 RPGnet: Review of Lord of the Rings: Roleplaying Adventure Game: Two Towers
The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Adventure Game: The Two Towers consists of an introductory roleplaying set plus wargame-like rules to depict the Battle of Helm's Deep siege.
The booklet is divided in three sections: roleplaying rules, the roleplaying adventure (Acts I and II), and the Battle of Helm's Deep wargame (Act III).
But given that this is an introductory roleplaying game, the predictability of the adventure may be an asset for new players unsure of what to do in a conventional free-form roleplaying session.

 The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game: Core Book by Decipher - A Game Monkeys Review!
Taken from the movie which is, arguably, as faithful to the books as anything could ever be this game should tap the vein for all you Tolkien freaks out there.
Speaking strongly to its advantage, and significantly contrasting the lack of background and story, is the huge amount of information presented on spells, equipment, and character archetypes.
All in all, Lord of the Rings is a solid RPG that is set to rival all of the games that have been created in the properties wake.

The rules of the game explain how to create your character: how to define his basic qualities, what he knows how to do, the special powers and abilities he has, and the weapons and gear he carries with him.
The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game requires at least two people: one to be the Narrator, plus one player.
But because roleplaying games involve creating engaging stories as a group, you don't just listen as the Narrator says, ‘Three Orcs rush at you with drawn swords!' You get to choose exactly what your character does.

 Review of Decipher's "The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game", by John H. Kim
The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game is a game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy of the same name and the movie adaptations from New Line Cinema.
The game has taken the position that there are lesser "magicians", and greater "wizards" who are trained and inducted by the five chief wizards (i.e.
It strongly encourages a storytelling focus in the game, sometimes to the point of contradicting the written rules.

 Lord of the Rings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The game is definitely rooted in the War of the Ring, as the background focuses on that timeline.
The focus of the game is heroic and epic roleplaying and as such does not lend itself to playing any of the corrupted races - Orcs, Trolls, etc. A major focus of the game is avoiding corruption.
A mage can have a subtle but powerful influence on the game, but the game offers many opportunities for mages to use their non-magical powers and talents as well.

 Burning Void Reviews: "The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game," Decipher
"The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game," Decipher
The advantage to the former is that there are already plenty of fantasy roleplaying games out there, many of which were obviously loosely inspired by Tolkien's work.
I prefer a simpler game that relies on common sense a little more; I have trouble remembering lots of little rules and I'm not fond of having to look up lots of things during game-play (although at least the index is thorough, making this easier).

The first is about Tolkienesque tales of heroic proportions modeled on The Lord of the Rings' story, the second accommodates games of any type where the story takes place in the world created by Tolkien.
The difference is about style of play; in the first case the game involves heroes modeled on the Fellowship of the Ring, in the second you are not so restricted in terms of narrative style and can play villains if you want to.
Even Gandalf, the most powerful wizard in the land during the War of the Ring, could not slay the Witch-king with a wave of his hand, toss balls of fire to destroy legions of Orcs, repair the gates of Minas Tirith with a spell, or instantly transport himself and Fordo to Orodruin.

What's more, MERP forced The Lord of the Rings into the Rolemaster game engine, as chart- and dice- and numbers-driven a system as ever a right-brained Tolkien fan was forced to digest.
The Lord of the Rings is the quintessential fantasy epic, and the RPG acknowledges that its epic feel is what most players will want to relive.
The game encourages you to let the world of Middle-earth itself respond to the actions of its heroes and villains, not just as a plot device but as an active, unseen participant in the narrative.
