So...what I know about RPG video games could fit on the back of a postage stamp. Frankly, I bought LoTR: The Third Age because, like a lot of folks here, I'm a LoTR fan.
First off, I love the authenticity of it...voices of people from the movie, scenes from the film, but yet, a different storyline and characters.
Second, graphics are gorgeous and well-done. The movement of the character running up the steps of the elven healing altar is just freakin' cool.
Third, replay value is surprisingly good. You can "pump" up a different character every time you play. They all have so many different skills.
Fourth, the format is fun. No running around like headless chickens pressing random buttons, trying to figure out the double-cross mega drop-kick or whatever. You have time to make good choices.
OK, yeah, there are a few times where the dialogue is cheesy. So what? You move on and keep playing. Hardcore LoTR fans are probably going to hate this game, because "it mutilates everything we love about LoTR." However, it's a video game...keep those things separate in your mind, and you'll probably enjoy this gem.
