LoTR: Wii Edition

I have no problem with getting a younger crowd into the series (Lord knows I loved those books around Junior High) but something about this just rubs me the wrong way. The material just feels too serious for this kind of a makeover, but we'll see how it goes. (Edit - But I guess I felt the same way about Lego Star Wars before that came out and holy hell I love that game)

Although, I'm just glad to see something that I didn't play on my gamecube with new motion controls for once. -.-

Thoughts?

Easy, stop buying the good games of any console you own. That's what you've done with the Wii anyway. I mean, with all the recent (or not so recent) releases and announcements, THIS is the game that makes you go "yay, something not from GameCube" for real? Ignorant at best.

I didn't care for Punch Out, and Madworld was just okay....

....and the games I really enjoyed prior to that was.... Galaxy? No More Heroes?

What am I missing out on? >_>

I'm not even sarcastic; I would really like to know.

How about Anno, Rune Factory Frontier or Little King's Story then? And for upcoming games how about No More Heroes 2, The Crystal Bearers and Monster Hunter 3? There's more than plenty from where these came from. Well, if you just won't "care" for any decent title mentioned, why should I bother? Just give your console to someone who will play its games. You say you enjoyed 2 games. Not really worth keeping it for.

And yeah Linky, I hope Headstrong can make something worthwhile out of this but that depends on if they treat it as "their" game or just a licenced project for some cash like past HVS products...
