I bought this soon after the movie was released. It is excellent, as it includes a couple of scenes in the opening preview that aren't in the movie. At a teacher, my students have loved using this for a reward. A must for any LOTR fan.

Different Product Than Pictured

I ordered the Multimedia Studio but received the Activity Studio. I thought the activity studio was nice, but it wasn't what I wanted. Now I am afraid to reorder the multi-media, fearing the same thing will happen-especially, since I was not the only one this happened to.

The picture and name doesn't match the product.

I ordered this product because it said that it was a multimedia studio. When I received my order the package has a completly different cover than the one shown on the web site and states Activity Studio. I already own the activity studio and that is why I ordered this multimedia product. I feel that this is false advertising and I don't need two of the same item. In order to send it back, I have to pay postage and I'm not doing that. Anyway, the item itself is great. I would recommend it but if you already own the activity studio, don't get this one because it's the same thing.

A Surprising Little Diversion

I picked this up mostly out of curiosity. I was afraid that the wallpaper and screensavers would turn out to be merely the same ones on the official movie website. However, it wasn't so. There are new images. Of course, there are a disproportionate amount of Legolas images to the importance of his role in the movie, but that's pretty much par for the course and should please the "Orli fans." They also put in a few surprising images for instance the usually ignored Eomer.

All in all, this is just a little toy program and nothing more than was expected. I play all my video games on consoles, so I really only buy the little PC CD-ROMs like this. I look forward to making some Hobbit stationary. :)

It's An Activity Studio- it's not supposed to be a game

I think the "one star" review attached to this titles is actually for one of the LOTR Games and the reviewer may be right about the game products, I don't know. However, the IMSI product is a film companion which allows you create and print out posters, calendars, flyers, bookmarks, etc. It also includes puzzles and quiz on the characters and the ability to create desktop and screen savers. It's a engaging print activity studio with some nice features. I recommend it. Just don't expect a video game experience

Worst game I've seen in a while

Now, don't get me wrong... I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings and immensely enjoy the world. I like being able to play as the characters and act out the events of the story. However, this game is not the means to do so. Technical problems just kill any enjoyment that could possibly come from it:
* camera changes on you to the point where sometimes you can't see what you're doing or which way you're facing
* hitting movement combos is nearly impossible (on either keyboard or gamepad) because the only way you can survive is to hit the attack button as quickly as possible and hope you're looking at your enemy and not batting air.
* don't even get me started on ranged weapon targeting...
* watching long movie sequences that you can't skip is fun at first... but gets annoying really quickly.

Overall, if you can borrow this game from someone and give it a try first, go for it. It's not inherently bad. Movie fragments are fun, and so are the interviews with cast members. But I would recommend staying away from actually buying this game. Get yourself an extended version of DVDs instead.
