Initial thoughts: feels scripted although it is probably due to the faithful adaptation of the books; beautiful to look at; too many miniatures that look similar and often don't fit on the game board; not seeing the strategic depth, more tactical in nature, especially with the amount of dice, long set up time, fiddly.

Decent game but surprisingly poor components. A whole bunch of cheaply produced and badly sculpted plastic figures that are also awkward to use and hard to distinguish. And the board must be one of the least attractive depictions of middle earth I've seen.
