    A really good game, they captured the feel of the movies really well. I loved that you could play as Aragorn, Gandalf and Frodo, it was a really good idea. The locations do well in this, that's why my score is this high. If only they had made the sequal...

    I Really Liked it, despite de critisicm, and Loved the Shire it was wonderfully done, most of all Moria and the fight with the Balrog we're the best.

    If only there were an option for -10, i would give it. I would recomend this game to unexperienced gamers, but some of the missions early on in the game are far from obvious. This game isn't even worth copying. I made it through the first time in about 5 hours. Lets all do the world a favor and not sponser this game's production or marketing in any way

    I like it, especially playing Arigorn, anyone who disagrees doesn't like thinking about how to get past obstacles.

    Games like this are why the LOTR license was so carefully guarded for years; sad to see it was all for naught. It's been a long time since I've been unfortunate enough to play something this sad.

    This piece of crap set me back $50... any relation it has to the Books is cosmetic. Sluggish play, impossible camera-angles, and a juvenile "hunt-and-find" scheme (which Sierra is notorious for) makes this a truly annoying piece of software. If I had known that Sierra had been involved (they hide that fact rather well), I never would have bought this silly thing.

If I had known that Sierra had been involved (they hide that fact rather well), I never would have bought this silly thing. I was wanting an action game, and got nothing but a foolish scavenger-hunt. BOO :( Don't waste your money on this... it's nothing but the stupid "King's Quest" series with a new makeover.… Expand

    Good game. Played it a lot as a lad. Really wish there was a sequel. I did like the mix of puzzle solving and combat. It added variety to the game play.

    This game came out before EA throw to us their installments.
    It was very unique one with great story based on book.

    Sadly, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring is a double-edged sword. While the calm quests in Hobbiton really catch up with the novel´s atmosphere, all combat scenes are just annoying. All in all, a LOTR fan will enjoy this game thanks to its closeness to the epic novel. But every other gamer will realize, that it´s boring and mediocre.

    Very good game it was for this year. Lot of fun from killing orcs and specific feeling playing it some kind of danger in the air. its completely different game compared to EA Lotr Trotk (adventure) and its based on book not movie. IT deserves the same rating

    A neat title to have if you really want a LOTR title that brings a little more to the game than just what you saw at your local theater, but missing parts, changes to the story, and some technical and gameplay issues cannot be overlooked while playing it.

    Stick with it through those slow, opening Hobbiton chapters and you’ll be immortalised in the terrible poetry of Elvensong. No doubt.

    Though beautiful and relatively faithful to the books, it is not the most creatively accomplished game and does little to capture the genius of the novel.
