LoTR War in the North: Combat trailer

This video from Snowblind is all about the combat in the Lord of the Rings action RPG “War in the North”.

The concept for the trailer / documentary is pretty simple. The Snowblind team argue that in the Lord of the Rings book combat was pretty brutal. The War in the North is supposed to be dark and gritty. As a result they get to produce a video showing lots of decapitations and dismemberment.

Is War in the North tempting you at all? Would more gore make it even more tempting? Less tempting? The game is due for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
