I have to say that this game was not much like the book. First of all, they make Sam's nose huge and if makes him look fatter then most of the hobbits there. I mean its like as big as a house. Also, the thing that really confuses me is that all the hobbits have like little daggers and hobbits (based on the books) never fight or have any adventures, they live a happy hobbit life with no danger. In the game they changed that, I mean I know they have to put it in there because how do you fight. Well how about with their fists and they go off and find a store in another town and buy swords and weapons. Also, the yard next to the shire, has a bunch of wolves and that would never happen in the book. The beginning was ok but then when you got to control your character, it started to fade away from the book. I have to say, this game was not that great. Don't get me started on the caves. I mean the caves are huge and filled with creatures. The caves were never in the book except in the misty mountains. The caves were also to hard to find your way and would get lost easily. That's really all I have to say so if you want to play this game, hey just be aware if it doesn't turn out to be what you expected.  Okay. Thank you.
