Great fun always ends soon January 31, 2007

I love tactics games and LOTR, so bought this one by instinct without reading any review. The game didn't disappoint me, is very fun, fast paced and the animation is amazing, besides the strategy and planning your moves you will enjoy just by looking the characters executing the attacks and spells.
The only negative is the fact that you will complete all the levels relatively in a short time (maybe with more levels I wouldn't get enough either) so after completing it with the bad guys, I tried to start again with the Fellowship, and you get the same missions but on the other side of the ring. I have to admit that playing with Sam and Frodo is not closely fun compared with the Witch King attacks, so really don't went too far with the good guys. I guess I will be playing again from the start but trying to win in less moves or getting different skills and items to slain the good guys faster (sorry for my sadistic side).
Good effort by EA April 22, 2006

This is a great game for the psp. For those of you that are Final Fantasy fans this game plays like Final Fantasy Tactics.
You can play either the side of Moria or the Fellowship. Some reviews call this a short game. If you only play it once with out getting everthing for your heros, it is. However I'm taking the time to get everthing and the memory stick claims I have about nine hours play time. I still don't have all the Moria skills. I still need to lv the side of the fellowship and get there skills. I belive you could spend 20+ hours to get everthing.
The graphics on this game is the best i've seen on a handheld. The sound is great as well. The game also has clips from all three movies.
Now the down side. As you work your way through the game, all your heros gain exp. It don't matter if they was in combat or not. However, you still have spend the credits on your heros skills. The highest lv you can go is lv 15 which = 8,700 exp.
Over all this was a great effort by EA.
 Oh well March 15, 2006

I'm a big fan of tactics games. For that and only reason I bought this game.This is a good game for short term simply because it's too short. All you can do is follow the movie story (the movie was damn long one) no alternatives. Dissapointing.
 Any LOTR fan should own this.... January 26, 2006

I must say....This game is all that! It resembles the game releases on PS2, but at the same time, is so different. I highly recommend this game. There is a slight freeze problem that will occur every now and again, but simply pop out your disc and put it right back and you are off again where you left off. The game is so addicting. Especially if you are a fan of LOTR. I was lucky to catch this on sale at Best Buy at $39.99 for the week it dropped in price, but now it's back up to $49.99 there and is well worth even that. It is basically chess with the LOTR characters. Strategically position your characters to meet the objective. I was a bit confused when I did the tutorial, but after I tried it, I figured it out and have been tearing the computer up for now. I'm sure it will get tougher though. Different levels and difficulty levels will keep you entertained for a great while. I could not put this thing down when I started playing it. It is truly worth every penny.
EA has screwed a good thing up again! January 7, 2006

Overall it's a good game that keeps you wanting to play the next mission. It's also fairly difficult which is a good thing (I usually have to play each level twice before beating it). But BEWARE, EA has not done their quality assurance checks again (as in the major malfunctions with the Madden 06 for PSP game). This game has often froze up and turned my PSP off right in the middle of a mission. So frustrating... I smell Class Action! I'm about to boycott EA games. Well, if you want to keep playing this game, please remember to save often!
