Ok, ok, it is no RPG at all, but it is Tolkien, and since we already have put the game in our database, here's the news and a snippeteer: Being an action game, the first thing that strikes you is the action; at times it’s complete carnage as dozens of orcs flood the screen hacking and slashing away, Stormfront Studios have already done a great job of reproducing the fantastic action scenes from the films, and it’s this that grabbed our attention and differentiates it from others in the genre. However it’s not all hack ‘n’ slash, EA are promising a tactical combat system as opposed to the mindless button-bashing usually employed in this type of game. Players will have to manage what type of weapons and special attacks they use, whilst directing their AI controlled allies. Hopefully this will be a significant feature and implemented fluidly, it’s a tricky area that could make or break the game, fingers crossed at this point.
