Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Review

Video Games City has tossed up a review of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, giving the Middle-Earth RPG an overall score of 8/10. Their final paragraph to follow:
If you don't like RPGs, do not buy The Third Age, but if you were looking to start, then you should probably try this one out. In order to keep the story and experience accurate, the gameplay has been streamlined to appeal to all players, and easy (and challenging) enough to introduce you to the genre. If you don't happen to like The Lord of The Rings though, this may not be your cup of tea. As much as it tries to explain the Middle Earth universe to the players, it's not going to make much sense if you have absolutely no recognition of the source material. In the end, The Third Age is a solid role playing game, an immersive Middle Earth experience and overall, a jolly good time.
