| That's geat to see EA broadening thier horizons to include such a huge RPG conducive title. Anyway that's what I suspect the eventual game genre will be- RPG. Imagine that- expansive environments, wizards and elf/hobbits oh my. The plot is there to create an ongoing series, even with the option to supercede or equal the Final Fantasy series. This is a massive license for EA and furthers their future dominance of the RPG scene with the co-operation of Square. All power to them Don't forget the promotion of 'Lord of the Rings' is solely due to Peter Jackson a true New Zealander and I'm hoping this will be described in the game. Whether it be in actual gameplay or in additional bonuses such as bonus footage, pics and other material associated with it New Zealand. Oh yeah I'm not a New Zealander I'm an Australian. |
