A wonderful Game

agree with other reviewers that serious gamers will be disappointed with this game. But as a periodic break from the norm for people with a life, this is a fun game. I'm a huge LOTR fan, both of the movies and of the literature, and this game is a fairly decent interpretation of both. Interestingly, while it is not 100% faithful to either, it represents both faithfully to some respects. Of course, the voices and images are almost straight from the movies, but the game designers have corrected some plot points to remain more true to the books. For example, when you reach Rivendell, you will be given Anduril. In the movie this didn't take place until the third movie, but the game corrects this and thus is more faithful to the books.
I think my favorite part is just roaming through the Shire as Frodo Gamgee in between Aragorn's quests. Aragorn’s Quest is definitely worth a rent
