While there are some Lord of the Rings games that should not have been forgotten, this one is barely worth playing the first time.

Another LOTR disappointing production. Bad graphics and low accurate motion control make it sadly boring to play. Better when shared with a friend, yet not worth the money.

Another day in Middle Earth, another game with too many flaws to be The Chosen One... even if you're the #1 fan of Tolkien masterpiece.

It does a good job of presenting both Zelda-style adventuring and concentrated sandbox gameplay with a Tolkien flavor, combining them into a focused Middle Earth adventure that serves as an excellent Lord of the Rings primer and an expanded highlights reel of the films.

Despite some flaws, Aragorn's Quest is an engaging adventure across a well-realized version of Middle-earth.

A different take on the LOTR license but it won't do much for older fans. [Issue#232, p.95]

Ultimately, it feels almost disrespectful that Tolkien's rich and evocative mythology should be reduced to collecting "Gandalf Tokens" and bowdlerising one of the 20th century's greatest mythologies. The pity is that that Aragorn's Quest works well enough to prove that LOTR does indeed have the makings of an epic RPG. Unfortunately, this isn't it.

Aragorn's Quest is, at its core, a decent interpretation of the franchise. But it is dragged down by too many small flaws and gameplay that can only be described as derivative.

The game's biggest flaw is its story, which is ironic due to the fact that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is all about its story.
