This game is like a perfect historical piece of gaming history. A time where the cost of development was low enough and the series was popular enough for the combination of Lord of the Rings and JRPG could be a valid product to make. That is really cool! That's the nicest things I have to say.

There is a plot, it exists and is bad. Utterly forgettable along with the characters. The gameplay is clearly made by people who don't know what makes a JRPG good, poorly balanced on both sides. Lot more to say, but I'll cut it there. Don't try and play this.
