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

    This game sucked in every way. It was a complete waste of time and money. Can you tell me why their faces were green? It's glitchy and the worst game I've ever played.

    It does one of the best jobs I've ever seen of setting low goals, then constantly failing to meet them. Hockey puck, anyone?

    This game rocks! But is not as good as the Lord of the Rings Two Towers and the fighting stinks!

    I am a huge fan of LOTR. This game was awesome! The people who said graphics and display is terrible are wrong. The only thing wrong was the glitches. Bilbo never gave me the Mithrill Armor. So then I quit and my game was gone!

    I might be one of the few people that actually like this game. Its atmosphere is fantastic and something ive not seen anywhere else. Super relaxing. The music is also pretty good. It has many, many flaws, obviously.

    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]

    Then there's the TERRIBLE fight sequences -- the book's magic may not be as flashy and constant as a Final Fantasy game, but at least the hack-and-slash could have been more engrossing.
