Did anyone else ever play this? I have vague memories of it as a kid. It was released alongside the movie but developed beforehand so it had original designs for everything.I just remember getting stuck in the woods, they were a real maze, but I was a retarded kid so that doesn't help.
>>720703580>don’t know what the characters look like since it came out before the movie was made so they make their own designs >still know exactly what the dialogue for the movie scene would be???????
>>720703805Hello, my zoomer friend, might I interest you in a mystical artefact called a book?
I got this for Christmas the year it came out but probably never played it more than 30 minutes, desu.
>>720703805Because they're both based on the same book you dingus.
>>720704094How do I click the book?
>>720703580>>720704121Question does it have a shitty, generic OST or does it have the LOTR theme and shit?
>>720703580My classmate tried finishing it in the middle of a schoolday but since the save function was broken, I think, his progress was lost when class started and had to turn it off I don't even think he made it pass the Shire.
>>720704121kinda kino cover art
>>720703580No but I played the hobbit, it's not too bad.
>>720704461https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg-WUDjX5T8&list=PLMYuP8n_kKNBR8xzP5xp9FxG52ABs-sKWGives me Runescape vibes
Yes I actually really like this game. Its insanely comfy and I think captures the vibes of lord of the rings in a really charming way that other games don't.
>>720705056Eh fuck that if it had a 16-bit version of the movie score I would have played this right now.
>>720704121>every fucking artist just makes the balrog a generic horned demon instead of a being of shadow and flame only a little larger than a man, that can still fit through a normal sized door
>>720705274I wouldn't be surprised if the Twin Towers and RoTK GBA games had a movie style score since those are blatantly based on the movies>>720705224Agreed, it's quite comfy and definitely fits Fellowship very wellIt being developed independently from the movies may have helped it, but I'm curious as to how it would have been designed it if it came out after the movies
>>720703580The first game is jank as hell and makes a lot of weird gameplay decisions. I remember liking it decades ago, but I couldn't really get into it on a recent replay.The other LoTR GBA games are full-blown ARPGs and a lot more polished, but lost some of that added "quirkiness" the jank gave it.Too bad the skill trees are pretty weak.Captcha: 0M0 WAY
>>720703580bizarrely my mom got super obsessed with this game, she has never touched vidya before or after, I remember she helped me get through the Mines of Moria. it's so weird to think about, but I'm glad she had fun with it.

>>720703580I swear I'm not being contrarian but this game is trash. The artstyle is ugly, just moving on the world feels fucking terrible and the gameplay is mid. Honestly the Twin Towers and RotK gba games are 10x much more enjoyable and they are arpgs. In fact anon, just play the sequel games. Also skip the hobbit gba port it is garbage.
>>720706418I remember loving Third Age on GBA, completely different from console version
>>720704461isnt the theme just classical shit like Requiem for a Dream
>>720706418if you think that's bad try the fellowship of the ring game on the super nintendo
>>720703805They're based on a book, you stupid fuck
>>720707053Loved that as a kid. You can go to some higher level enemies right away and get murked by them.
>>720706907Is it an RPG like the console version or what?
>>720704126>>720707149Yeah right
>>720707321it plays like fire emblem
>>720707408Oh that actually sounds pretty fun, gotta check that outIs it more or less the same story?
>>720707467It has nothing to do with console version, you use characters from movies. It has campaigns for good and bad factions, with some cool units like trolls and ents
>>720707053That one was terrible but it did have a very nice soundtrack.
>>720703580at the time vivendi didn't have the Jackson movies license, EA did, so vivendi productions looked very different
>>720707053there was a fellowship game on the fucking super nintendo? never heard of this wtf
>>720703580I played two towers on gba, seemed like bootleg diablo and was decent but extremely short.
>>720703580Just fuckin play the Two Towers and Return of The King games that were released alongside the movies. Much better than this garbage. I also liked Third Age too but everyone hates it so... wouldn't recommend.
>>720703580i think i played thisi got stuck at the part where you play as Boromir or somethingalso i vividly remember the game bugging out at least two times when the Nazgul chases the hobbits in the woods
>>720709835rotk on the gba is the same sort of game but much more polished, pretty gud if you liked two towers
>>720706957Requiem for a Tower was only used for the Trailer for The Two Towers, not in the movies themselves since trailer music is always its own thing.https://youtu.be/LbfMDwc4azU?si=IfWf7_DexbczIqFP&t=101
Speaking of the Two Towers, Animal Crossing New Horizon put in a parody of the scene where Saruman addressed his army of Uruk-Hai in their game.https://youtu.be/TQq4LjSF2rc?si=-aJL8LX20smlMIAy&t=45https://www.youtube.com/live/LJU2H-eqKPs?si=TbY-3y2kFp2I8L7G&t=6259
>>720707053>Dipshit useless AI party members that permadie.>Probably still the worst instance of copy-pasting I've ever seen in a game. Every dungeon is like the same three rooms over and over.>Said dungeons are also fucking huge and there's no ingame maps.>Entering Moria requires finding 6 keys scattered throughout the rest of the big copy-pastey world. Missed some? Good luck finding them, fucker.>Moria is EVEN BIGGER AND COPY-PASTIER it's probably the size of like every other dungeon combined jesus christ.>Legolas and Gandalf don't join until literally right before the final (and only) boss fight with the Balrog.>Boromir doesn't join at all; he just gives you the Horn of Gondor in Rivendell and then peaces out.That game was the goddamn bane of my childhood. music was admittedly pretty nice like that other anon said, though
>>720703805kek
>>720712138>>Moria is EVEN BIGGER AND COPY-PASTIER it's probably the size of like every other dungeon combined jesus christlore accurate
>>720703805I refuse to believe it isn't bait
>>720712138Beating it was satisfying as fuck. This was before the movies and i was desperate for anything Tolkien related as a kid.
>>720714726it definitely isn't bait, niggas dont know about source material
>>720706957Lux Aeterna was composed in 2000
