The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Review

The guys at GamersInfo.net have dished up an enthusiastic review of Electronic Arts’ The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, though, as usual, they don’t give the RPG an overall score. Their conclusion:

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is a game that any gamer should enjoy. It is a game that is extremely fun to play, and even fun to watch. Those a fan of the books or the movies will have an enjoyable time getting lost in the storyline. Replaying the memory of the films on the video game will uplift the spirit and help a person get involved in the making of a story. I really enjoyed how accurate the game was to the days of what role playing was all about. Creating a fantasy, developing the characters, and taking the time to think and react to various situations with numerous weapons and spells is what role playing games are all about. This game is on the same level as those played on the kitchen table or basement floor of days past. Only it is fabulously updated with visuals that jump straight out of a book and on to your T.V. screen. If you are not a fan of the Tolkien series, or need games with non-stop action and finger movements, this game will not be enjoyable. Otherwise, enjoy a game that takes you to another world with many fascinating characters and scenery that fuses computer graphics and real video.
