    The Lord of the Rings The Third Age is a turn based strategy game set in the universe created by the writing genius JRR Tolkien. This game follows the formula that any other turn based role playing game does. You run around in a surprisingly foggy world [the draw distance is one of the weakest elements of this game] and are sucked into random battles with different numbers and kinds of enemies.

    LOTR: The Third Age has some good ideas, they just don't use them 2

    Now, I haven't played any of the final fantasy games for any great period of time except for final fantasy 12 which I didn't feel compelled to finish, but this game seems like it could fit well for some people.I would be one of those people, I just can't find it in me to finish a 50 or so hour JRPG and this game with its mix of a compelling universe and the basic core gameplay that has worked for so many other games. Its length of about 12 hours for a skilled player(20 hours or so for me) makes ...

    LOTR RPG 1

    I didn't have huge expectations for this game but i was surprised when i eneded up enjoying the game despite all of the reveiws i've read. This is why i have decided to make my own reveiw of the game.The game starts off with an elf and a human battling there way through middle earth, each with there own quests and objectives, you are later joined by other charcters and by the time you complete the game you control 6 charcters ( only three can battle at a time). the battles are fairly simplse and...
