I've been following this game closely ever since I heard it was being made. It looks like it will be an EXCELLENT game for any Lord of the Rings fan. The game is based on the book, as opposed to the movie - so you'll be able to play parts of the book that weren't included in the film. You'll be able to have control of Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf in certain parts of the game. Bottom line: The people at Universal Interactive have been working their butts off making this an incredible game, faithful to the book, but also action-packed. I can't wait until it comes out. Pre-order this game today!

Unless you are a beta tester for this game, you should be careful in your review of it. While I agree that the Lord of the Rings is a fantastic movie, don't let your gaming judgement be clouded. Look to Computer Gaming World or PC Gamer for honest, up-front, and biased reviews. These people are professional gamers who test games like this all the time. Having said all this, I have no doubt that this will be a great game, but be careful and look to others who have actually played this game.

good game

I would have to say that this is probably the best game i've ever played. however, i am a HUGE fan of lotr, so i ignored some things with this game. if you are a lotr fan, then get this game. i finished the game w/in 4 days of buying, i spent probably a grand total of probably 10 hours on it, so the game is not that long. it is challenging at times though, especially in the shire getting past the ringwraiths (that took me about 3 hours.) graphically its awesome. you want remember the soundtrack. don't expect to see characters resembling the movie characters. my biggest complaints were: when there are a lot of people on the screen and there is a lot of action going on it would skip. also, while fighting the zombie creature in the wright barrow house and the ringwraith at the end of the game, they both disappered causing me to restart. be sure you save your game after you do things. i would get real far in the game and then die, causing me to start way back at the beginning, cause i would forget to save. i highly recommend this game, but i think i might go buy EA's 'The Two Towers' when its released.

This is going to be a good game

Hey, we all have to admit the movie was at least kind of good. So,with this game following the book's storyline even more, it has to be better. I mean, come on, yo can play as Frodo, ARAGORN (in all caps because he is tied for coolest with Legolas), or Gandalf. This has to be tight. With Gandalf you could cast spells while slashing up orcs with Glamdring (his sword). With Frodo you should have the option of putting on the Ring and becoming Almighty in power. Then you can use Sting to chop up people and orcs and stuff. CHOP CHOP CHOP! Did I scare you? I'm sorry. Anyway, with Aragorn you should (you notice I put SHOULD instead of CAN.)be able to have the option of using the re-forged sword Narsil or use a bow and arrow like in Moria in the movie. You should battle orcs, Uruk-Hai (stronger orcs), the cave troll, the Balrog, the Black Riders, and have the option of chopping up the rest of the Fellowship. Ha ha ha. That would be funny. I can just imagine Sam saying, "What do we do now?" in Bree then I use Sting (even though Frodo does not have Sting at Bree) to chop his head off. Ooo, how that would be funny. Anyway, this should be a very good game since it's follwing the book even more than the movie and you get the coolest(tied) person to play, and you get to see Tom Bombadil who wasn't in the movie. I wonder what he's going to look like. This is going to be an awesome game for the PC.

.. replay value... online multiplayer?........

Even though Lord of the Rings will be an awesome game, once you beat it, there will be nothing more to do. It seems like one of those games with absoultely no replay value..... One way to fix taht would be to support online gaming, however this game does not do so.... therefore its one of thsoe games taht u beat in about 2-3 weeks... and then it gets to collect dust on ur shelf.... anyway, it still looks like an awesome game, for the amount of time it will last!

The movie was bad but the game is much much worse!! I can't believe this is even going to be released, what an embarassment to the company! Oh my word, I've never played such a awful game in my meaningless existence.
