I rented this game yesterday and it is a pretty good action game. You could call it an rpg but it is mostly just pure fighting (which is pretty cool). I hope i'm not the only one who feels that action games are better than rpgs. Whats the point of buying a game if you have to lvl up to kill foes? It is like LOTR:Return of the King except it is with barbarians instead of orcs. Also you can fight from horseback on some levels. Any action fan should buy or at least try this game. However, if you already own LOTR:Return of King (like me) then i would just rent it or borrow it from a friend. I give it an 8.5-10.
