If you check out Isengard at Tolkien Trail, there's a preview I wrote based on the preview from xbox.ign.com that you might want to check out. Also at IGN they have a really awsome movie preview for the game.
You might also want to know that Electronic Arts has the lisence for the movie and plan to release games for XBox, PS2, and Gamecube (I'm not sure, but probably GBA as well). I plan on renting it for my Gamecube when it comes out. ***Edit*** I knew I saw this somewhere. This comes from an article at gamespot...although I remember seeing somewhere some specific platforms being named. Quote:

It was pretty obvious from before the movie came out that there would be games based on lotr. It was also pretty obvious that one of them would be GBA. I've been planning on getting this months before the movie even came out. I'll get it the first day it comes out and write a review for TT.

xbox graphics are stinky. wonder if this game will be any better than the half-completed game i have for the atari.. in which you walk, straight forward, for hours, until you get to rivendell from hobbiton, and every so often you can press "s" to kill one of an infinite number of black riders that pop out of the sides of the road. Ive never actually got to rivendell, it took me an hour to get halfway there, so i quit. Well, lets hope this ones better

So no plans for a PC version then? Figures, we're always left out even though every game that I've ever played that was developed for both a console system and a PC always looked better on the PC.

There was a time when that was true, but now all the next generation consoles are extremely powerful and can be made to look better than PC.

The one based on the books will only be X-Box and GBA, but the ones on the movies will be multiconsole, including PS2 and Gamecube.
