I have the x-box game based on the Fellowship of the Ring book.

It's fun. Even though Frodo is not the best fighting charicter in the world it's very fun to interact with the people of hobbiton. You can even steal mushrooms from Maggot's Farm. Though, I get caught everytime.

It's not exactly like the book but it's alot closer then the movie. You get to do the Old Forest, Tom Bombadil and The Barrowdowns parts.

If you listen closely in when your in the barrow the whispering you hear is straight from the book.

You learn both at Tom's house and at Bree that Frodo is a horrible dancer but in my opinion that's alright.

Right now I'm having trouble trying to get through Moria as Gandalf. There are so many spells he can do that it gets confusing.

Anyone else have this?
