Excellent turn based RPG following the path of the Fellowship of the Ring. Characters all have their own unique fighting styles and powers. Boss fights against the great villains and monsters of Middle-earth are fun and challenging. 'Evil Mode' reverses the gameplay as you assume the role of villainous creatures and bosses to kill the heroes which unlocks rewards in the main game. Only major downsides are the random difficulty spikes, lack of side-objectives and the sudden, unexplained jump to the final boss.
Final Fantasy cosplays Lord of the Rings. What The Third Age may lack in difficulty and tactical depth, it more than makes up for in its creativity, visuals, and engaging adherence to it's theme.
Play as budget Boromir, generic elf, and not-Gimli as you follow in the footsteps of your favourite Fellowship - jumping in to assist at a few crucial moments - all the way from Moria to Minas Tirith.
The tactical combat is on the easier side, even on the highest difficulty modes, and can be gamed in a couple of days but it is always interesting and levelling up your characters and developing their movesets gives a great sense of progress.
Excellent visual design (plucked directly from the films) and strong animations for its age make this a game thats still enjoyable today for fans of the series
