The other Lord of the Rings game was cool, but I doubt I'll get this one. Too expensive.

WB announced the game yesterday. It'll only include the first two movies.

That's so stupid... I thought it was dumb to release the first two episodes of The Yoda Chronicles trilogy in a DVD format, when you'd only have to wait a couple of months to have the whole set. This takes it to a whole new level.

It makes a little more sense with the movies being split up again, but still....

Well, I personally think this game will be super-dooper dull. Be better off making it just a DLC level purchasable from Xbox Marketplace or Playstation store, etc.

They should put their efforts towards a DC/Marvel double game.

I don't even know if that would work.

A better DC game would be nice though, but they turn out so many of these I think it's hardly a distraction. I bet that they are waiting for MoS 2 for the next installment there anyway.

What I find strange is that the copyright information in the bottom-right mentions the first and third movies, but not the second- maybe won't include the second movie? :P I'm guessing it'll be out for a November/December release, sometime near the when the third movie comes out anyway.
