The Lord of the Rings Online Preview

GameZone joins the fray with a hands-on preview of Turbine's The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.
LOTRO is also a pretty beautiful looking MMO, not only in technical prowess, but in art direction as well. The game feels like Tolkien's world in breadth and scope, and feels crafted with a real appreciation for the subject matter. It helps that the character models and environments look very impressive, especially when held up against other MMORPGs on the market.
