Might be okay, but glitches are doozies.

I could have made it through this game several x by now, but the glitches stuck me in trees in caves over drop-offs, etc., numerous times. I'm done... didn't even bother to finish and I was well past Morea. Someone said the ending sucks, so what am I missing anyhoo? I'll try the other two, heard they were better. I'm glad I logged on here to see the reviews (that perfectly match mine) or I might have gone out to buy another copy... thought this cartridge had been flushed and just stamped on the grahics glitches were so bad! But no they say, this game just stinks. Don't waste your money, borrow this one from a friend at the most and see what everyone means. Does not deserve the one point I had to give it.

It's okay.

This is an okay game. There are two reasons why I didn't like this game.
1.The game flow is WAY too slow.
2.It is not challenging.

All in all if you really want to try this game,rent it before you buy it. I Would rather play something else. However I do recommmendThe Two Towers and the Return of the King Games. They're alot better than this!

A Good Game

This game is pretty fun, but it has quite a few problems also. The directions are really hard to understand. You do a whole lot of message taking and little favors for your Hobbit-freinds in the game. The battles are very tedious-even if your guys can hit thier target. There are about three guys on the game that can hit a target consistently. You can't use the Bows in batlle mode.

The game glitches up in the Old Forest when you try to help a lady with spiders in her house. The game also glitches up in Moria quite a few times, but you can go to the game's website and it'll tell you how to get around the glitches.

But, the game follows the books very well. It skips some of the more monotonous areas of the book, but then it makes the areas you play VERY TEDIOUS!

I liked the game a lot though. The plot is engaging, and I found it very hard to put the game down. It is definitly a strategy game. I liked the fact that there is always some kind of mission you're on. The ending SUCKS!

Even after all of the bad things, it is a fun game. One strategy I use is to save very often, since it gets boring when you get stuck and have to beat it again from where you saved an hour ago.

A Slow Game with Terrible Glitches

This game is more based on the book then any other lotr game. But the battles are terribly slow, some items don't work, things that the game promised are taken out, the graphics are awful, and there are some terrible glitches in the game, especially the Moria Glitch which made me go out buy another one (I thought the first one was a defect) and go through the same glitch again. Even if you are a huge lotr fan you should probably stay away from this game.

This game really sucks

I wish I could give this game negative five stars! Whoever gives this game five stars is a complete loser who doesn't have any good games. This game is not really fun and it has major glitches in it. Why get this game when there are games like Super Mario World, Metroid Fusion, Advance Wars 2, or a Pokemon game! And I am not biased against Lord of the Rings games or anything like that because I enjoyed playing the Two Towers and Return of the King for the Gamecube. This game is fun for the first 15-30 minutes though. My final words are DON'T GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!

burned 3 times!

I bought this for my daughter last Christmas. She was so excited she started playing right away. Shortly after she said there was a glitch. 2 Frodo's would suddenly appear on the screen. I took it back, and since you can only exchange the item for the same item we did. Again the glitches. During battle the players would split and you'd have 2 Frodo's or Aragorn etc.. on screen. We threw it out. Later we found several on a discount rack, Spiro's, race cars and LOTR's. So I figure what the heck, third times the charm right? WRONG. The third one had glitches also. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Especially because it wasn't an all battle game. It has action and puzzle solving too. It just should have had the glitches worked out before it was marketed.

If only there were fewer problems....

This game is great.....Until you see all the problems hiding in it just waiting to pop out at you! When it comes to graphics it's very good and it follows the story very closly but the sad truth is that it has so many glitches that it gets annoying. Bilbo wont drop the objects, Gimli disapears, and to top it off it gets frozen when u get to the Mines of Moria! Yes there are tricks to getting trough the game but some dont work. Take me for instance.... I read the bad reviews but (me being as bullheaded as i am) still bought it. i was hooked till i started having problems.....well ok no biggie i just went online and found ways of getting through them and they worked fine.....till Mines of Moria!
My game kept freezing so i saved the game before i went in and now im stuck right in the spot where as soon as i turn on the game i go into the passage where it freezes so i cant go back cuz i automatically go in and as soon as i go in the game gets frozen!
Maybe theres someone whose game will actualy work out there but i doubt it.....
My advice don't buy this game go for The Two Towers or The Return of the King.

Horrible!

Man this game is horrible! I mean, the graphics are pretty good, but the fighting mode is terrible. First Frodo attacks and most likely misses! And in the Mines of Moria, there is a huge glitch. I got past it, but there is another one! This game stinks!!

Fun, to bad it doesn't work!

At first when I bought this game I thought it was preety cool, but boy was I wrong. I always read the instructions for a game before I turn it on, and half the stuff in the booklet wern't in the game. The graphics aren't as good as they could have been, considering what the GBA is capable of. After a time the music also starts to get on your nerves, so I would just recomend turning it off. The gameplay is slow and tiresome, I can't believe how slow the charachters walk. More often then not the came crashes, which means more dull work getting back to were you were before it crashed. Three-Fourths of the way through you enter the mines of Moria, and your just about to get out when the game freezes. I called the jerks at Nintendo, who told me to try a combination of buttons to fix the problem, but it didn't work! So I asked for a refund or a trade in for a different game, but I had had it for more than 6 months. I take really good care of all my games and they knew they game barfed because they made a stupid glitch in the system, what a rip off. Even if you like the books and movie, you probably won't like this game. I was really dissapointed when I got this game. Don't wast your money on this! I would recommend the next 2 LOTR, Lunar Legend, Final Fantasy, Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand or the two Golden Sun games if you like midevil adventure\RPG games. (Lunar Legend is the best, check it out)

why oh why does anyone play this

Yes this has good graphics, Yes it has a kind of Zelda theme. But really if your looking for a game that fits the Lord of the rings best then get the Two Towers. Once you are used to that then get the The Return of the King. That is the best game of them all. Ive played all three and the Fellowship is by far the worst game i have ! Please Gameboy dont let Vivendi Universal (the makers of this game) ever make a game based on a film ever again. They wasted away all the good parts of the books and if you want to fight on this game then good luck to you. DO NOT BUY THIS ITS A WASTE OF MONEY !!!!
