As boring and painful as rubbing hemmeroid creme on an orc.

Banal , poorly-acted cutscenes that pale in comparison to the movie version.

An action game with only two attack buttons, and absolutely no combos or upgradeable moves.

An RPG with endless fetch quests and no leveling up and no improving stats.

Believe it or not, the three things above aren't exactly good ideas for video games. So, why, then, did the developers of this game think it was a good idea to combine these things into one big worthless pile of crap? Honestly, there’s absolutely no part of the gameplay that isn’t totally half-assed. For God’s sake, you can get through all of the levels by running past your enemies rather than fighting them. Getting to play as Gandalf in Moria is actually enjoyable, until you realize that the endless wandering around that you do with this wizard sucks all the fun out of it.
Believe me when I say not to buy this game. No matter how much you’re into Lord of the Rings, you just can’t ignore one universal truth: Picking weeds for Tom Bombadil just isn’t fun.
