    Most distressingly, inventory management is a total nightmare; identifying and using a healing ’shroom is an amazingly laborious process.

    It ain't particularly exciting, but it ain't exactly bad, either. [Dec 2002, p.272]

    While LOTR hits a lot of highs, the overall quest and gameplay are just a little better than average. It's a strong rental. [Spring 2003, p.40]

    Remarkably enough, the controls are worse than the graphics...If you're looking for a great Tolkien experience, go to your local library and read the books.
