"Ultimately LOTR is a good game. While it could have been better in some areas (better load
times, more interesting combat scenarios), for the most part it is well done. You should rent it
first and decide if it's worth $50. If you are a hardcore LOTR fan, be sure to check it out."

"Big-time Tolkien fans that can tolerate the generally poor gameplay features in order to get
a interactive romp through Middle-earth may want to give LotR a rental, but absolutely don't
consider this for a gaming buy unless it can be had around the holidays for under 20 bucks."

"The Fellowship of the Ring is ultimately an average game at its best and a frustrating and

"The heavily flawed combat drags this title down to a great degree, effectively making about
half the game into more a chore than anything else." Review by Matt Keil with screen shots

"There is an initial rush and glimpse of Tolkien's novel in the early going. The ensuing
action lacks punch and never arcs to a point to make any of the combat substantial." Review

"Did I have high expectations for the game? Sure, but even if you were to strip the license
away, the games lack of focus, sub-par AI, and unbalanced gameplay make the game mediocre at
best." Review by Kaiser Hwang with overall score [6.7] and screen shots.

"The die-hard Tolkien will get a kick out of slugging and spell-casting their way through the
first book of the Rings trilogy, but the casual gamer will only be disappointed by an otherwise
generic action / adventure title." Review by Steve Steinberg with score [68] and screen
shots.

"The game is also pretty short--somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-12 hours to finish, and
your desire to replay it will likely be minimal." Review by Bonnie.

"The game suffers from some repetitive missions with a lot of "fetch this and find
that," plus many of the camera angles are finicky." Review by Marc Saltzman with screen

"For gameplayers, linear is not good. Though a game sports a variety of puzzles, they should
change up a bit for the sake of diversity, something that this game doesn't appear able to do. The
enemy AI is suspect." Review by Michael Lafferty with overall score [8.0] and screen shots.
