    Boasts incredible graphics and audio, but extremely linear gameplay.

    The game is also pretty short--somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-12 hours to finish, and your desire to replay it will likely be minimal. All of which doesn't sound good, but I enjoyed myself playing through this familiar story.

    The game suffers from some repetitive missions with a lot of "fetch this and find that," plus many of the camera angles are finicky.

    If you can live with all the problems, irritations and lack of inspiring gameplay, there’s actually a reasonably big game locked away. Real, hardcore Tolkien nuts, who live and breath the man’s work, may get something out of this.

    Worth a rent, but not a buy. Definitely more for fans of the book or movie. Great graphics, semi-fun gameplay, but I can't see much replay value in this one.… Expand

    The greatest moment of this game was the first 2 minutes of gameplay. Then it just felt like a chore too play. Actualy, that is most of the gameplay. e.g. go and find 11 lillies, run around this maze, collect all 5 piglets... and you do it all by yourself! Its supposed to be the fellowship of the ring. And the worst part when you go to first person you can only look around without moving. Not good for evading attacks. Its like doing the dishes for your Mum.… Expand
