    This is one of those titles which catch a franchise and edulcorate it. It is far from being a perfect game, because it have several errors in the control and ultimately is too easy.
  2. It's probably a Wii version ported to PS3, and that's a shame. Playing with Move is pretty crappy, but it's fun nevertheless and a new way to bring the Lord of the Rings franchise to the younger gamer.

    Simplistic visuals, easy and repetitive combat, recycled story from many games before – Aragorn's Quest's only plus is testing your abilities with the Move control. [Dec 2010]

    The Move controls work fairly well...but such a blatant Wii port shouldn't be full price and won't impress serious PS3 gamers. [Issue#199, p.97]

  1. Although this game is a beautiful game all around, The fixed camera can be annoying and the story is not very in-depth. Most of the time you are running around completing side quests or traveling back and forth to the same area. This can be very time consuming so I advise patience while trying to Platinum this game. This game is VERY easy, Even on hard difficulty there is not much of a challenge. Also, If you have a second controller your friend can jump in and play. Expand
  2. Terrible game it seems it was made for small children, very poor graphics it looks like a nintendo wii game as the critics say. If you activate a second controller a message would come up saying no co-op available at this time and does not go away unless you turn off the other controller, it has many other stupid little problems that are really annoying and I only played it for 30 min.
