I have lotr, tspp and RBION. RBION is very deep, but not to the level of the other two. It is very very hard, though. Spelling R I P L E Y is no easy task. There's some kind of frog frenzy mode, never seen it. I like the game a lot, games tend to be shorter than in tspp and lotr. Setting the outlanes wide really shortens the game.

Surprised people say xmen. It's very linear to me. Start hero, complete hero, move to next hero. Start villain, complete villain, move to next villain. Complete all heroes, start danger room. Complete all villains, start dark Phoenix. I think it has great shot and combo variation, and it's pretty tough, but not a lot of depth. Am I missing something.

Lotr has much more difficult modes, three MBs that are tough to complete, DTR, TABA and Valinor, plus gollum mb, crossing the bridge via balrog, etc

Tspp has an equal amount, if not more than that, way too many things to list.

Even RBION has more than xmen, and it's not linear.

Not sure I agree, I have xmen and TAV along with lotr and tspp and dont find them boring at all. I'm going on two years with TAV and over a year with xm.

RBION is nothing like TAF, I sold TAF after six months, no depth, very repetitive, very limited shots. RBION feels more like TZ to me.
