Review of Universal's Rings Game for XBox
Elbren
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am thrilled to be able to share with you that Universal Interactive's Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for XBox IS a doorway into Middle Earth! Farmer Maggot, Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, the Old Forest, Old Man Willow, Bree, GLORFINDEL, and more! As a book fan and Purist Tribe member, I can honestly tell you that this game is a valid ticket to Middle Earth. You will absolutely love walking in Frodo, Aragorn, and Gandalf's footsteps. In fact, just play it. If you're new to Xbox games, the Shire will help train you for your journey ahead. If you're an Xbox gamer, the Shire may seem a bit slow, but once you get to the Barrow Downs, you'll be all set for action. If you love the books, the dialogue and cut scenes will delight and thrill. If you're a movie fan and you skip the dialogue and cut scenes, well.....that's why you are thusly dubbed a "MOVIE FAN".
If that's all that you needed to know, then GO BUY IT! If you would like to read excerpts from the journal that I have kept while playing the game with my 14 year old nephew, then read on and experience Middle Earth with us!
