Great improvement over the Two Towers. The addition of Gandalf's and Frodo and Sam's storylines are most welcome, as is the introduction of two-player mode. Pretty much everything is improved, from the graphics to the gameplay to the voices.

Gameplay - 7, still hack-and-slash, but new features make it a lot more fun.

Characters - 9, Lord of the Rings characters.
Fun - 8, very fun Lord of the Rings game, although a bit short.
Overall - 7.7
