Visions Of Nature - A Watery Adventure DVD

Advantages: Excellent movie and very good DVD extras
Disadvantages: Some repetition of interviews

You are unable to interact with the game but it certainly looks like a must for all computer geeks who love Lord of the Rings. I believe it is to be initially released for the PS2 and probably the PC. This snippet talks to the developers and explains how they try to stay true to the movie - the game does look very good although it seems to focus on combat. The 3-D graphics look excellent and the characterization looks superb - especially the moving eyes of Aragorn. I look forward to purchasing this. <Overall> The presentation of the DVD is excellent. The opening screen is good and the music that plays while you decide what to chose is very pleasant and relaxing... Read review

By this stage the films were creating interest in Hollywood and even got Oscar... Read review
