A friend of mine from our local LOTR gang did not want to play it but already agreed to write an article for “My home gaming computer” magazine (a long vanished magazine every schoolboy with a PC was reading in 2000s in Ukraine). So I told him the game is badly programmed (confirming that with stupid screenshots like Gollum full of arrows who looked like a hedgehog), but actually has some nice vibe that a Tolkien fan can enjoy; he generated some text and it was published…

I think the studio should get credit for imagining this world, in the own vision without being jaded by movie adaptions. It is a book adaption. This is not particularly easy, whereas although EA made definitely better action games, they're copy and pasted digital textures style and music repurposed from 7-8 years of work done by other people(usually the best at their craft like Howard Shore) this was the first attempt at a story adventure game that nobody had tried before, with the addition of the extensive lore of LOTR it was always gonna be different. I give alot of credit for this game, even if the mechanics are under developed. includes Nazgul chase, Barrow Wights, Old Man Willow and Tom Bombadil. It is a fairly faithful adaption. Most people look down on this solely because it's not Peter Jackson's. It's still better than Rings of Power By Amazon.

With a sheepish glance at his leader, who looked wrathful but did not dare to interfere, Shirriff Smallburrow fell back and walked beside Sam.... 'Look here, Cock-robin!' said Sam. 'You're Hobbiton-bred and ought to have more sense, coming a-waylaying Mr. Frodo and all. And what's all this about the inn being closed?' 'They're all closed,' said Robin. 'The Chief doesn't hold with beer. Leastways that is how it started. But now I reckon it's his Men that has it all. And he doesn't hold with folk moving about; so if they will or they must, then they has to go to the Shirriff-house and explain their business.'" Never expected this small obscure side character to appear in the games :). "'You ought to be ashamed of yourself having anything to do with such nonsense,' said Sam. 'You used to like the inside of an inn better than the outside yourself. You were always popping in, on duty or off.'"

It’s not like we knew games like Return of the King or Shadow of War would ever come out. To call it the awful game that nobody played is unfair to the time it came out in.

Well you see son, in LOTR universe there are 5 kinds of people: No powers, Hero powers, Magic powers, Overpowered, and Hilariously Godly Overpowered. And then there's Tom Bombadil, who could have just danced into Mordor, punched Sauron in the eye, kicked Melkor in the nuts, set everything right, and be back before lunchtime all while wearing The Ring as a piercing on his dlck. If only he gave a fuck.

So nostalgic. lots of fond memories of this game. Can't for the life of me remember ever playing any of that between the wolves in the shire and the barrow downs though.wierd 🤔

I kinda liked this one. The Shire and Bree parts gave off a sense of mistery and adventure that the others didn´t

It was surprising cause he should've died way faster - it looked like he was invincible until he suddenly changed from "oh no, I'm frightened" to "DEAD"

How fitting to compare the hobbits to the Beatles--one of the older movie pitches (obviously the plans fell through) involved casting the Beatles as the four hobbits. I wonder if they'd've made it more jokey overall and thrown in goofy shit like calling the pool at the gates of Moria "the octopus' garden' or had "A Little Help from My Friends" playing as the Fellowship was hiking.

@deepredd Жыл бұрын

Would you believe that I own this game, and was very confused that it didn't follow the events of the movie as I remembered it 😅 I couldn't understand all the "new" characters I encountered, or the strange ways that I solved the problems. I didn't realise that it wasn't based on the movies at all, I just assumed I remembered the movies wrong 😂😂😂

My sisters are huge LOTR fans so I saw them playing this a lot in 2002 on PC when it came out. I got to play it too and it was fun to play. I always wondered why this this game had nothing to do with the movies when I watched them. My sisters explained that it was inspired by the books. I never read them.

When I first played this as a child, I had no idea what the hell was going on but luckily one of my friends was reading the book at the time and he was able to explain what was happening. The biggest memory that sticks out is not being able to escape the Shire, that Nazgul on the horse was really tricky.

At this point I want you guys to play the other Lord Of The Rings games. I got so excited when this got recommended to me. I’ve been wanting you guys to play a Lord Of The Rings game for a long time. I think it would be cool if you play the movie tie in games of Lord Of The Rings.

I can't believe you didn't whip out the "walking meme™" music you used on the Lama when Tom Bombadil was doing his little "chad walk". I think it would have fit perfectly, especially since he apparently can beat monsters by singing.

I have a vague memory playing the game when I was a kid and at the time didn’t know a thing about Lord of the Rings, so I couldn’t understand what was going on😂The two things I remember about it is that I really liked the way nature was shown (the trees, the flowers and etc because it was unusual for the time) and the horrifying Dark Rider! I was super scared of him and never finished the game because of it😅 So I thank you for the hilarious video and nostalgia😁
