I liked SW Battlefront, though I am not sure if it will be as interesting to be in the battles in M-E (as that's now what M-E is about, in contrary to SW, where the battles really mean a lot). Is it done according to the movies? Or is it independant from the movies? (If it is the first case, with all what I read about it till now from the first post, I call it a blasphemy of the worst caliber and I am going to burn the CDs with that game whenever I find them

Related to it, I hope,
TM, that the possibility of playing "a mage", as you said, meant just the possibility to play Gandalf... and not some mage like a regular unit alongside the common soldier, the archer etc.

That would be really bad...)
