Video Game Reviews of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Customer Review: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Summary: 4 Stars
First off I'll go ahead and tell you that I am a die-hard fan of Middle-earth. I own 6 video games based on J.R.R. Tolkien's world for the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' is one of my favorite Middle-based games (guilty). I'll start off with the pros. It relates fairly closely to the story because of a great storyline which appears in the cut-scenes. Though the game is far from perfect, I rather enjoy the excellent graphics and sound quality. The environment of Middle-earth is nicely done in this game and the characters look very well detailed in movement and appearance. The sound quality brings excellent sound fx as well as a soothing music-score which isn't annoying and sounds rather good. The gameplay is descent overall. Being an action/adventure game title, the game is pretty strategic when it comes to solving puzzles, the way the game lets you equip and use items works well, and the game is blessed with letting you use a quest log to help you understand what needs to be done and what is optional. You get to play as Frodo, Aragorn (Strider), and Gandalf throughout the game. Frodo is good at sneeking past enemies with stealth and Aragorn is excellent at fighting in combat with his sword and bow. Gandalf is my favorite character to play as do to the fact that he can kill countless enemies using awesome magic spells. The controls are easy to use and the learning-curve is a descent half hour. The game starts out a little slow, but fun. When you get further into 'Fellowship of the Ring' it gets better and more action-packed and addictive because of the hack-n-slash combat system: which, sadly, isn't perfect. Now to explain the cons. There are some glitches in the game that cause surrounding character A.I. to go berserk: you'll notice some enemies constantly running into walls or walking back and forth at a continuous fast rate. Though rare, sometimes you may find yourself falling through the ground or the game may even crash. The combat system can sometimes be quite annoying because when I happened to lock on to an enemy the camera angle would go array. I decided to stop locking on to most enemies when fighting them: it seems to help. To think that if this game was more polished it would have probably been my favorite Middle-earth based game. Oh well! Luckily there are ways to work around most of the glitches. Overall, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' is a great game for die-hard fans of Middle-earth. If you aren't a true fan of J.R.R. Tolkien I suggest you stay away from this Xbox game title and play some of the other Middle-earth based games in the gaming market.
The following is based on my own opinion:
Graphics: 5.0/5.0
Sound: 5.0/5.0
Story: 4.8/5.0
Gameplay: 4.0/5.0
Value: 4.0/5.0
Overall Score: 4.2/5.0
