My only beef -- it is painfully obvious in these shots that the same mobs are reused as we encountered in Angmar and elsewhere. There is some logic in this (Sauron has a limited stock of minion templates to work with), but seeing a new mob type is so exciting (psychedelic frogs in the Waterworks), I can't help being a little disappointed. But it could be just these screenshots, and Turbine is saving the best for release to have the greatest impact. I am an eternal optimist, after all. The places look great!
