I got this game for Christmas, and I'd like to know what you all think, if you've played it. I personally think it's a good game, but I didn't like it too much because you can't parry enemy blows or control your character to a better extent than this game allows you to. It's one of the things that made me stop playing it, because I couldn't believe that Grima Wormtoungue was killing Berethor, Idrial, and Hathod, no matter how many power-ups I gave them! It was also a bit too much un-blockable magic for me as well.

But enough about what I think. What do you all think?

I played this at a friend's house once. It was okay (I had Idrial and Hadhod, I think) but some of the bosses were rather hard. Which meant we resorted to looking on the internet for answers XD.

But yeah, some of the bosses are just ridiculously hard and you're too busy trying *NOT* to be killed to think of an alternative way to win.

The problem with the game, was that it was using a turn-based battle system, and too many overpowered enemies.
Personally, I never had any problem with Grima Wormtongue (although I specialize all of my casters in RPG's in healing if possible), but he does, indeed, hit hard.

I've completed the game, and my overall opinion of it, is that it's bad. They copied Final Fantasy X, and killed the system with their badly made imitation.

I rate it 3/10.

Ah, that's what it's called... yeah, the turn-based thing seemed interesting to me at first, but it just got on my nerves when those Uruk-Hai pikemen kept doing their ever-so-annoying battle cry each turn... and then the turn system in general just got me so annoyed that I couldn't control the characters like I could in all the other Lord of the Rings games...

This reminds me... I do have the GameBoy Advance version of this game, which I find a lot more straightforward and a bit better than the other console's versions. It's more like, "You! Move here! Attack this guy!" and then he swings his sword/fires an arrow at this enemy, and does X damage. There are also heroes AND regular soldiers, and only heroes (which there can be only 1-4 on each side per battle) can do any magic abilities.

If they let you play it like you expect them to,It would be even better.still fun
