The LOTR computer game

[Comic Book Guy 2001]

I hear there is going to be a computer game for playstation 2 i think on the LOTR trilogy, I don't know about everyone else but this makes me feel a bit uneasy and the words "Cash-in" are brought to mind.

I've moved this thread to this forum because the game concerned is based on the books, not the movies. Hope you don't mind Comic Book Guy ;)

It's called the Fellowship of the Ring. You may become more uneasy. Just a tad.

Fiery Sting, hostile badgers and angry mushrooms, oh my!

Look at the bright side. We've seen horrible video game translations before, this one just has better graphics.

I suppose people who haven't read the books but seen the movie will buy it, as for Tolkien fans....

Even they'll have bones to pick; 'hey, what's this got to do with the movie?' Gamers will like it and some Tolkien fans. I know I will enjoy it. I would prefer an epic, but I am sure it will be a fun game. I understand the purist point of view, being one, but the only thing to do besides silently protesting is to look at it artistically.

from what i understand, the game will be on the Mocrosoft X-box and will be based on the Books (not the movies). it will be an Action/Adventure game. its being made by the Seattle based company WXP3D. they are a sub company or at least working under Seirra(the death and destruction of Middle-earth Online).

i personally would give the game a try. im hoping it wont be a Zelda clone and im pretty sure it wont be(due to the feedback from a Mr Adam Kahn on the VN message Boards). Mr Kahn assures me that there wil be a 1-player-RPG based on Middle-earth, but that at this time he's not working on it.
i at this time have no prejudgements, and am eager to play any quality game based on Middle-earth. it is doubtful that i will buy an X-box with my lack of monetary funds, but i will find a way to play it.

Well, you would know. ;)

It is a curious thing, the number of people here who go on the Middle-earth Vault.

[Phalanor]

i do. the two boards are different. very. i like'em both.i know people who on both. VN is more fun i guess. i like the look of this one. but not as many people. but its all good...

You weren't here in the "good old days" ;) We'll be back to our formar glory, I'm sure, when the movie comes out
