Graphics & Sound: Possibly some of the best sound I've ever heard. The voices are great, the music is timeless, and the sound effects are incredible. The graphics are top of the line as well, with some great explosion and fire effects. The frame rate rarely drops and the environments are second to none. 10/10
Gameplay: The game play is great. Many moves can be learned and it's easy to pick up. This is possibly the best hack-n-slash game ever. 10/10
Story & Characters: It's Lord of the Rings. Voted book of the 20th century, second most read book of all time, next to the Bible. It doesn't get any better. 10/10
Pros & Cons: If there are any cons, it's that the game is somewhat short. It'll take you about 10 hours to beat the game the first time through, but after that, you still have to work up all the other (9 total) characters and see everything, so it'll take you about 80 hours to fully unlock the game.
Overall: Best LotR game yet. Buy it.
Rating: 10/10
