I've never played this game but it sounds good. The other Lord of the Rings are awesome and if this one is like the others I give it
5 stars.

Another LOTR Game with different approach

With the massive conclusion of the mind blowing film trilogy ,and the release of two major games (The return of the king & The Hobbit ) your senses will be full of every thing Tolkien ,And in this swar comes this lovely addition which is looking to prove a sense of being different ,Because this time comes a game which is based directly on the original plot of the books series rather than being based on the movie's adaptation .

The Treason of Isengard takes the lead directly after the events of (The fellowship of The Ring) ,so there is no fellowship here ,and you are dealing with three different stories ,the first one is the lovely heroes (Gimli ,Legolas and Aragorn) where they are preparing for the ultimate battle of Helm's deep ,The second story is a very welcome new addition where you control the Treebeard from the second movie's installment where you attempt to destroy Isengard ,The third story launches with the little Hobbits (Frodo and Sam) along with their hideous companion (Gollum) in their journey into the dark paths of Mordor to destroy the Ring ,the third stories are sequential so you have to complete the first one in order to play the second one...and so on .

There is multiple characters appears during the journeys who helps you and gives some sense of interaction with your playable character ,plus the multiplayer mode where you can cooperate with a friend to complete the game ,the graphics looks lovely and life breathing with very good sense of color and wise using of it ,and another plus that it looks completely different in the design from the other games ,so along with the different plot this should be a very outstanding game upon it's release .

Looked very promising, but unfortunately CANCELLED

Although Amazon still lists this game as having a release date of February 18th, the developers decided to pull the plug on this game in early September, since they felt that it was 'not shaping up to what we want it to be'. Instead of making excuses, perhaps they should've concentrated on making the game better, but they opted to cancel it, most likely based on the poor reviews that the developer's previous game, 'The Fellowship of the Ring" received from critics.

Tragically, this game was shaping up to be quite good, but its status as a cancelled game still remains. Don't be fooled!
