The reviews for all three platforms are favorable, and there seems to be little difference between versions. The biggest complaint is that the game is too short.

Can you pick which character you want to play as ?
How are the graphics ?

I would think the picture on the cover of the game would answer your question as to which characters you can play as, (and it is spelled out in english on the back, if you can't figure it out from the cover). Also, the pretty pictures on the box should give you some idea of what the graphics look like.

one major complaint is that there is no 2 player support, in a game like this.....its pretty weird u cant get to beat the game with a friend, overall good game though

I bought the game during lunch and it's in my car now (I'm a work)
I did see on the back that you could play as the 3 characters but it doesn't say if you can choose who you want to be or not.
Why do you bother responding ?

This is coming solely from memory, Struz, so some of this may be inaccurate. Anyway, here we go:
You can choose to play as either Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli at the beginning of each level. There is also a hidden character who can be unlocked.
The graphics are, in my opinion, excellent. The character models and environments are gorgeous.
I'm fairly sure there are different difficulty options.
Hope that helps out, Struz.

Your post title is a statement, so I was expecting to read some insights and opinions on this game. Why do you buy games you know nothing about, then expect other people to tell you all about them? And you couldn't search for reviews yourself?
Have a nice day.
Edit:
But please forgive me; I quit smoking for the new year, and am a bit overly-critical right now. Please don't take any offense. (But I do feel that my posts have some merit, just try not to hate me, because right now, my head is just a bit messed up)

Also, about the identity of the secret unlockable character:
Spoiler:
Because of those reasons, I decided to rent instead of buy this one.

If you're not a fan of the movie, you'll probably still like the game. If you loved the movies, you'll really dig the game.
The gameplay is very good. The combat is fairly deep, lots of combos to earn through experience points. It's far from a shallow "beat em up" like Final Fight.
It gets fairly tough pretty quick too on Normal difficulty. You really have to plan your attacks, button mashing will get you killed quick.
You also unlock little documentaries and interviews with the actors and what not, which is a very cool feature for fans of the movie.
The graphics and sound are top notch as well. I own the PS2 version, but from reviews the GC and X-box versions are identical.
At any rate, I'm glad I picked it up. I'd probably give it a 9.0.
