    Most distressingly, inventory management is a total nightmare; identifying and using a healing ’shroom is an amazingly laborious process.
  2. While LOTR hits a lot of highs, the overall quest and gameplay are just a little better than average. It's a strong rental. [Spring 2003, p.40]
  4. A few small sub quests (such as delivering a message for someone) do not lift the title out of the sea of mediocrity it’s floating in.
  5. I think I'd rather have Gandalf turn me into something unnatural - like a hairy newt - rather than play this game again. [Dec 2002, p.150]
  6. It is slow, annoying and simply boring.
  7. 15
    One of the worst games I have ever played. It is an underdeveloped, bug-ridden title that is an insult to Game Boy Advance owners and Lord of the Rings fans alike.

    I am a huge fan of LOTR. This game was awesome! The people who said graphics and display is terrible are wrong. The only thing wrong was the glitches. Bilbo never gave me the Mithrill Armor. So then I quit and my game was gone! Expand

    Great following of the story line decent graphics(especially for an RPG) but the fighting and glitches dont make it special.

    It does one of the best jobs I've ever seen of setting low goals, then constantly failing to meet them. Hockey puck, anyone?

    This game sucked in every way. It was a complete waste of time and money. Can you tell me why their faces were green? It's glitchy and the worst game I've ever played. Expand
