What a Joke

This game was the most ridiculous excuse for a game I have played in a long time. Not only did I beat it in under 4 hours, but I also was incredibly bored for the majority of that time. It is loosley based on the movie, more so on the book. You can tell by the opening sequence that it was thrown together in a hurry. They gave no attention to story or gameplay. The few fighting levels were pretty fun, but they were so short that I found myself playing them twice just to have fun. Please don't waste your money, rent it first.
Great Game!

I got this game the first day it came out and love it. You get to play as different characters, and each character has a different strength. Definitely buy this game.

The Lord of the Rings:The Felloship of the Ring would personally not be my choice. I completed the game in two days without difficulty dying only once. One of the worst games I have played the two towers I completed in the same time most of the Lord of the Rings games are crap so I'm bored of these damn rings.
Oh My Gosh!

The only thing that was really fun in this game was killing Orcs or whatever but the game definetely wasnt as bad as some say. Seems this one was aimed more to a young audience. The movie wasnt very good either so I guess they go together.
Great adaptation!

This version of LOTR is a great adaptation from the book (not the movie, in case anyone didn't know). I didn't know until I was about to buy it, but since I was a big fan of the books I decided to take the plunge, if you will. It's a great version even if you haven't read the book - that way there's elements you haven't seen before, and the whole thing isn't too predictable. As can be expected, the gameplay is excellent, as are the graphics and sound. I tried the TTT version for PS2, but i got kinda thrown off by the fact that you like live the movie for the first half hour of the game. The FOTR version for PS2 is definitely my choice.
HUGE disappointment

Kraft must have developed this game because it's totally cheezy. DO NOT spend money on this. If you think you must play it, rent it. Frankly, I rented it and I'm depressed that I paid Blockbuster $5.99, it wasn't even worth that. Game play is completely boring and campy. If you're a LOTR fan, play Two Towers by EA. It is 1000 times better than this. It has exciting, challenging, pulse-racing game play as opposed to this snooze-fest. Two Towers has actual movie clips throughtout and even has cast interviews that you unlock after beating levels. The movie cast does the character voices and the characters look quite a bit like the actors. In FOTR, they are cartoony imitation people. The whole thing is incredibly lame.
I supposed if I hadn't of played Two Towers, this game might have been better. But after seeing how EA did it, this leaves a LOT to be desired. I definately say rent, don't buy.
LOTR is TOUGH

A pretty good game although it is impossible to get past the Ring Wraiths. Does any body know how to get passed them? Although I have only played as Frodo and I bet Aragorn and Gandalf are better characters. This game is extremely tough!
based on the book

This game rocks because it has awsome graphics, and good gameplay. It isn't to long. It is based on the book (not the movie), unlike most games. It feels unfinished, I know, but thats cause it has two sequls. It follows the book well. The music is good. It pvovides solid entertainment for about 4 hours. When the dark riders (ringwraiths) catch you the scene is really cool. Only they catch you a whole lot. Overall, this game is one of the best games I've ever played.
Rocks
