Ferrago.co.uk has written a review of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It won't take you by surprise that the rating is rather lukewarm with 65%, since most other sites dind't like that game too much, either. Here's their summary:
All in all, The Fellowship of the Ring just isn’t quite the jaw-dropping RPG masterpiece we hoped it might be. The story is over too quickly, and the game play isn’t as involving as it deserves to be. Whilst the production values are generally high, the camera problems are also an annoyance.
This said, however, fans of the novel will relish the opportunity and freedom of exploring the nicely realised worlds of Tolkien’s unique vision, and may even enjoy the adventuring of the characters - providing the missed opportunities and occasional flaws can be over-looked. |
