Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
Just because I like this game and someone was asking about it, I went ahead and made a topic on it.

This game takes place from the beginning of the movie series and follows about the same story line. You are a different fellowship that is following just behind the path of the main fellowship with your own duties and missions on hand. With the two fellowships, you tactically move accross the lands to stop Sauraman and his armies and rally all moral fallen troops to help aid your cause. You frequently meet up with Gandolf and other members of the main fellowship and you move throughout your journey and as I said above, you just basically follow the story of the movies. The missions are pretty much straight foward and the fighting can be real tough as you advance in terrirtories so you can't get too redicuously strong over your opponent and which takes all of the fun out of it. In most battles you actually struggle either a some or a great amount.

There is also an evil mode in the game which allows you to place as Orcs, Ubah-Khai, Goblins, Trolls, Wargs, Witches, and any other creature or enemy you see in the movies and game. As you completely a territory it opens up in evil mode. You go back to the main menu and enter evil mode and upload your file and fight as enemies in that territory against your fellowship. With the completion of each evil mode territory it unlocks strong, evil items that you can equip and use on with your party in the main game which is pretty awesome.

You start off with two party members and meet up with your third about 30 minutes into the game and find your 4th at about 45 minutes. From there on, it's basically that small group getting strong and b-tch slapping everything until you find your other two members which tag along with your party to help rally your cause.

To answer Ox's question from the other thread, this game is for the PS2 and not the computer so there is no mouse involved. It's an RPG game similar to Final Fantasy so you have a battle system and you run into enemies to fight along your way.

There isn't really much more I can say about the game without someone asking a question because it is all pretty much straight foward. So if anyone has a question about the game, I will gladly answer it for you.

I liked this game, but I thought it was way to short and easy. It only took me under 20 hours to beat the game. There isn't a lot of replay value with it either. I would suggest renting it. By the way mob its Uruk-Hai.
