It's got a big name license, but does it have the gameplay to back it up?

IGN has updated their site with a look at the recently released Lord of the Rings Online. Keep reading to see what they think.

The team at Turbine has obviously read and re-read all the books until they were a pulpy mess. The books, that is. From the first moment you enter the beginner's instances at the start of the game, you'll feel like you're visiting a very special place in Tolkien's imagination. Walking through Hobbiton for the very first time, spying a hobbit hole nestled in the side of a hill with its cute round door, you can't help but grin. Entering the bustling environment of the Prancing Pony, complete with drinkers and bards, only to find Strider skulking away in a back room, is another moment where you'll be transported away from your dreary existence and into the quest to destroy the One Ring.
