All in all, LotRO is a fine product, unmarred by the bugs and glitches that gamers have come to associate with MMO launches. It's a solid and even polished game, and while it's quite possible the small world and limited scope of the quests won't give it much staying power, the strength of Tolkien's world should keep a steady stream of players coming in, to at least spend four months or so enjoying this version of Middle Earth. Then again, Turbine is famous for adding new content on a monthly basis, so the game might grow longer legs than it has now. In any event, a gamer won't begrudge the monthly fee, at least until he's seen quite a bit of what Turbine has to offer.
While the other is at Game Vortex with an overall score of 90%:
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar doesn't completely reinvent the genre, though it delivers an experience that is accessible and extremely enjoyable. If you are looking to jump into an MMO, Lord of the Rings Online is a great choice.
