The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

"One Of the best games I'v ever played"

I think this is a great game. I think it is a great idea to put this game in your Collection. I have had this game for a couple of months now and I still love it.

Control Scheme:
It is good it takes a short while to get used to it, but it still is preferred over many other games. The scheme is in need of a few things like cycling threw weapons/items forwards and backwards instead of just forwards. But all in all it’s Good just one of the growing reasons to get the game.

Replay ability:
Moderately hi, once you stop it is a while before you put it back in again but ones it goes back in it will be awhile before the day you stop. So it will be in your x-box for at least 40% of the time, but it is in my x-box 50% of the time. Trust me this will be replayed on your console a lot of times

Game play:
Very good it is a really good game. You switch between three main characters I'm not saying whom, you got to fined out for yourself. It has a lot of new things to try different things to do optional objectives. You can choose a lot of times where you can choose what to do just like in real life another good reason to get the game. It is quite easy to maneuver around the different places except for your character cannot jump vary high.

Video:
This is Outstanding. The video is so good you can see everything. If it were any better you could see the sweat running down frodows face in a tense situation. The world is so big. In some levels when the sun is setting it feels like you are actually there hay bring your girlfriend and a screen shot of this and it’s a date, really. In the cut scenes you can see the expressions on the characters faces. And the deferens between day and night is really life like.

Audio:
This game sounds so real it is like you are actually there. The Sound is so good you can here the cricket’s chirp at night. And in some levels with orcs you can here their drums really clearly. The buzzing of the bees and the chirping of the birds is just a little of the games great sound. The peoples’ voices are really clear and each enemy has a different sound or voice if you will.

Story:
The story is really good. It follows the book better than the movie. People who read the book and seen the movie will know what T am talking about. But those of you who never read the book just have seen the movie, like me wont be disappointed but there are still a few differences

So in conclusion this is a really good game and I highly recommend it, but a few things still may freak out younger gamers about five or younger.
