this game couldn't be any queerer than the movie. the movie sucked azz and this game will also suck azz.

I dont know what kind of stuff you are smoking, but the movie kicked some serious azz. The game could be a different story we won't know til it comes out. The screens I have seen look pretty sweet, but whats the deal with the little crosshair thingie? I haven't seen it tin any of the other screens I have seen and frankly it looks kinda ghey. Who is this being published by, by the way?

universal studios is publishing one, but i think there is 2 coming otu...im not sure if this is the universal one!

yep, this is the universal one. its being published by universal interactive

I loved the movie and I know that I will love the game. The screen shots are very hot and I can't wait until this game comes out so I can rent it frist.:)

isnt this an RPG... from the looks it looks like its a shooter:D Theres 2 FOR's games? and to the kid whos smoking something... the movie was awesome. I just think you are a little cranky... judging by ur sig... and what you say:confused:

Is the world completely empty of humanoids? I don't see anything living except plants.

i actually enjoyed the movie...too bad there isn't volumetric grass like ego or kotor :(

The movie is AMAZING... if you've read and loved the books. I can understand how anyone else might not fully comprehend everything that transpires. The depth of the trilogy cannot be completely explored in nine hours.

I've read the trilogy at least six times, (and The Hobbit even more) and it was absolutely incredible how images, which previously only existing in my imagination, were brought to life with such clarity and vision. It felt as if I was remembering a lucid dream.

Pure Euphoria!

However, as an armchair (or in my case, recliner) film critic I insist that films be viewed as independent works and not be judged, nor rely on previous experience with the original novel(s). In this sense, I believe the movie fails to accomplish its goals.

For example, it is simply not possible to tell the complete history of the ring in twenty minutes of narrative. The relationship between Bilbo, Gandalf, and The Ring is taken for granted. In fact, all of the characters come off as shallow.

I have higher hopes for the game based on the books than I do a game based on the movies.
