So far my feelings are the artwork looks more colorful, im not a fan of the placement of the lcd. Im bummed that smaug is now having more interaction taken from him(no tail diverter, only turns halfway now and no sign of the rest of his body). Everything is starting to look like an afterthought ergo, the book lcd, the pop bumper toppers, the full smaug, the apron rumored to be interactive. Im afraid having the designer leave has really hurt this game. I'm not knocking JJP since you can't please everyone it's just I'd be lying if said I wasn't disappointed in what has been shown.
