The Lord of the Rings Online Review

The MMO Gamer brings us their review of The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, giving Turbine’s MMORPG an overall score of 4.5/5.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar doesn’t do a whole lot that’s new, but it does a lot of old very, very well.

It has taken and refined some of the most entertaining and addictive elements of MMOs of the past, and masterfully blended them into the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien (or, at least, the portions of it that Saul Zaentz has the rights to).

When all is said and done, I can summarize this entire review with a single sentence:

(If you like WoW, and you like Lord of the Rings. that’s pretty much it.)
