Umm.... so... yeah.... of all the characters in the Fellowship, Aragorn probably has the best story to devote a game to, but this is going to be just terrible.  The graphics don't look good enough to measure up to the films (the Army of the Dead looks like it's made up of 10 ghosts) and the cartoony style makes it look very unserious.  Also, a shield?  Aragorn NEVER used a shield anywhere in the movies.
 
BTW, anyone else laugh hysterically when they saw how they realized Gimli in this?  He looks like he's had his legs shortened, but the rest of him is the same size as everyone else.

Sounds like a DSi Ware description. Should have just faded the dudes voice out and replaced it with Jeff :P
 
And this game looks so horrible it's crazy.

Some of the most epic battles in the history of cinema have been reduced to 20 vs. 20 skirmishes.

I like that how the story is delivered explains the more childish artstyle, but this game doesn't look so swell.

Why would they make the game for kids? It is the people in their 20's and 30's who appreciate the books and films, not children.
