Recently came out and uses the new PS3 Move (which I just bought).
Anyone have the game or played it that could give all of us LOTR fans a review?

Hey ROK!!!
You may enjoy Aragorn's Quest with the move........ the whole novelty of the wand controller might sustain you through this complete drivel. What looked somewhat promising in the first few moments of game play as Aragorn battling at the Black Gates turned into a cartoon (a really cheeeeeeeezy bad cartoon at that!) graphics and a hobbit child named Frodo (you're Samwise Gamgee's son named after the love of his life Frodo). From the little I played, Samwise retells the adventures of the fellowship to his little hobbits & you 'pretend' to fight along with them. I wish I could pretend that I didn't get the game...... This game is just so bad the 'pretend' spiders sounds like tigers growling!!!! Save your money from getting this piece of crap. It's rated for teen, but looks and plays like a game for preschoolers, but my 5 year old nephew would be bored to tears with this.
The thing is I wasn't even interested in getting the damn game...... and then I saw it & had to have it (I blame my love of LOTR, dammit I'm weak over the power it has over me!!!). So a fool & her money was soon parted. I'm trading in the game because it's just too painful to try and play through the awful graphics, mind numbing muzak and ill suited sound effects.
The Developers of this game should be tossed into Mount Doom for their crimes against LOTR!

The game is a port of the Wii game so of course, the graphics will look crappy on a HD tv. The only review that was made gives it a 6.5 on the PS3. They say it is a simple game with a lot of fetch quests. I might get it at some point when it is much cheaper but there are so many great games to play and so little time

I appreciate your input. I'm dissapointed. After the shut down conquest I have been waiting for a replacement and I thought this may be it...other than Fat Princess (which I've grown to love...new boards, games, and characters if you didnt know)
I read that the game was created for wii and the Move controllers will not be as good because it was meant for wii.
I met the Playstation rep in Blockbuster the other day and picked up Conquest and showed him that they still sell it with no disclosure that the mutliplayer does not work as it should. He certainly understood my frustration with the servers shut down but unfortunately can not do anything...as I already knew he couldnt.. I just had to vent to someone ....lol....
Thanks again and this sounds like it may be a rental if I want to try it that bad....
