I could have made it through this game several x by now, but the glitches stuck me in trees in caves over drop-offs, etc., numerous times. I'm done... didn't even bother to finish and I was well past Morea. Someone said the ending sucks, so what am I missing anyhoo? I'll try the other two, heard they were better. I'm glad I logged on here to see the reviews (that perfectly match mine) or I might have gone out to buy another copy... thought this cartridge had been flushed and just stamped on the grahics glitches were so bad! But no they say, this game just stinks. Don't waste your money, borrow this one from a friend at the most and see what everyone means. Does not deserve the one point I had to give it.

This is an okay game. There are two reasons why I didn't like this game.
1.The game flow is WAY too slow.
2.It is not challenging.

All in all if you really want to try this game,rent it before you buy it. I Would rather play something else. However I do recommmendThe Two Towers and the Return of the King Games. They're alot better than this!

This game is pretty fun, but it has quite a few problems also. The directions are really hard to understand. You do a whole lot of message taking and little favors for your Hobbit-freinds in the game. The battles are very tedious-even if your guys can hit thier target. There are about three guys on the game that can hit a target consistently. You can't use the Bows in batlle mode.

The game glitches up in the Old Forest when you try to help a lady with spiders in her house. The game also glitches up in Moria quite a few times, but you can go to the game's website and it'll tell you how to get around the glitches.

But, the game follows the books very well. It skips some of the more monotonous areas of the book, but then it makes the areas you play VERY TEDIOUS!

I liked the game a lot though. The plot is engaging, and I found it very hard to put the game down. It is definitly a strategy game. I liked the fact that there is always some kind of mission you're on. The ending SUCKS!

Even after all of the bad things, it is a fun game. One strategy I use is to save very often, since it gets boring when you get stuck and have to beat it again from where you saved an hour ago.

This game is more based on the book then any other lotr game. But the battles are terribly slow, some items don't work, things that the game promised are taken out, the graphics are awful, and there are some terrible glitches in the game, especially the Moria Glitch which made me go out buy another one (I thought the first one was a defect) and go through the same glitch again. Even if you are a huge lotr fan you should probably stay away from this game.

I wish I could give this game negative five stars! Whoever gives this game five stars is a complete loser who doesn't have any good games. This game is not really fun and it has major glitches in it. Why get this game when there are games like Super Mario World, Metroid Fusion, Advance Wars 2, or a Pokemon game! And I am not biased against Lord of the Rings games or anything like that because I enjoyed playing the Two Towers and Return of the King for the Gamecube. This game is fun for the first 15-30 minutes though. My final words are DON'T GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!
