Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for the Xbox is a fun game that is better than the PS2, PC, and GBA versions. The graphics are nice and very detailed. The sound is great with some enchanting music (score). Gameplay lasts from 9 to 10 hours: that is 9 to 10 hours of fun and excitement. The plot goes by author J.R.R. Tolkien's brilliant story very well! I highly recommend you buy Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for the Xbox.
[FINAL SCORE: 5/5 Stars]

great video game that follows the plot of the book very closely

i personally liked this game. it is great. the environments are superior and we get to see great places from the story. however this videogame is not based in paeter jacksons film, it is based in the book. my only complaints are that the combat style is sloopy and that the company who developed this videogame dindt do the two towers or the return of the king. however, this is a must have

The Fellowship is not a strong one here!

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings brings us ever so deeper into the world of Hobbits and wizards. The game is design to be a RPG, but doesn't deliver. The game lacks aside elements that make a complete RPG. The game could of use more interactivity with the environment, more things to do(the game will take you about three hours to beat!) and the graphics are not up to X-Box par. With that, it does include the adventure with Willow and Todd Bonbadil which is a little good addition to the game overall, but is forgotten later in while you progress.Although it may lack in dept, it makes up with a fun engine, supposily a RPG, it reminds me of a platform: Worriors of Might and Magic, a good game, but not great.

Big dissapointment

After seeing the movie "The Lord of the Rings, The Felloship of the Ring"I couldn't wait till they made the xbox game for it. As soon as I figured out about the game by Vivendi I ran down to the store and bought it. Unfortanantly the game did not turn out to be what I wanted. The choice of characters that you could be was not the best. For example I was a bit dissapointed that you couldn't play as Legolas (my favorite) or even Gimili the brave dwarf. The game in my opinion was also too short. It only took me three hours to beat the game, and since it didn't have multiplayer I soon got bored with it. If I were you I would not buy this game. Instead I would recommend The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It has better graphics, and selection of characters. It also lets you play through both movies instead of just the first one.

An OK game

I bought this game thinking I was gonna be playing it for months. This was the exact opposite, the game has a very short playing time over half the game is spent in Moria alone. HOwever besides the extremely long load times and short storyling this was a satisfying game especially being able to play as Aragorn Frodo and Gandalf. The cutscenes are amazingly deatailed and the voices are great. But at the current price this game is not worth buying.

GET THIS GAME

i was scared when i was first playing this game me being a huge tolkien fan, thinking whether or not its going to be any good or of they just made it so they could get money out of it. this is a MUST HAVE for any tolkien fan whether it be of the books or even just the movies. IGN didnt give it that good of a review, i dont know whats up with that, i think it deserves an 8 overall for sure. the old forest part is probably to least exciting part of the game but after that its pure fun! nothing is better than killing trolls with aragorn in the troll shaws and then taking on the wraiths. bottom line........GET THIS GAME.....plus gloin makes an appearence in Rivendell!

a fun game

this is a fun game. the graphics are very good, especially in the cutscenes. the game starts off slow, but quickly gets better. after the first level, there's alot of action and fighting. it also gets hard, especially in moria, because there are many enemys to fight. gandalf is probly the best character to play because of his magic and sword fighting ability. frodo is the worst because while you control him, he only fights with a stick and rocks, but the main enemys frodo fights are spiders and bees. he gets a sword later. if you like the book, you'll love the game. if you've never read the book, play the game. its a little similar to zelda. its worth buying.

Unless you are into RPG's, this isn't an exciting game

I'm the kind of guy that likes action. I play video games because they're exciting and fun (i.e. Halo).

This game is pretty slow and boring. You do *ALOT* of wandering around looking for stuff that's *REALLY* hard to find. This equals BOREDOM for me. I played the game for about 15 hours or so and most of that time was spent wandering around and around the same small areas.

I would only recommend buying this game after renting it. It really doesn't live up to the hype.

Rent Only

It took me about 7 hours to beat. I'm glad I didn't buy it. The graphics are good and the sound is nice. But the game is very repetitive. There are also a lot of load times. It's like they didn't use the xbox hard drive at all. I've been a fan for 20 years and I even like the Bashki cartoon, but this game isn't worth 50.00 bucks. It would upset me if the exclusive Playstation 2 game is better.

best game in the world
