Good Graphics Good combat system but lacks key rpg elements. Overall though a worthy buy.
Perhaps I am abit behind the curve on rpgs but i have had problems finding many great titles that peek my intrest, LOTR the third age did because i loved the movies and it was designed as an RPG. Let's start with the goo... Read Full Review

The one rpg to rule them all?
This is one of the greatest rpgs of our time and trully does give SquareEnix a run for their money as they deserve every point of a 9.4. This game has some of the greatest gameplay ever witnessed in rpgs, yet is not as ... Read Full Review

Let's hope this is EA's last rpg. Doesn't bode well for their strategy title.
I rented this game instead of buying it. My favorite console rpgs are Final Fantasy X and Knights of the old Republic and I have finished both (90 hours for FFX and 52 for KOTOR). I've played 10 hours of the Third Age ... Read Full Review

This is an amazing game....what bugs me is that people don't realize it!!!
As a LOTR fan, I have been looking forward to this game for a long time. I was a bit surprised when the Gamespot Staff gave it a ridiculous 7.7! It didn't deserve that low of a score at all. The first thing I like... Read Full Review

Not the "Real Deal" RPG it was beefed up to be
When I started this game, it opened with a real people cinematic from the movies, so I decided to watch as it went through from the opening till the heroes gather at Rivendale, where it radically changes to the in-game C... Read Full Review

A decent game, but it's a blaring example of EA's lack of experience in RPGs.
I bought this game expecting about what I got, an RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy X with the LotR story but was neither as great as FFX or as grand as Lord of the Rings; so I wasn't too let down. Overall the game isn... Read Full Review

If you love Lord of the Rings, then this is for you, otherwise...just stick to fable.
LOTR 3rd age is a great game...sorta , kinda, maybe. I had mixed feelings when i drowned myself in this game featuring tolkens fine series. However, i was really let down by this game in one major area: gameplay. It was... Read Full Review

Awesome visual effects! The turn based engine is perfect. EA really knows how to make a great game!
I just picked this game up and haven't been able to put it down. The new characters are cool and I love the way they've weaved the story into the films. The special abillites are awesome and the inventory system is way d... Read Full Review

Turn-based combat, Real-time exploration, and a strong character development system make this a top-notch game.
An elegant combat system, character development that blends "automatic" skill level-ups with decision making and stat allocations blend to make this a unique and highly enjoyable game. While combat is very similar to ... Read Full Review
