This game is awful. I don't know if it was the pretty graphics that got it so generously reviewed, but it is a worse rpg than damn near anyone I have ever attempted to play (note: I borrowed it). It is utter monotony, an endless sequence of meaningless battles until (wait for it!) you get to be a bit player in an important, plot relevant fight. Which, by the way sets the pattern for the game, which feels like it is merely an attachment to an actual LOTR game where important things happen. Meanwhile, you're elf #4, the guy that no one cared about for a reason.
Also, FFX combat system does it no favours, since I've already played FFX to death, and it was better. I'll take a gay Tidus over...whoever the fuck these people are.

Play Shin Megami Tensei. Play Shadow Hearts. Hell, even Wild Arms Alter Code F might be something to look forward to...but avoid this like the plague.
