- Difficulty:
- Just Right
- Time Spent:
- 20 to 40 Hours
- The Bottom Line:
- "Grows on you"
No kidding - this game practically saved my family.
My daughter is 12, and hates doing anything with us. Then we discovered LOTRO, and wonder of wonders everyone in the family loves it.
Everyone has their own PC, and LOTRO has generally modest hardware requirements. We can all play together. We use Windows Live Messenger to chat while playing.
The online community is extremely nice. I used to play WoW, and the things people said to each other in chat were pretty vile. None of that on LOTRO. Completely suitable for children.
The game is fun, the graphics attractive, there are no bugs, the quests are interesting. And of course if you grew up on Tolkien you'll be right at home.
Did I mention it's completely free? Yes, Turbine tries to get you to spend money, but you really don't have to. There is an amazing amount of free content. You'll have a great time even if you don't spend a penny.

A game based around a good story and good gameplay. What a novel concept?

The expansions help keep the game fresh, but being solo or falling behind is a huge issue

Turbine did with this game what Peter Jackson did with the movies.

Easily the most underrated MMO out there. If you're sick of all the WoW and Warhammer stuff, pick this up.

Based on the Novel book of the same name this game is an A-RPG (Action Role Playing Game) released in 1994 in US and 1995 in Europe. Your goal in the game is to do plenty of repetitive Fletch quests in order to recruit allies to your party.Posted Jun 15, 2011

Gollum's abuse-laden acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards 2003. Very funny.Posted Jul 30, 2006
