The psp version and some people have said the DS as well have no co-op multiplayer. This game is quite easy yet is still somewhat fun. It would have been a whole lot more fun if we could play with a friend.I bought this thinking I could play with my son.
Game developers get wise,there is a demand for multiplayer games, even mediocre co-op games get bought more by families and casual gamers much more than only single player campaigns.

I finished this game in a couple hours. It's fun to play but I thought it was too easy to be great. It was really hard to lose a fight - no matter how many enemies you were fighting. The good side is that it follows the lord of the rings story. Aragon is doing the quests to help Frodo to get to Mordor.

I wanted a copy of the this little game, mostly because I am a collector of all things Tolkien-related. The game is actually pretty decent. Although not overly complex, long, or difficult, fans of the movies or books will find much to enjoy. The environmental graphics are really good, and the bits about Sam telling the story to his children before the visit of King Elessar are a reference to similar material found in The History of Middle-Earth Volume IX: Sauron Defeated. You will not find lots of depth in this game, but it is fun nonetheless.

This is a fun hack and slash with some shooting that lets you play through many of the major events in Lord of the Rings. It embeds cut-away scenes in the action while you play and the graphics are OK. There are a few side-quests, and you can find materials and forge weapons at hidden dwarven forges. You can find armor and power-objects in chests. You have to fight and look thoroughly to find the hidden items, keys, rescue people, etc. It lets you re-play missions where you were not entirely successful, at any time after you clear the mission once. If you just play through the story, it's a short game. Probably more for the casual gamer and LOTR fan than the hard-core gamer.

This game looked so incredible in all the previews I saw for it, but when I got it, it became the next "Avatar". Extremely cool on consoles, horrid on handheld. This is one of those games that looks like a high school student threw together a game in a day to make a quick buck. The actual fighting is sort of fun, but there are no side quests, you get items ONLY for moving on to the next area, and you cannot find any weapons (that I know of), they just appear. As I said, though, the fighting itself is decent. the attack animations suck, but mixing normal attacks with special skills makes for a fun minute. After playing this game, I made a promise that from then on, I would only get PSP exclusive games.
