Summary
Second W&W-title, but not much new here.
The Good
The most positive aspect about the whole game is the challenge. Completing the game is far from easy, since each level exists out of an item you must find to appease the animal kings and find the spell to defeat the elementals.
Finding the hidden Sindarin treasures are one of the factors that improve the diversity a little bit. Also, the graphics have been seriously improved, and they make the world of Sindarin much more 'real'.
The Bad
From the very first level you get confronted with one of the minor aspects of the game: the gameplay. Defending or fighting seems almost impossible, and the only way to advance is to receive the blows monsters are dealing. With a limited number of lives, the game won't last too long in the hands of an unexperienced gamer.
One last observation would be that the package and the game don't correspond at all. In fact, both have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
The Bottom Line
Personally, I wasn't much of a fan of the first W&W, but this one was really a sad sight to see. The repulsive gameplay still hasn't improved, and, sadly enough, not many new elements have been added when you compare it with the first one. Not the best thing out there.
