Not your typical Lord of the Rings characters that you would be expecting to see. But having characters not associated with the movies gives you a chance to look at the same battles from the movies from the eyes of someone else. It still has some of your Lord of the Rings epic battles and it's a Turn Base RPG…. You have to love those!!..... The fighting starts off pretty quickly and it comes often as you move your characters from town to town and village to village. There aren't enough easy battles to help you build up your characters, so it kind of always seems that you are really fighting for your life. Some of the Lord of the Rings originals makes appearances to help you fight in some of the boss battles or very very large battles. They do not have many moves but they are very powerful. You will definitely recognize some of the battles and a lot of the enemy characters. The use of magic spells, brute force, and items are all meshed well together. One problem that I had with the game was that when some of the other characters joined your team I thought it was a little late because you really aren't given a chance to really build them up. So they are pretty much worthless in many of the large battles towards the end of the game because they are significantly weaker than your main 3 characters….. Other than that it was a great fun game that should not be missed.
