LOTRO has taken all that's good about WoW, given it years of polish and lathered it all up in a back-story that I actually give a damn about.
The second is at GamerNode with an overall score of 8.8/10:
...Lord of the Rings Online is the most fun I've ever had playing an MMO at launch. The world is beautiful, there's actually a story which people will remember and look forward to reading via quests, and the obvious Lord of the Rings tie-ins bring a plethora of "I remember that guy!" moments. If you've been looking for another MMO to play after Burning Crusade, pick up Lord of the Rings Online. Will it finally be the game that takes away Blizzard's monopoly on the MMO genre? I can only hope so. If you're a gamer, you'd do well hoping so, too. Either way, we're in for a tremendous year for MMO titles. So far, we're off to a fantastic start.
And the third is at Game Chronicles with an overall score of 9.0/10:
...all of the old stuff MMO players are used to, such as auction houses, group questing, assisting other players and the basics of combat itself, is implemented with ease of use and unobtrusiveness in mind. The whole package promises to be an enduring good value, and doubly so for fans of Tolkien's creations. Like the book it was based on, The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar is poised to become an enduring classic in its own right.
