    Disguisting

    For me ... a definite WoW beater !

    A very short review of LOTRO Graphics: Amazing, even on a low-range computer. The only small point to make is that you should (if you haven't already) try to have at least 1GB of RAM. I ran the game for 2 months on... Read Full Review

    Awesome visuals do Tolkien's world justice and has a solid game to go with it.

    To those who are MMO veterans this game will not offer anything too new or horribly exciting but to new players or casual gamers, this game will suit you just fine. The games focus is on PvE making the time you spend pla... Read Full Review

    Wasn't that great

    After being in beta and such i decided that the game isn't that great. Gameplay: Extremely average and crafting system isn't worth the time or effort Graphics: If your computer can handle it, it can actually be very go... Read Full Review

    It is very polished for even beta, some game play features are annoying.

    The Crafting portion is annoying as you can make Armour but cant figure out how to make boiled leather for binging and leather pads. You wonder around waiting for re spawning resource boulders that you hit away with you... Read Full Review

    Dont see why this is considered to be so awesome...

    Well, I was on EQII when I heard about this game. I got excited at first and sighned up for the closed beta. Luckily I was able to get in with 2 months before launch. After downloading and installing the game, I went rig... Read Full Review

    LOTRO is all it was expected to be and more....It's so polished it feels like its been out for over a year already.

    I had huge expectations for this game. It exceeded them in every way. I've played EQ, EQ2, WOW, Vanguard (ugh..), SWG, EVE and s a few others and no other MMO has felt so polished on release as this one. I've read som... Read Full Review

    Fun quests and backstory it works well with the larger story and still makes you feel like you are making a difference.

    This is an early review I have been playing in the Beta and now 1 day in the release, so this is not a review of the end game content but a review of the game system and the quests in general. I have beta tested for m... Read Full Review

    Boring

    Ive played the beta and didnt like it .. I bought the game , still didnt like it. I simply hate playing as a human looking character and although you can play as a monster its not the same. There is no true evil side ... Read Full Review

    WOW? What is WOW?

    Hello everyone. First to the people that say that this is a WOW rip off. Are you nuts? That is like saying that WOW is an EQ rip off. Get over it. Play the game for a period of time and see what it has to offer. No... Read Full Review
