If you're a fan of turn based games, and "Lord of The Rings", you'll probably like this game. The characters and battles scenes are cool. The graphics are ok too. The story follows the movie, I guess. ( I never seen any of the movies.) What you basically do is go on diffent quests, fighting baddies along the way. You aquire weapons and armor upgrades throughout the game. You can also toss a little magic around, here and there. Each character has their own special thing they do. It helps in a pinch. So go ahead, get the game (at a cheap price). If you don't like it, then just add it to your coaster collection. Hope this helps.
The kids and I play these games together when I have extra time. However, the games are mostly for their enjoyment! LOTR is fun if you like these type of games. You get to select characters from the famous movie series! They require the build-up of special powers to slaughter wave after wave of monsters! And of course there is upgrades to be won! This is a lot like the Guanlet style of game play! We collect Playstation games, so of course this was another purchase for that as well! PS2 still rocks at our house and will for years to come!
Although the story is a bit lacking in originality, and with scenes very jumpy, making it a bit confusing when an encounter happens, the gameplay is pretty fun! You follow in the footsteps of the Fellowship, with different characters forming a different group, and help pave a path for the Fellowship to accomplish its mission in this turn-based LOTR RPG (same style as Final Fantasy). The game follows the movie trilogy, and it's pretty fun to explore, so to speak, for the game is linear, Peter Jackson's vision of Middle-Earth, which, to me, looks and sounds better than LOTR games based directly off the books, even the newer title and its sequel. This game is definitely worth the money, especially at the price it is now, if you like fun and challenging games. Even though I keep expecting the game to get easier as I progress through the game, it adjusts the difficulty accordingly as you continue playing the game, giving me a run for my money, on the "Hard" difficulty (something I find rare, especially amongst recent games). This is a great and fun game, and I recommend you buy it, especially if you're a fan of LOTR and its movies.Read full review

I love that the game is very long, so you get to play it for hours on end. I like the new characters, though I also dislike that you don't get to use the old ones very often. I love the evil mode, you get to fight as the bad guys (orcs, the octopus, trolls, nazgul, the balrog, etc.). I'm not a big fan of RPG (I think that's what they are called) games (where you take turns attacking), though it does allow you to be more than one person at a time I feel like it's too easy. But all in all it is a good game.
I liked The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age on Nintendo's Gamecube, but could only get so far. I wanted to beat the game and found out that cheating devices were made for the Playstation 2. After I got a Playstation 2 I bought The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age and a cheating device. Only after I bought the Playstation 2 game and sold the Gamecube game did find out a cheating device was made for the Gamecube. Plus the Playatstion 2 version has one disk, the Gamecube version has two disks. I don't like that I bought a "Greatest Hits" version of the game with the red on the case insert and the disk.
