The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring - Nintendo Game Boy Advance

The pixel art on the GBA screen really captures the feel of the Shire and Moria, making each area feel distinct for such a small cartridge. Controls are responsive enough for the action sequences, though the camera angle took a few minutes to get used to. A faithful little adventure that fits right

It's a solid portable RPG that actually lets you explore locations like Rivendell on the GBA screen. The sprite work for the characters and environments captures the feel of the movie, and the turn-based combat gives you time to strategize.

The combat during the early Fellowship journey actually makes you think about positioning, not just button-mashing, which surprised me for a GBA title. I've sunk a few evenings into it already and the action-adventure pacing keeps things moving nicely.
