The Lord of the rings (the fellowship of the ring) film was possibly the best film i have seen, ever! I'm just wondering how EA and possible SIERRA can live up to the brilliance of the film. Can they ever make a game that is as good as the film?

Lord of the Rings was OK. But I never loved it. My brother did, but he's just sad. I hope the game's a nice-Diablo type RPG.

Sounds like Howarrab really likes RARE games. You cant say that the game will just be a lame take off of the film and i disagree that people will just buy it becasue of its 'brand' name!

Purely because the main market for

So perhaps the LotR game may be more sophisticated?

To clarify things, this is not Iguana commenting on anything games related.

No, that just wouldn't do...you just maintain that you don't like gaming, but carry on playing UT, Q3, Diablo 2 and Max Payne...what to get you on to next..Counter-strike.

You love it.

Ages or not, the Harry Potter game was a rip off based on the film; the Lord of the rings could be to.
The company that has the LOTR licence can go to a developer and say 'make a game on Lord of the Rings' and they will just make a quick crap game. It dosen't matter how good the game is: if it has the brand name people will get it. Not a seasoned vetran developer (like Rare) getting together buying the licence and making a great game (Goldeneye).
