Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Following the story line of J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Fellowship of the Ring, this third-person action/adventure lets you play as part of the fellowship on a journey from the Shire to the River Anduin. Faithful to J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, this game lets you explore the massive environments of Middle-earth while solving puzzles and fighting enemies like Orcs, Black Riders, and an evil Balrog in the quest to destroy the fabled One Ring of Power.

When I received my copy in the mail, it was in beautiful condition, plastic wrap still on it, no bumps in the packaging. I almost didn't want to open it! This was a great buy if you're looking for an archaic LOTR game, or if you're looking to collect.

Ok, firstly, i would like to comment on the good parts of this game. 1. The front of the box is well designed and would look good on my wall.
Now that I've got that covered, lets go on to the bad things:
1. The game will not install. Now, I DO have the system requirements. My Computer: 1Ghz pIII, 256Mb memory, GeForce2 Ultra (64Mb), 52x CD drive, DirectX 9.0b, windows update service pack 4, Windows 2000.
I spent several hours on the phone with tech support, and they led me into more problems, then led me right back to where I started. Do not waste your money on this game. Play PacMan or something that won't waste 4 hours of your time trying to install.

I'm A Bit Disappointed In This.....

Well, I was looking forward to checking this game out, but I ran into a few problems along the way. The game came in an older style box with a CD style case holding two CDs. (one install and one play.) It installed on my Win 10 Pro system without a problem, but that's the last thing that was problem free. I'm aware that running older games, etc. on a newer OS can cause problems but I've found, that with a bit of work, you can find solutions to the problems for most games. (If not the original game then a port that will work.) I opened the configuration util and set the items for my system and it took me to a web site no longer in use and a drive by malware attack took place that caused me to close the system down for protection sake. After that, when I first tried to launch the game I got the black screen and that was it. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to close the game as it took control of my mouse and wouldn't let me close it. After this happened two more times, I decided to uninstall the game. I couldn't find an uninstall setting in windows programs settings and I ran the games uninstaller instead and it went really fast. As is my normal procedure, I checked to see if the removal had worked correctly. Guess what....No dice. game was still there. So I had to uninstall the game by brute force approach and that's always not good. After getting rid of the left overs, I decided to look for ways to run it before reinstalling it. After checking out a Google search, I found that this was not a isolated thing and a lot of people ran into this. I also found that a program could be used to get the game up and running. So I got the program and, following the instructions, tried to run the game. First time it failed and the black screen was back. Second time the game did run but was blinking so much as to be totally unplayable. I tried a number of options under the program but with no success. After that I tried a number of shortcut settings but no luck. At the end, I had to admit this game wasn't going to run for me at this time and so that's how I came out. I wasn't able to really see how good the game really was as it just wouldn't run.. Very sad. (One bright spot on this was the fact that on the second installation the installer DID properly create an "uninstall item" in the Windows Programs item so it uninstalled correctly.)

Fun for it's true-to-the-book feel.

The Fellowship of the Ring is not the best all-around game. It suffers from severe camera issues from time to time and some repetitive game play. But, as a very big Lord of the Rings fan I thoroughly enjoy playing through this game's story. Even if you have seen the movies it feels like you are discovering Middle-Earth for the first time. Everything is a fresh interpretation from the movies' version of Middle-Earth. I love the movies a great deal, but the game versions of the movie don't do much to draw me into the world of Middle-Earth. It is fun to control Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn, as well as other characters in the Return of the King game. But, the atmosphere of The Fellowship of the Ring by Vivendi is especially rewarding for those who have read the books. I don't have much else to say except that, if you are familiar with the Lord of the Rings book trilogy, I am confident you will enjoy this game. Not because of the groundbreaking gameplay, or because you get to control your favorite characters. But, because you will feel drawn into the world of Middle-Earth by this 3rd person RPG adventure game.
