    It looks pretty neat, and Target is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale all week. So I thought I would get Uncharted 3, and maybe this, and then something free... maybe? Anyone seen a review or anything else?

    The lack of any pre-release reviews, etc. makes me very nervous about this release. Decided to hold off on the Steam pre-order pending the reviews.

    The stuff shown at E3 looked really good, but yeah, going to wait a while with this one.

    From what I've seen I'd put it in the same category as Dead Island. Probably fun to play if you have some friends to play with but if you're going solo it probably gets pretty repetitive and boring awfully quick.

    I played 30 minutes of it on onlive, so far it plays a lot like DA2.

    Although DA2 is not a masterpiece, thats a pretty decent comparison. I hope that this game is good, the lotro universe seems great.. the games just not so much (though I didn't mind some of the movie tie-ins when I was younger.)

    It is getting 7.0 (or it's equivalent) from most review sites.

    Metacritic says so.

    Should be fun :D

    I'm getting the thought this is like an 8/10 game overal, but a potential 9/10 for fans of the genre/license.
     
    I'm picking it up when its a bit cheaper, still so many other titles to buy!
