Littledud206 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Just wondered, is this game worth getting because i really liked the look of it when it came out but wasnt sure. If it is, is it a pre-owned buy or a new edition buy? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help yeah, get it, its very good. its a little short but is still very good and has re-playability, if you play through with all 3 different characters. get it new, its not too expensive anymore. deffinately more than a rent.

PharIVIacisT Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I personally found this too boring to complete...my 2 cent's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKerminator Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 As a huge LOTR fan, I found this game to be quite fun. It reminds me of the old LOTR games like ROTK and TTT. It's even better with two others. Used or new doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infr4 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am not a very LOTR fan, but i was looking for some coop game to play with my best friend on split-screen. And I must admit this game is a coop blast! Play only as one could be boring, but finishing enemies, and looting items with your friend is great fun. Just ended second playthrough and looking forward to the third one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyZedd Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Love the game, absolutely worth fullprice.Has a lot of repalabilty with random loots and so. On my third playthrough now (legendary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocking23nf Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I wouldnt pay more then 10$ for it. Its a C quality game with a A quality name. The role playing is very shallow, its travel up tunnel A, kill everything before proceeding to next tunnel or outside area. Theres like 8 different things to kill in the game. , The boss fights are easy also. It can be glitchy also, i fell through the floor against the final boss on normal, i waited for 20 minutes for my NPCs to kill the boss and then i was un-stuck. In my city we can rent xbox games from the library for free with your 10$ annual membership. This is a rental class game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful Samhein Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Though the main characters were basically interchangable, I still very much enjoyed this game. I thought it was pretty much a button masher with a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodial Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 unless you are a huge LOTR fan, if you plan on playing this solo, you will be bored senseless. co-op adds a little bit of fun to it, but after the second or third run through (necessary to complete), even that gets old. the story and the dialogue seem pretty well-done, so i don't doubt that the writers did their homework, but it doesn't seem like the programmers did. progression is very linear and a lot of things that are pretty basic in RPGs seem unrefined. it's like they just tossed them in there so that they could call it an RPG. its a buy at $10 if you love LOTR and/or you want a fairly easy 1000 gs, but if you simply want to have fun playing a game, spend your $10 on something else.

KyKy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Just wondered, is this game worth getting because i really liked the look of it when it came out but wasnt sure. If it is, is it a pre-owned buy or a new edition buy? Thanks for the help I just picked it up on Ebay virtually brand new for £10. Got to worth a go, a few people have said its like the old games (The Two Towers & The Return of the King) which I enjoyed thoroughly back in the day.

Bulldog NL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Didn't play it on my own XBOX, but at a friends place for a couple of hours. I really enjoyed the game and I am planning to get it myself, so I can play it with my friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBodom Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I enjoyed it but i havent played a button masher hack n slash in a while, decent story, can get very repetitive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpb Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) picked it up cheap on a lightning deal from amazon... its not bad... nothing special... combat gets a little repetitive - but is a solid game from what I can tell (few hours of play). Don't know on the length.... does commit one of the cardinal fails of achievements - unlockable difficulties. If you want 100% - you will need to complete it 3 times on progressively harder difficulties... don't know if your items/levels carry over each playthrough -> anyone answer this? But all in all, if you can pick it up for under £20 - I would say its worth a playthrough... Edited December 28, 2012 by tpb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the difficultly increase from normal to hard is less than the ability increase you get from you new game + character... At least it makes the 3x playthrough less painful.

II Mortis II Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I enjoyed playing this and so did my wife and she doesn't even like LOtR so I'd say it's a good game, not just for the fans of the franchise. Having said that, it's quite old now and I wouldn't suggest buying it for more than £10 - £15. I'd go second hand so long as it's a reliable source.

Death Metal Jim Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 It's a fun game but can get a little repetitive. Playing through it 3 times isn't too bad, especially if you play as the Dwarf and level up his dexterity and explosive bolt. I was pretty much killing all the enemies in one hit on Legendary (even the bosses). The addition of coop is also appreciated and keeps the game fresh and entertaining. I would definitely purchase a sequel to this if it ever gets made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warder0 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 My first impressions of the game weren't great. But after playing it a bit and then playing with a few friends. End up really enjoying it. I wouldn't have gone out and bad full price on release day. And you do think, it wouldn't really have sold of be anything if it didn't have LOTR in the title. But honestly, not a bad game.
