3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm, bit hit and miss, 7 Jan 2005
When I first saw this game I thought "a group that werent in the film or books but were apparently there all along in the background, what a poor attempt at milking the cash cow" as I'm sure a lot of others have. However I got it anyway as I thought I'd give it a try, the tie in has been reasonably well thought out and seems to work, seeing the main characters a little more often would have been nice, (my games 70 odd percent done and I havent seen Sam, Merry, Frodo or Pippin). When I first got into a battle I thought "cool its like Final Fantasy". The fights get VERY repetative after a very short while and you'll find yourself saying "ugh not another fight" . The fights are very basic, you run, hit them, run back, they do the same. Something that I'm not sure if anyones noticed is that the turn system is incredibly flawed, on a lot more than 1 occasion I've found that I had 1 turn, the enemy had at least 9, I've even counted upto 16 before dieing. This is VERY frustrating as if you die you have to endure another 30min of boring fights to get back t where you were, which means that it's going to be one of those games you give up on, unfortuantely, I expect very few people to endure the boring fights enough to actually complete it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rather dissapointing., 16 Nov 2004
By J. Burkitt "blues baron" (UK of A) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Okay i'm a big rings fan and own all the rings games on xbox, and when third age came out i had to buy it straight away. First thing that struck me was the graphics, you can tell the creators have had to rush the game for its release date and for this they have suffered. I couldn't help myself sniggering at the graphics in the combat scenes and some of the landscapes. Nothing is smooth and the only detail that is impressive is the spells in combat. Secondly the game is far too repetitive and gets boring after a couple of hours all you do is walk around a bit fight then walk around a bit then fight and so on.. The dialogue is just so cheesy and corny its laughable. Also gameplay is too short with little variation. Rent this game only. Still the best rings game is return of the king, a real masterpiece that's easily worth getting instead.
