Simplistic RPG gets everything right.

User Rating: 9 | The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age PS2


The story of the game is basically following the films from an alternate perspective, following the fellowship around with a Gondorian Soldier, an elf, a dwarf, a ranger, a rohan maiden and a rohan soldier, you pick three of these to battle for you and occasionaly you will fight with super effective heros from the game. The gameplay is basically walking around till you find a battle or a chest although this all you are doing for about 20 hours you will keep playing and playing just to see that next move you can learn. The graphics are ace and the whole game really is fun to play from start to finish. You won't get lost or die time after time again and everything is simplistic to get to grips with (Think final fantasy but easier). Considering you can buy this for about £2.00 there is no reason for anybody reading this to not just pick it up for 20+ hours of fun. If you are a fan of the books or films this game will certainly not disappoint and even if your not, I guarantee you will enjoy this.
