Customer Reviews of Lord of The Rings: The Third Age

Why do programmers have to do that?
Got this game for my game boy and it is the worst one to date about cheating. There is nothing random about the games random number generator. You have heros that have different number of moves they can make (0-4) which depends on the hero in question. I was so impressed with the one sided nature of the number gen that I had to collect some data and crunch the numbers. The game average for the enemy is ~70%. The average for the player is ~25%. Game programmers need to get off the crutch of cheating with there numbers to make a game interesting. That is the lazy way to do it. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

The best strategy game EVER for Game Boy Advance
This game is very, very, very, very fun. Don't buy it expecting an experience akin to the GameCube Third Age, though- this game comes to GBA as a strategy game, not a full-fledged RPG. The battles are intense and demand careful consideration for each move, lest your forces be eradicated by your computer opponent. The Third Age uses a turn-based battle system that reminds me of chess, the number of units you can move varying according to your commander's leadership skills. Their are six commanders total to choose from, my favorites being Aragorn and the Witch King. You can play this game as either good or evil. I like being good because it feels so good to destroy those nasty orcs, but I like being evil because then I don't feel so guilty when one of my units dies. Another cool feature of this game is that you can not only link up with others who own this game, you can also play two-player hotseat multiplayer on just one system. The bottom line? An awesome game for those who either like strayegy games or LOTR games or both. I couldn't stand Advance Wars, but I love the Third Age. I'm still waiting on Nintendo to come out with LOTR games for the DS....

Best Game for GBA I have ever played!
To start this review, I must say that this is the best game I have ever played for the GBA. Heres how it works: first, you choose what side you want to play: Good or Evil. Next, you choose your commander. There are 6 to choose from: Aragorn, Gandalf, and Elrond for the side of good, and Saruman, The Witch-King of Angmar, and The Mouth of Sauron for the side of evil. Next you choose the mission you want to play. After that, you can sometimes choose some companions for the different missions. One mission you can't choose companions on is Bree, where you fight Ringwraiths. When you do choose companions, here is a list of the ones you can choose: for the side of good, you can choose Theoden, Boromir, Eowyn, Faramir, Eomer, Gimli, or Legolas. I think there is a secret character you can unlock for both sides. For the side of evil, you can choose: Grishnakh, Lurtz, Ugluk, Gothmog, Gorbag, Sharku, or Wormtongue. Then you commence to the battle. Well, I hope my review helped. Bye!
