the queers : Conquest amiright?

I loved the books as a kid, but all the merchandise that has arisen since the release of the films does Tolkien injustice imo.

BFME was fun. never liked the games based on the movies because they sucked. I agree that Tolkein should be rolling in his grave about how his epic has be squandered BUT... THIS WILL BE SO MUCH FUN!

I'm inclinded to agree with downloaded. Swords and arrows over lazers should be fun. And if it has those giant mumakil in it i'm sold.
STOMPY!!!

Thank you Tut.


JAJAJAJAJAJA STOMPY

What is best in life?
please some one answer this correctly.

STOMPY!

Actually am excited! Only complaints I have is that the arrow animations look stupid and I wish that Olifants were rideable.

If i could I would rent this game, but as I cannot atm. My summary is meh, the olifants were the selling part of this game for me and yes, the arrow animations do indeed look dumb.
Oh and you answered the question wrong.

I loved Battlefront, I'm pretty sure I'll force myself to ignore everything that is wrong with this game and love it too.

Demo is out, anyone wanna play some?

On a scale of 0-10, 10 being a complete battlefront re-skin what does this rank?

It's a terrible wanna-be. I deleted it after trying to get into it for about two hours. Don't download it, sorry for trying get you guys in on it. It's really too bad, it could have been so cool.
