The Lord of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring is an intriguing game to say the least.

Released only one month before the Two Towers tie-in game, Fellowship has nothing to do with it's film counterpart. This decision led to the creation of a game I still struggle to pin down... do I like it? Do I hate it?

Throw on your cloak, grab your walking stick and let's find out!

    Thanks for checking out the video! 💚 What's your favourite Lord of the Rings game?
  • @aw9307
    I actually loved this game as a kid.
  • @michadomeracki5910
    This is the first game I have gotten in my life. So many great memories.
  • @johnc.truett6625
    My favorite part of this game was the Shire; I could play an entire game just doing hobbit things.
  • @derrickhighley3762
    I actually really enjoyed that game. I was so looking forward to the sequel they were making called the treason of Isengard. Too bad it got canceled
  • @davedavey2524
    I couldn’t get out of the shire when the ring wraiths were searching for you. So many frustrating memories as a child
  • @thisisforonecomment
    I vividly remember playing the Aragorn levels again and again and again. It's probably because I couldn't beat it or move on, but I loved every second of it.
  • @wesleyfilms
    As flawed as it was, the game has a very comfy and magical aura about it. I feel like there's a bunch of hidden/cut stuff in the game, waiting for someone to do the digging.

    had this game as a kid on the Xbox, which interestingly enough is significantly different from the PS2/PC "ports", and was the original version. I suspect the PS2/PC versions were built off of an early alpha build and the game diverged from there. Regardless I think for their time they were actually pretty decent, I love the atmosphere especially and it really captures that adventurous journey through dark evil lands
  • @lukasopalka3396
    Well, that ending you heavily criticized is actually book accurate, hilarious, don't you think. In books Boromir died in Two Towers and that nazgul attack truly happened ( just nazgul don't attack them on ground but Legolas shoot it down from afar).
  • @LetsPlayWalkers
    What's even more crazier is when you realize that the guy who voices Sam in the PS2 version, is ROBIN from Teen Titans
  • @IWillBeRaptured
    As bad as this game actually was I enjoyed it, I heard the developers planned to add so much more but the publishers rushed development and they had to cut a lot of content.
  • @AggressivelyMediocre
    You won't forget that Shire level. It's the only level of the game I DO remember. Mainly because I quit and returned the game for Two Towers that night. Luckily Hollywood video were cool and let me just exchange it for something else.
  • @mindofgod1543
    You and I couldn't differ any further on this game, in every aspect. FOTR got it right where Two Towers & ROTK failed; The Lord of the Rings is an adventure, not a hack n' slash/cast spells action story. Adventuring, collecting items, & completing missions to move forward... From start to the end of Bree, I loved this game as a child, and it was one of my favorite PS2 games back in the day. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this game as much as I did.
  • @StudioMod
    The novel of Fellowship doesn't actually end with Boromir dying, the Two Towers begins with it.

    If you find Gollum 3 times in the Amon Hen level, you get the most powerful weapon in the game: a fish
