The
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (PS2) -- Platform: PlayStation2
(Video Game - Vivendi - 8 November, 2002)
Amazon.co.uk Preview Vivendi Universal's Fellowship of the Ring is licensed
from the original Lord of the Rings books; thanks to the wonderful magic
that lawyers weave, Electronic Arts will be releasing games based on the
Lord of the Rings films. Just to add a final nail of complexity to the
coffin of confusion, because the movie did such a good job of visualising
the book all of the games have ended up looking very similar. At the end
of the day, though, it means Tolkien fans have got two games to look forward
to this Christmas. Athough it may look similar, The Fellowship of the
Ring appears to be a much deeper role-playing game style affair than its
rival. Taking control of either Frodo, Gandalf the Grey or Aragorn you
get to hunt some orc with the best of them, but you also get to delve
deeper into the detail of the book, embarking on sub-quests and meeting
with characters that the movie didn't have time for such as Tom Bombadil
and Glorfindel. It's rare that a game trying to do so many things at the
same time gets it right but the mixture of fighting, talking and puzzle-solving
on show so far should make this the definitive Tolkien game for real fans
and may even end up teaching the films a thing or two about adapting such
a well-loved tale. --David Jenkins
