Yet another Lord of the ring merchandise on the market
Sorry to say this game is not worth playing nor renting/borrowing.
The pace is too slow, weird interface and cut scenes from the movie edited in a very mysterious way.
You choose whether to be friend or foe, either The Fellowship or Saurons flock.
Turn-based strategy where you make your moves and then wait until your opponent makes his.
All characters are even in battle, anyone can beat anyone... This is another oddity, Sauron is sometimes defenceless against Pippin. Duh!
The cut scenes in between are one of the most irritating moments. They're like a trailer made for MTV. Just a lot of pictures without sequence flashing by. Horrible.
This game sucks!
