I play a teeny bit with my brother's X-Box - I also love Vivendi's Fellowship. But I really love Sierra's "The Hobbit" - it's rather fantastic while (I think) keeping the spirit of the book, *and* it's at my playing level. (whee, novice!). My brother and I have rented TTT & RotK and struggled through them, but without cheats I find I usually don't have the patience to get through games. The only problem I have with Fellowship is that the characters are so weak, and the graphics so dark...through Moria, I had to turn the brightness control all the way up...but the weakness is probably due to my playing style (mash all the buttons! mash all the buttons!)

But yeah...Fellowship is I think geared more towards fans, and less towards gamers. It goes a bit weird at the end, and is a bit weird with the Aragorn bits, but the Barrow-downs is worth it. So creepy.
