    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.

    This game is a rushed, slapdash effort intended to prey on unsuspecting consumers. [Dec 2002, p.250]

    For an Xbox game, Fellowship Of The Ring sure does take a long time to load.

    If there was any truth in advertising, Universal would hawk this game as "Lord of the Pointless Fetch Quest" and recommend that potential buyers seek the Fellowship of Many Beers to dull the pain. [Winter 2002, p.103]

Actualy, that is most of the 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.… Full Review »
