No numerical rating there, but their summary suggests that they have more than mixed feelings about the game: In conclusion this game isn’t really for literary critics. If you expect to see the book exclusively then you’ll be wondering about Frodo fixing windmills, collecting lilies and forever fighting. But that seems to be the nature of the beast when it comes to computer/video game incarnations of popular literature. In the Harry Potter books I never came across Harry jumping so much as he does in the games either. Also, it was odd that Frodo’s purity meter strengthened as a reward for completing tasks. It should have been steadily decreasing no matter what. So because of its simplicity and relative shortness I’d say this game is more for the teenage player, which is not surprising as it is a PC and console game release. As a younger persons game it does quite a good job of introducing The Lord of the Rings because it tells the basic story clearly in small chunks interspersed with action.
