    My mom bought me this game a long time ago. I was at the time a huge die hard fan of the Lord of the Rings (I'm just a casual fan but not as much as I use to). When I plopped this turd into my Gameboy Advance, I was not ... Read Full Review

    The Fellowship of the Ring Xbox

    Following the book instead of the films, this game is the best adaptation from a literary viewpoint. It may be lacking a bit in gameplay, but the opportunity to explore areas and meet characters not available in other g... Read Full Review

    The Fellowship of the Ring PC

    This game has been criticised for it's gameplay and perhaps deservedly so, but for a Lord of the Rings literary fan it is a lot of fun. This is one of the only adaptations to feature Tom Bombadil and one of the only Lor... Read Full Review

    The Fellowship of the Ring GBA

    An unfortunate result of a game that follows the books really well. The story is still there, the gameplay is lacking terribly. The releases for PC and Xbox were much better.Gameplay follows Frodo and the Fellowship usin... Read Full Review

    Fans might want to give it a try, but don't expect to get far in this game so easily.

    I was never a fan of the Lord of the Rings franchises, but this game could of been way better for the fans out there. I received it as a Christmas present in 2002. I never really liked this game all that much. The pr... Read Full Review

    Not a good Lord of the Rings.

    In The Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring you will experience the first book that JRR Tolkien wrote. In this game you will start of at the shire and go up to the death of Boromir. This game is fairly boring and t... Read Full Review

    Only play this if you're a fan of the book, not the movie.

    Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the greatest movies of the last decade. The videogame for it however isn't anything special. Gameplay, 5. Like any other action adventure game you have to guide ... Read Full Review

    Funny how you can still enjoy a poorly made game because it is based on Tolkien's Middle-earth. A fans only game.

    The game is pretty basic. You play as either Frodo, Aragorn, or Gandalf and each character has his own perks: be it the use of the One Ring, the use of sword/bow, or the use of wizard's magic. All in all the combat part ... Read Full Review

    This game is definitely original, but could use some work.

    This game gives a different take on the ideas and mysteries enshrouding Middle-Earth. Die hard Tolkien fans will appreciate the minor details left out of the movie for length reasons, such as Tom Bombadil in the old for... Read Full Review
