This is the finest and final installement for the LOTR trilogy. there is not much of a difference in the controls and attack combos. the campaign is set little differently. You get to choose from The path of a Hobbit, Path of a Wizard, and the path of a king. in order to finish the path of a king, you must finsih the othere paths first. all the levels are intense and exciting. Like the other reviews said, "If you'd just bought this game and haven't yet got a chance to see the movie, I recommend you watch the movie before your spoil it for yourself. there is one new feature to this game. finally they added Co-op mode, A great way to debate on with Fellowship character you want to pick and work together to beat this game. All the Sp mission is reletavely the same as Solo missions. Plus the Extras are exactly alike as the first game LOTR: TT. You should get this great, its pretty awesome.
