    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

    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

    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.
