Somehow good.
a totally serviceable rpg set in the lord of the rings FILM trilogy? unreal. where has this been all my life
It's slow and hard to figure out but it's also good at the same time so far.
Had a blast playing this with my friend and we pummeled our way through the Balrog, but then at the bridge a little afterward we met some pretty powerful orcs, and since then no progress has been made. Maybe the foggy and unclear graphics of the PS2 also attributed to this. But we will prevail, eventually.
This game's all like "I bet you're just pretending to like me. I bet you'd rather be watching the movies. Here, watch them, it's fine". But I do love you, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. You're well paced and have a nice, sometimes beautiful, presentation. Now kiss me.
An incredibly underrated game. The first turn-based RPG I'd played as a kid outside of Pokemon. Ties into middle earth lore in a great way without being a retelling of the books and movies.
This was always my favourite LOTR gameas a kid and replaying now Is still a tonne of fun. Gameplay can get repetitvie but you can change your team to freshen things up. Getting to fight alonside certain characters like Gandal, Aragorn etc Is hype and you get to fight all big bad guys from the Balrog up to Sauron himself. Could've done without the love triangle though.
There’s almost a solid game here I think? It’s actually really fun for the first couple hours, but then the game never really changes anything up and when it does, it’s for the worst. Its nonsensical storytelling and nonexistent exploration also really hold it back which is a shame because the combat can be fun! Unfortunately being limited only to the movie source material really hinders it.
the berethor-idrial-morwen love triangle had me goin wild in 2004
Supuestamente es dificil a dia de hoy e imposible de pasar sin trucos,no me ha durado ni 30 horas en dificultad maxima
Better than most of the 'true' LoTR games, and a cool spin on the idea. Sometimes feels like it suffers from weird balancing, but overall a fun experience.
This Fire Emblem clone got me thinking that if Sakurai ever got his hands on it we'd probably see Aragorn and the Mouth of Sauron in Smash 6
How the fuck did they get up to the eye?
Quanto mais tempo se joga pior fica
El Señor de los Anillos: La Tercera edad (2004): Es un plagio descarado de FF X y ya sólo por eso merece la pena. Es cierto que las animaciones se hacen pesadas, y que el final se acaba haciendo muy repetitivo, pero el conjunto es un fanservice disfrutón y recomendable (7,20)
Its just repetitive combat.
There were some good things here - graphically it was quite impressive, the movie score, as always, was one of the best, but even as a diehard LOTR fan, I couldn't help but feel how uninspired, lifeless, and bland it was in comparison to FFX.
And while it may feel incredibly unfair to compare this to one of the greatest JRPG series of all time in one of its best releases, it was easy to make this connection back then... 3 short years after FFX's release, it was blatantly noticeable how much this game took inspiration from it... so much so, that one could call this game a full-on clone/rip-off.

take lotr and old final fantasy games its pretty good and unique take of the serious but its dated and you can tell when you play but i wouldn't say its bad its better than gollum at least
