After finishing the main story, I have to say that every Lord of the Rings fan should play this game. The plot gets pretty good (although the first half is a little slow) and it adds some nice background details about Sauron and the ring. The graphics are beautiful (though it requires a beefy PC), the combat is fast and fluid, and of course the Nemesis system that everyone is talking about is not only innovative, but fun. I do wish that I saw some hobbits along the way though, but at least we got a dwarf! :)
