I agree too. I particularly liked the character generation system, which 
was almost a game in itself.
It's much more fun plotting a "childhood" for the 
characters than rolling die and then trading off attributes.
Also, the combat map was just as good as anything else I'd seen.
Finally, it was nice to have a different game world- I like Tolkien as much
as anyone but there are other mythologies available.
