Lego Lord of the Rings

Anyone else looking forward to playing this? Open-world Middle Earth with actors' voices - it sounds like it's the next step from the excellent Batman 2.

btw, I don't know how many discs are affected, but there might be a recall for the 360 version. I'll update when my Amazon order arrives later tonight if this is the case.*

*EDIT: my order from Amazon is the full game - no problems.

Well, I'm not far in the game, but the beginning levels aren't impressing me as much as I had hoped. The level design is pretty straightforward and bland, and so far it's simply following the first movie in a linear fashion. All the dialog is straight from the movies, although they changed some of the visuals a bit to include the Lego humor when they can.

However, once I arrived in Bree, I noticed side quests opening up. I did the first quest, and the game started to feel better. I'm hoping the game improves from here. I loved previous Lego games, especially Batmans 1 & 2, and Pirates of the Caribbean. But so far the beginning of Lego LOTR wasn't hitting me the same way as those games.

Fingers crossed it picks up.
