Being a huge LOTR fan I played this over the weekend for the PS3 and have been totally addicted to it. Is it perfect? Not even close! For starters it makes a pretty bad first impression, the opening prologue/prelude battle really sucks, all you do is run around and swing your sword, you don't have all of the other abillities or weapons that you will pick up over the course of the game or at least if you do have them you don't know how to use them yet, the hit detection also seems off during this battle. The whole time I was thinking to myself I am really glad I only rented this. I'm playing the game with the dual shock not move and the controll set up is a little overly complicated and not ideal so it took me a little time to get use to them, there are also some sound issues at times with your footsteps sounding weird and I have noticed some screen tearing however despite all of this I pushed through the opening battle and I am glad I did because I have been having a blast with it ever since.
