Saruman doesn't use his magic in such violent ways... he is a snake, an enchanter, a corrupter.

Christ, that's funny. The problem was that all of his slots were filled with the spell "Animate Uruk-hai" and "Dominate King of Rohan," which, though powerful, aren't exactly useful in all situations.

Eronarn, how about the big bitch slappin fight between him and Gandalf (that REALLY disappointed me in the first one. I wanted firworks, not invisible tug of war> At least if there was a rope i could have kept track).

I know it didn't (personally i missed radagast the brown) but even when it did happen i expected something more sensational.

I was expecting them to do a DBZ style powerup, considering what kind of crap is popular nowadays. Imagine it...

Gandalf: I have defeated your evilness by turning into a Super Maiar! Surrender and I'll let you go!

Saruman: Actually... I WAS ONLY USING 1% OF MY POWER!!!111

Gandalf: What?!

Saruman: Now I will use my full power!

*Gandalf defeats Saruman in an epic, 30 minute battle scene*

Saruman: Actually... I WAS ONLY USING 2% OF MY POWER!!!111

Gandalf: Ahh! I am hurt! I must go to Super Maian Stage 2!

-----REPEAT UNTIL 5 HOURS LATER------

Gandalf: Nooo! You have won! I must let the others fight!

Oh, Jesus, that'd be awful. Actually, even DBZ's not as bad as all that, it DOES have a plot, but it all moves so damn slowly it's painful.

Here, read this comic. I'm sure both the Lord of the Rings purist and Movie fan can agree with this.

I just bought DBZ: Budokai, sure its not a great fighting game, but i still get a kick out of playing it. Yeah the storylines do seem to take a long time compared to the game. the game basicly summarises the Saiyan, Namek and Android sagas. Its translated directly from japanese with the original japanese voice actors, the insults are very funny. Like calling people "Aunt Sallies!" and saying darn alot. Damn is said once if i remember correctly.

Nothing beats playing as Frieza final form 100% and then using Death Ball. Armageddon baby! Its also class being picollo and using special beam cannon.

Considering that a typical DBZ episode is 90% homoerotic grunting and taunting, and 10% is made up of recycled fight animations, why wouldn't a DBZ fighting game have a mechanic more closely resembling... *noting avatar* Monkey's Island?

Really, it's be like a twisted mockary of the taunt-fight, except instead of jabbing your opponent with witty insults, you would grunt, invent ridiculous names for your fighting techniques mid-fight, and proclaim that you were holding back in a dramatic (read: skull-numbingly retarded) manner.

It'd be a lot closer to the show than Budokai. I mean, an accurate DBZ fighting game should have more yapping than Metal Gear Solid.
