War in the North is a classic video game full of total awesomeness. I've heard the game is glitchy, but playing on my Xbox 360, I haven't experienced anything too game stopping.
The characters are awesome, and the fighting system is so addicting. The world is cool, and while it isn't so sandbox as, say, Skyrim, it's kinda a refreshing game to play, focused and easy to follow.
The locations are super fun to explore, and many of the adversaries are fun to combat. As you play this game, you'll find yourself creating ties to some of Middle earth's most legendary heroes, and exploring some of Middle earth's most awesome locations.
I love this game and return often!
