Review: Lord of the Rings : Fellowship of the Ring | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a game based on the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy of the same title. The fact that the game is based off of the book instead of the movie seems like an excellent idea, but the developers took far too many liberties with the story and end up making the game almost feel like some sort of dim-witted satirical parody that only loosely represents its subject matter. What they’ve done is added unrealistic elements in the game that never actually took place in the book and used events that did occur but changed them so that they would fit with the game’s repetitive objectives. For example, in one scenario you meet up with Tom Bombadil (yay!) but before you are allowed into the safety of his house you must collect 12 lilies for Bombadil’s old lady (boo!). Lilies, What?! I don’t remember that part, it’s true that the book mentioned Bombadil collected lilies for his wife in passing phrase but he never forced the poor down-trodden hobbit-folk to do the leg work!|
