Amazon.com Review:
For even the mildest fans, anything related to this beloved book deserves top-notch treatment. Vivendi's officially authorized The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring falls disappointingly short of that goal. The game is intriguing enough (credit the source material) to play through entirely--once. For the cost of the game, you are guaranteed a reasonably pleasurable 10 hours of gameplay. After that, it will likely sit on your shelf.
There are good things in this game: the RPG mechanics are fine (at various points in the story you play as Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf), the visuals are beautiful in parts, and certain aspects of game design are fantastic (Gandalf's magic-casting stands out). Little touches make it appealing to true fans, like when Aragorn receives the repaired Sword of Elendil, and it glows during fighting. It would be a great game for even non-LOTR fans to play, since a good deal of backstory is provided in lengthy cinematics throughout the game. Fellowship's greatest asset, of course, is the story itself, as well as the bevy of villainous creatures that provide great boss-fight material. I'm sure many other games wished they had a Balrog to offer.
But the story deviates strangely from the book in order to satisfy the format of an RPG game. The final boss-fight (which we won't spoil here) is completely unrelated to anything devised by J.R.R. Tolkien, and it seems hollow, strange, and unsatisfying. The puzzles sprinkled throughout the game are random and often frustrating, as is your first encounter with the Ringwraiths (inevitably, you die many times--too steep a difficulty curve right out of the gate). This game is still strongly recommended, but with many caveats. Proceed with caution and you're likely to enjoy yourself. Expect a masterpiece and you'll be wishing you saved your money for a different PS2 title. --Jennifer Buckendorff
Pros: - Great story and great characters (of course)
- Missions that require problem-solving as well as combat
- Gorgeous maps
- Getting to play as Gandalf
Cons: - Painfully long cutaway scenes
- Cheesy ending
- Often-tedious fights

I enjoyed the gameplay enough for the first level or so, up until the part where you are supposed to sneak past the Black Rider outside of Sam's house. I spent a long time trying to do it but kept being instantly killed, no matter what I tried. This kind of difficulty can be justified if it has been worked up to, but here it's much too sharp of a drop off delivered way too soon. One minute you're rounding up cuddly lost farm animals for smiley Neighbor What's-His-Face and the next you're being mercilessly ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Game!
This game was sooo much fun. I can't beleive anybody thought this game was boring. I think it is better then the lotr games based on the movie because you don't just fight orcs and trolls,etc... the other games were fun but this game actually requires skill. This is not the game for you if you haven't red the books or sit around playing rpg shooter/fighter games all die. I played the PC version and it's got to be harder than the PS2 version.

Rating: - An awful game
Don't bother with this LOTR game from Vivendi.It was hastily done, poorly put together, and has no challenge what soever.It is the tamest of "go find the thing and come back here" games.Buyer beware.Even a die-hard LOTR fan, like me, shouldnt bother.
