Quoted from rai:IMO this game will not be a huge seller, I didn't find gameplay all that fun. I'm sure some will love it to death and some will dislike it a lot (like WoZ).
The people that dislike WOZ a lot didn't play it that much. There is so much to that game that I don't see how any pin-head could dislike it. Even if you do hate the theme. I think that Hobbit will be good too, but no way it outsells LOTR purely because of the price.
