This was actually pretty good but weird to me as a kid because you couldn’t play as frodo

one of the funniest clones of a video game ever created

Really amazing turn-based RPG from the studio who would later give us Dead Space. Covers some iconic moments from the film adaptations. I remember it being pretty challenging, I'd love to play it again someday.

primeiro rpg de turno q joguei e foi uma merda

Really, it's a game that was attempting to capitalize on FFX, let's be real here. It's not bad, but it's pretty simple.


This game is no mere clone of FFX. Its combat system is genuinely better.

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.

A turn based rpg that takes place during (slightly behind) the events of the films and books. Very derivative of the original source material, but it's not a bad thing. Visuals are great and set piece battle and boss fights are epic.

A bizarre but strangely charming FF X inspired RPG in a LOTR setting.

Great game until I had to fight the final boss. I could never do it.

Actually a super solid FFX clone that has a story you could blink and miss, still a really fun time for any RPG-lovers and LOTR fans alike.

The final boss is you literally on top of Barad-dûr fighting the eye of Sauron. I wish I was kidding.

It's an FF X clone with a LotR skin and a fan-fic story. If that sounds like a fun time to you, you should play it. I love this game a lot.

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

Basically a Lord of the Rings fan fic. It did get my little brother and his friends into turn based RPGs so that was pretty neat.

I'm sure this was a decent turn based RPG but I quickly traded this in for the Finding Nemo PS2 game when I was a kid. I was pretty messed up like that.
