There even seems to be some unique eco systems within the mine itself, which are separate from one another. It would be an impossible task almost to take this dungeon of legend and give it physical form, but they have done it. If you remove everything else the new expansion pack does, it's still worth the price of admission based on this alone. My guess is that players will be happily delving into Middle Earth for years to come. Just now, we can go a little bit deeper.
Then there's GameZone with a score of 9.0/10:
The Mines of Moria expansion is a great reason to play LotRO more so if you are a Tolkien fan. Sure, there have been other expansions for existing MMOs that have gotten a lot of hype, but Mines of Moria certainly has to rank up there with the best MMO expansions of 2008.
And Play.tm with a score of 86%:
I suspect the vast majority of hardened MMO players will be really surprised by this game and rightly so. Its a breath of fresh air in a cluttered market. Will it cause me to jump ship from World of Warcraft? Maybe not quite, but that's because I'd argue that it's difficult to compare the two. Certainly they're technically the same genre, but it would be like comparing Duke Nukem to Half-Life. Same concept, but one does it so much more intelligently with a much more detailed story. Ultimately, it all depends on your mood at the time and what you fancy playing. It would certainly be a tough call if I had to decide on only one. However, maybe my initial plan to spend the Winter in Northrend was a tad hasty, Middle-Earth has a certain something about it that I like...
