this game was so much fun. it was in the right style for lord of the rings. there is more story than game play to it, but that's what makes it more enteresting. this game rocks.

i really liked how they did it based on the book and the movie it was fun to see the shire and the local pub. i thought the graphics could be alot better. rivendale was a rippoff because the water didnt move 3 demensional they threw in random levels and charcters which i didnt like. i hated the fact their voices were not the actors in the movies. spoiled it. but it came very fast nd well packaged!! i would highly recommend this seller. just not the game. (oh nd there were glitches at the end)

I enjoyed the gameplay enough for the first level or so, up until the part where you are supposed to sneak past the Black Rider outside of Sam's house. I spent a long time trying to do it but kept being instantly killed, no matter what I tried. This kind of difficulty can be justified if it has been worked up to, but here it's much too sharp of a drop off delivered way too soon. One minute you're rounding up cuddly lost farm animals for smiley Neighbor What's-His-Face and the next you're being mercilessly bludgeoned with the icy black hand of GAME OVER.
For my taste, the graphics and visual design are a bit cartoonish, but not bad by any means. The storytelling [of the game itself as differentiated from the source material] and general gameplay are acceptable too. However, none were amazing enough to justify enduring the frustration of an hour spent trying repeatedly to sneak past that irritating Black Rider. I sold my copy to a resale shop after a few weeks.
This game was sooo much fun. I can't beleive anybody thought this game was boring. I think it is better then the lotr games based on the movie because you don't just fight orcs and trolls,etc... the other games were fun but this game actually requires skill. This is not the game for you if you haven't red the books or sit around playing rpg shooter/fighter games all die. I played the PC version and it's got to be harder than the PS2 version.

Don't bother with this LOTR game from Vivendi. It was hastily done, poorly put together, and has no challenge what soever. It is the tamest of "go find the thing and come back here" games. Buyer beware. Even a die-hard LOTR fan, like me, shouldnt bother.

This games is so cool that I kept playing this game over and over and over and over again.Though it is based on the book it dose have most of the movie's plot.If you suck at reading and just play video games and watch movies all the time,then tis not a game for you.Just to tell you people the Ring Wraiths are not as hard to get past exept the first one.Everything else is so easy from the game.So before you get this game read the book first to know what to do and what will come next.ENJOY!
