One observation I have made about LOTR is that there is a lot of stopping and starting and waiting for bits of animation and sound bites. The first time I played it was at a noisy show where I couldn't hear it and I remember thinking to myself "this is a pain, gimeee the ball back why dont you?".
I have since played quite a few times in quieter locations and it doesn't seem a problem. In fact if your a fan of the theme I imagine it will be a positive.
Spider man just hit the right spot right from the first ball.
All great games though. I would like any of them.
