Item Description

What if you were not part of the Fellowship, but walking just a few steps behind it? The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age answers with a party of its own. Berethor, a captain of the Citadel Guard of Gondor, sets out on a journey that shadows the events of the films, and along the way he gathers the elf Idrial, in the service of Galadriel, the Dúnedain ranger Elegost, the dwarf Hadhod, Morwen of Minas Tirith and Éaoden of Rohan's Royal Guard. Their story runs alongside the one you know, crossing paths with Gandalf, Aragorn, Éowyn and Faramir as Middle-earth goes to war.

EA Redwood Shores built it as a classic party RPG, and the influence of Final Fantasy X is clear. Battles are turn-based, a queue shows who acts next, and skills that slow, stun or hasten can rearrange that order. Three heroes fight at once and can be swapped mid-battle, and successful attacks fill a shared meter that unlocks powerful Perfect Mode moves. Characters learn new skills by using the ones they already have, and elf stones open extra skill sets like Lightcraft, Shadowcraft and Item Creation, which leaves plenty of room to shape the party your way.

The journey visits landmark places from the books and films, including the depths of Moria and the Pelennor Fields, and Gandalf himself, voiced by Ian McKellen, narrates the Epic Scenes, film clips that frame each stretch of the story and offer advice to Berethor. The clever extra is Evil Mode: as you clear each area in the main game, it opens up to be replayed from Sauron's side, with you commanding the forces of darkness against your own party in a run of battles. Win them and you earn special items to take back into the main adventure.

Reviews were warm if not universal, with some critics wishing it strayed further from the films, but few licensed games have tried to turn Middle-earth into a full-length traditional RPG. If you love the trilogy and the comfort of a turn-based party adventure, The Third Age is a rich, generous way to spend another long journey through Middle-earth on the PS2.

About the game

The Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.
