Overall, "Fellowship" has a rushed and incomplete feel to it. Very little of Tolkien's trademark atmosphere is present in the game, and none of the environments truly feel like a living world at all. Key sequences are diminished by cut corners or perhaps technical limitations, such as the Council of Elrond scene. Apparently there were only so many character models to go around, as the council consists solely of the nine members of the Fellowship and Elrond.

If you gave this game 5 stars you are dumb!

Ick!!!
The graphics are good, the music rocks, but that is all my friends. If you really want to experience what this game has to offer you'd be better off buying a poster book and the soundtrack from the movie.
The battles were easy, the loading times were long, the animation blew, and there were many programming and gameplay errors that ruined the game for me, two of which I will detail:
1.) When you fight the Balorg (or whatever the fire breathing dragon is called) as Gandalf, Aragorn keeps butting in as a cinema scene to give you a health item. This is very nice of him, but if you are not a complete ... you shouldn't need the extra health. Also, while the clip plays the battle remains in progress and you have no control over your character while his [bum] gets kicked. It's very annoying and happens every time you make a good strike against the boss. I think they must have put it in there because it would have taken longer to actually make the battle a genuine challenge.

2.) I played the game for maybe 5 hours, getting VERY CLOSE to the end of the game. I was at the part at the top of the mountain where you (as strider) rescue the hobbit from the dragon-thing. I saved my game at the end of the previous level and then saved it again at the beginning of this one for backup, under two different save files. When I got beat the first time in this battle my continue save file did not load up. I tried the backup save from the end of the previous level and it also would not load up. I did not finish the game because I would have had to start all over from the beginning and go through all the terrible suckery that runs rampant throughout the game once again.

-What a rip-off. ...

Horrible game, avoid at all costs....

Wow, what a let down. Here's the short version.
1. Horrible control. Very awkward, especially the camera. Worst camera I've seen in a game like this in a long long long time.
2. Short/small/linear. Laughably short. I beat this game in 5 hours. No cheats, no hints,....so short, so easy, just.... laughable.

Go buy/rent Drakan the Ancients gate. Uses a similar engine (the good parts done by surreal), but just a much much much better game, in every way imaginable.

I certainly wouldn't recommend buying this, and I be hard pressed to even recommend renting it, it's not even worth the 6 bucks it cost to rent....what a let down, avoid at all costs.

Really Bad!!!!!!!

I hate this game. The only reason I have it is because when I bought a Spyro game it was free. I played it probably 8 times before I found out its was boring and impossible to beat. I have never been a fan of Lord of the Ring but i thoght the game would be ok. I was wrong. It was horrible. I have never played it in over 1 year. Even if you are a big fan of Lord of the Rings I think your going to find this game boring and stupid.
Please tell me if my reveiw was helpful or not.

Vivendi GO HOME, EA knows how to make a game

This is absolutley terrible, what were they thinking? The graphics alone rank! I shouldn't even refer to them as graphics but rather "cartoon" graphics. The mission and storyline are bogus and lame. I dare anyone who says this is a great game to play EA's Two Tower or Return of the King then play this one.

If you don't mind wasting your money, then go for it and buy it, but if you want great games that enhance the LOTR book and movies, go and buy EA's Two Towers and Return of the King.

Not Even For Free

I made a terrible mistake and bought this game for $49.99 the day it came out. If I waited a month (which I wished I did) I could've bought it for $20. This has to be by far one of the worst games I ever played. Needless to say I played it for about 45 minutes and quit, I never played it again. I thought it was boring, graphics and movement were terrible. Honestly if someone gave me this game for free I wouldn't take it. I love the books, all 3 movies were great, this game shouldn't exist. I wasn't too impressed with the other Lord of the Rings Games either but this one is definately the worst out of all. Try to avoid this one at all cost.

Disapointing...

Ugh... is all I can say to start out. First and foremost, this is not a game for the people who ABSOLUTELY LOVED the movie. This is for the book readers only. I bought this game one day with the great hope of going home and reliving the great tale. I was so disapointed when I found out what a piece of [junk] this game was. Sure, being Aragorn was great... for about a whole 5 minutes. And then, the tedius missions started to set in. Not to mention, in the beginning, it took me seven tries just to get passed the stupid Black Riders. I mean, why must it be this hard?!?! And most of all... the ending. Ugh. I won't ruin it for you avid gamers, but lets just say, it was so disapointing that I dont want to bring it up. Do not buy this game. Dont even think about it. I know that I'm going to buy the Two Towers and enjoy playing as Legolas. :)

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.

Greatest disappointment ever for an expensive game.

This is the first game that I bought for the PS2.
I expected much more from a 2nd generation console-game.
The graphics were average.
But most of all, the game is too short. I finished the game in about four hours. The game is not challenging hard, in other words too easy.
Especially at the beginning of the game the events start happening really slowly. (get the note from the chest, bring them to bla bla) Too easy puzzles, etc.
It looks like this game was developed within a month.

I am usually not so critical, but this game doesn't get my credits... waste of money. (sorry)
