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 forest or the Barrow-Downs. It is particularly hard at first, when you have to evade Ringwraiths, but eventually you master the basic skills of the game and it gets very boring. Even with characters such as Aragorn or Gandalf, it becomes dull and pointless after a time. You will likely not be particularly fond of it even after having played as such better characters. The storyline is painfully slow at times, and the maps are confined to a very small spaces. The game gets better as it goes, but it is a very slow starter. It is best left borrowed and rented, since it is somewhat short and easy to catch on to.
