Ending/Beginnings/Third Age
Sirindu

Well I am with Bob for the best ending. I absolutely love the ending of ROTK. Awesome. Unbelievable. I don't know what to say, lol. Anyway...

For the best beginning, FOTR ownz all. 'Cept the first scenes of ROTK are a close second. But what compares to the swooping shots of the battle of the Last Alliance?? What compares to the timed percision of the Elven troops' long swords as the lines of orcs rush upon them!??! what does? NOTHIN'~!

As for TTA, I have not had the chance to play it yet, but I expect to get it for Christmas. At least I hope so...

I heard that it is not as long as some might have hoped. It turned out to be more like 40-45 hours long instead of the 50-60. But when has a game company actually told the truth about the length of a game, never that I know of... *cough*cough*fable*cough*andothers*cough*

Aside from the game being 5-10 hours shorter than previously thought, which EVERYONE thinks means the game will STINK... -_- It sounds awesome.

We have here, my friends, a game where you may roam around Middle Earth at will (tho you must unlock all the areas first [and they're "kindof" like levels, but you can go back and play them/explore them]) and fight various monsters, collect weapons and armor and items, lvl up, do sidequests. AND EVEN...... play as the corupt servants of Sauron!

*salivates*

There is also a fascinating little thing where you can combine weapons and make new ones.

Oh and, every time you change armor or accessories, it ALLWAYS affects the appearance of your character on the screen. Not just your stats.

For info about the fighting system, go play FFX.

Can't wait to get this game! - Sirindu
