I'm with Justin on this one. Our group found the awesome artwork to be highly evocative of the setting. With the LOTR soundtrack playing in the background, our sessions usually consist of several attempts to finish the quest (never succeeded when Sauron started at 12...) and we all really got into out characters. Thanks to the movies, we even started talking like the hobbits and Gollum and even like some of the supporting characters! Quite fun when you have characters doing unlikely things.

Probably because my group consists mainly of role-players, we hardly ever noticed the mechanics. As always, YMMV.

Thanks for the great review, Shannon. I always enjoy your insights into game design and the clear overview of things.

Cheers
Nick
