I went out and purchased this game and I must tell you, I am extremely impressed by its polished layout and professionalism. I have not progressed very far, so I can't speak to the later stages, but the early portion of the "good campaign" has pleased me a great deal.

I was kind of sitting at home moping about how HL2's sewer/tunnel levels are just so insipid and how I felt Doom3 was excellent, but repetitive, and I popped this thing in. Well done. Seamless meshing of video clips, audio files, and addictive RTS gaming.

Has anyone else picked this up and has some first impressions? My only complaint is the inability to set up hero moves in advance. In a large battle I don't want to have to look for Aragorn to use Blademaster. I understand there are hotkeys, but, I would prefer if he would automatically use his powers at certain times. Anyone agree/disagree?

Cheers,
Gabs
