    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.

    It is slow, annoying and simply boring.

    It’s plagued by poor design, flooded with glitches and fails to capture any of the drama or emotion present in the book or the movie.

    The entire game is so unpolished and full of bugs that it's unfathomable how it ever passed quality assurance in the first place.

    One of the buggiest games ever released for the GBA, if not one of the buggiest games ever released, period. One flaw even makes it impossible to complete the game.

    Great following of the story line decent graphics(especially for an RPG) but the fighting and glitches dont make it special.
