The Lord of the Rings Online Review

WorthPlaying has dished up a review of The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, giving Turbine’s Middle-earth MMORPG an overall score of 9.6/10.

With a great launch and exciting features planned for the near and distant futures, Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is certainly the MMORPG of the year so far. Turbine has come out on top once again and proved that if “Lord of the Rings” could be turned into a successful MMORPG, they would be the ones to do it. That they did. Probably the biggest question about LotRO is, “Does LotRO have the potential to surpass World of Warcraft?” The answer is yes. Not only does LotRO take place in the world that created the fantasy theme, but the title is far more polished and ahead of any MMORPG during its release. Only a short time afterwards, Turbine is already releasing a large content update to prove that they are taking things seriously. LotRO is worth a try for anyone who is fans of Lord of the Rings or MMORPGs in general, and it would be your loss to not give it a whirl. In my opinion, Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is certainly, one of the best games to hit the shelves this year.
