"That all means Middle-Earth has an incredible memory. It knows that characters make up a great story, and rather than inundate the player with scripted development through endless cut-scenes, the narrative all plays out right there during the game and is specifically tailored to you. It won't matter if you're a Tolkien fan who has spent countless hours poring over the details of hobbits, elves, orcs and men, or just a gamer bored with beat-'em-up gaming's lack of consequences: Middle-Earth's blend of action-adventure and creative RPG elements make it the most exciting release so far this year.
