I bought this to replace my old copy that the kids had distroyed. I love this type of game and like to play it to reduce stress.

Probably will be a good game...

I won't know how good this game will be but it sounds ok. It will probably be a good game... but I was talking to my friend about it and this RPG sounds a heck of a lot like Knights of the Old Republic. Three person action party, picking up allies along the way, and free roam... not to mention the picking sides part. I am a serious LOTR fan but, gosh, if you're one, too, please don't say something like,"This is gonna be a great game! :-D!" Well we don't know, so I'd be quiet if I were you. It's kind of 4-year-oldish.

Your lord and master,

LOTR: The worst game

WTF?!?! Ok, here it is, EA can't move on from thier LOTR franchise, so they have to stick with this LOTR thing. Get this EA! It's all over! Ok, this is a piece of crap. You don't get to be Gimli, or Aragorn, or Legolas. You play as these less-important losers who are trying to find Firmir, whos dead. The enemies, well, there aren't very many of them. They have orcs. one time they'll have spears, and then they have drums. Hey, can a drum really be a weapon? Plus, it's boring and REALLY DAMN HARD. Don't buy, and don't rent. Don't even think about borrowing it, or even looking at it, or thinking of it. TOO LATE! anyways, stay away from this trash

Sounds like Knights of the Old Republic

This Sounds like the Star Wars RPG "Knights of the Old Republic" in which you get to choose the light side or the dark side of the Forcee. I really hope that the gameplay and design is similar because the only thing that might be as cool as "Knights" would be a Lord of the Rings version of it. I'm an avid gamer but I don't really like turn-based RPG's much, so I hope that this is going to have real-time gameplay instead. Anyways can't wait until it comes out so I can rent it. For anyone who likes Star Wars or RPG's check out Knights of the Old Republic, Which is in my opinion the best Star Wars game to date.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo this game is gonna be off the hook!!!!! You get to be on team Light or Team Dark, and you get to roam free in Middle Earth, killing Orcs!!!!!! I think it will be awesome for the first time ever to be able to be on the Dark Side instead of being the hero for once!!!!!! It is going to be a huge seller this holiday season so hurry up and get your copy today for that very special someone on your gift list!!!!!!!

sorry, this wont be a deep review. it doesn't deserve a minute more of my time. this game simply blows, it has no feel of tolkiens world or even peter Jackson's middle earth. game play is repetitive and boring. the graphics are no better than ea's other offerings and if you have them you are not seeing anything new. the "story" bored me in first 20 minutes. this game simply blows. rent it before thinking of buying.

Deserves NO stars

This has to be one of the WORST games ever created. LOTR:Fellowship of the Ring was a boring mess but then they released LOTR:The Two Towers and LOTR:Return of the King, both excellent games. Well, I'm here to tell you that that trend is officially OVER because The Third Age is the biggest waste of time imaginable. You play as some random idiot that wanders around endlessly getting attacked by various enemies. Don't think these are actual attacks either, no no, you have staged attacks where you select what you want your character to do, then sit back and watch as it is carried out with absolutely no interaction from you. It reminds me of some of the really early games which had this same type of combat system (which is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE by the way). This was an obvious attempt to bilk a few more dollars out of the franchise but seriously, don't waste your money on even a rental for this dog. This game is boring, lame, pointless and stupid.

GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be the best LOTR game yet. You can play as both the good and bad guys to destroy the ring or conquer middle-earth. You should get this game as soon as it comes out!

Where's the fun?

I had not played any LOR games and was disappointed with this one. I only played for about 30 minutes and found that I was forced to just follow the pre-determined path set by the developers. The game is really just 109 video clips from the movie, with a non-interesting path for you to follow to "unlock them". Someone called this Japanese RPG, I call it "10 year old RPG". If you are under 14 you'll love it. I would have given it 1 star, but I felt that the video clips were sort of fun. However, the Video clips don't even match the story! I wish I could return this game......
