I wanted to enjoy this game, but unfortunately, The Lord of the Rings Gollum wasn't ready for release yet. I've encountered numerous instances where I should have been able to crouch through certain places, but instead, I got stuck at the opening, struggling to make it work. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when the timing of using the crouch locations is crucial. I've found myself trapped, floating on top of fence barriers while being pursued by fierce creatures. Only when these creatures charge through do I manage to get dislodged from my stuck position, often resulting in damage to my character. The camera view can also be problematic at times. Emerging from a crawl space, I'm unable to see what lies ahead. There have been instances where, if I hadn't slightly nudged my character forward, I would have plummeted off the edge of a cliff that I had just unknowingly approached. As for the story, it has been mediocre at best so far. While I was initially excited to play, my enthusiasm waned after starting the game. I can't say I feel compelled to relaunch the game and continue playing. Perhaps my opinion of the story might change if I force myself to persevere. Overall, I'm disappointed, but not to the extent of dissuading others from purchasing the game. I remain hopeful that a few patches will significantly improve the overall controls. Such improvements would go a long way in making the game more enjoyable for me.
I never played the Fallout games prior to the Xbox 360 version. That being said, I don't have the emotional and nastalgic attachment to the older classics as a result. Playing Fallout for the first time in 2010 just doesn't do it for me. I tried, I honestly did but I just can't get into it. I do recognize the success of the Fallout series however, so I know that it's just me but other, just like me, might find my insight helpful. So there's my two cents worth.
I've always regretted the day I got rid of my Descent games. Being able to reacquire them via GOG.com has made me a very happy man. Not only do I get to enjoy the series all over again, but I get to do it for only $5.99! That's the deal of the century! Installation was quick and painless. Thanks GOG.com for preserving such a classic!
