terrible game

The Lord of the Rings The Third Age is a terrible game. Three attacks and you're dead. It puts you up against 3 enemies so hard they take 100 damage each off you when you only have 300 life points. It has the worst graphics of all the 21 games in my collection. Three of my friends agree that it is an absolutely terrible game. Don't waste $50, it's barely worth 5.

Second hand RPG

This RPG is great for people who are really into the movie trilogy, although I found it rather disappointing. The battling game play is something reminiscent of Final Fantasy and the story line seems to be desperately trying to sew itself into the original LOTR storyline.

First there's you, the hero, who travels just SLIGHTLY behind the original game characters. Every time you enter a place, it just so happens they JUST left. And then you meet up with an elf, then later on, a dwarf, then a human archer, and oh wait, is this group starting to sound familiar?

Overall the storyline and the painfully time consuming battling will leave many people scratching their heads.

BORING!!!!

I got this game thinking yes a new lord of the rings game. But it is nothing like the first to. In the first to you get to attack any bad guy when ever you want to. In this game you and the other people "Take Turns" attacking. And half the time your people miss. (...)

This is not like any of the movie games at all!

I got this game a couple days ago. I figured it would be like the 2 towers and return of the king. IT'S Not! You have to "select your move" and all that junk. The only reason I gave it one star was the graphics. And lastly to finish my angry review,this game has a bunch of non-trilogy characters.

This game drove me insane when I was playing it. (Thank god I rented it) I was hoping for a nice game where you actually fight, rather than a horrible turn based piece of crap! I gave it two hours (And wasted my saturday night) and it seemed to have no story and the worst fights in gaming I have ever seen. This game is incredibly depressing (and the format of the fighting parts of the game-the parts that most sane people look forward to-sickens me. It's like pokemon colloseum)
overal, this a big dissapointment. If you like games that arn't turn based, I advise that you stay away from this game, otherwise, go for it... I guess...

when i first rented this game, i was so exited that another lord of the rings games were out. but it wasn't like the others.
i hate games that you have to take turns, and this was one of them.i played this for 5 min. and was thinking,"this is a load of crap".im just gonna stick to the other lord of the rings games such as the two towers instead of this crud

First off I must say I don't really care for RPG games, but this one in particular was the worst I've ever seen. Even my friends who like RPG games hated this one. You play as less than reconizable characters from the book, which in fact has them in different places, not on a trip. Unlike The Two Towers, not an RPG, you run around without getting attacked, and when you are attacked the fight isn't determined by your swordsmanship, you have to attack in an orderly fashion, each person with there own turn, and the can't be hurt unless it's the other person's turn. You can't save unless you run long enough that you run into a "saving station". When you win a battle the heroes make stupid victory dances.

A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this game before I looked at the reviews, and now I regret buying it. It is the 2nd worst game I have ever played(1st being Finding Nemo). If this game sound cool to you don't buy it before renting it. If you don't rent it first, I am telling you, it is a waste of money!! I payed $20 on this when I could've spent it on a better game, now I wasted 20 bucks on that piece of junk! I lost valuable weapons on that game because I died but could'nt save at any time I wanted to. That is why you should rent it first or waste your money.
