I don’t understand why everyone’s so upset. This looks incredible for a PS2 game!
💀
No it doesn't
@Dio-xo9rv When did I say PS2 games looked like shit?
Well u cant play this on ps2 console
@Dio-xo9rv It does. It looks like an early-00’s game. That’s the joke.
There are TONS of people that can do a perfect impression of that Gollum voice, they couldn't find a single one?
Andy ain’t dead they should’ve cut him a check!
@@blackleague212 please dude this game was made in a year on a budget of $5 and a tuna sandwich. they couldn't afford him even if every single member of the team sold their kidney.
Bro i would have taken that paycheque, gollum voice is literally my best impression
you know peter jackson didn't invent gollum right? not every adaptation of gollum needs to sound like andy circus. this game is shit but so many of the criticisms i see people make just boils down to people expecting an adaptation of the movies, instead of the books (which is what this game got the licensing from, the books, not warner brothers)
Do you understand how licensing works? Warner Bros owns the original elements depicted in their version of Gollum (the voice, specific movie-only mannerisms, whatever). This is not Warner Bro's Gollum, and legally it could not be. The game was bad, but come on dude use your brain lol.
The fact theres no background music or ambience makes all this even more cursed
they didnt have the budget for it 🤣
@@cdel4391 You need no budget to create background Ambience. Just add some slow drone & wind sound from any music software and it's done lol.
I was just wondering if I set my phone on silent before I read your comment lol
it is a masterpiece, you truly get to feel the solemn boredom of being a gollum.. just silence mixed with constant muttering and heavy breathing
It's somehow considerably more cursed than all the old cartoons combined.
😐
"Must get out of the light!" *walks straight towards a beam of light shining on some flowers*
Ah yes my favourite Lord of the Rings character, ‘Candle Man’.
More believable than some demi-god named Talion
@@brandonsmith9098 shadow of war shits on this though
Shadow of War is a better game, this is more faithful though
@@TheDanovicYT No. It shits on Tolkien's lore is what it does.
@@brandonsmith9098 true….still a better game though
I have to admit-the voice of the Mouth Of Sauron is literally the only good thing in this game. His voice is so smooth and relaxing yet sinister and evil.
I personally also found his design interesting, even though the mouth part is very obvious
I mean his teeth collar is pretty cool too
He's still a worse design than the movie's version in EVERY conceivable way.
@@NarwhalEntertainment😂true af
It's a role for Rami Malek
this is straight up comedy, can't believe that actually continued with this game lmfao
beneath the multiple layers of bad execution there's a good idea - Sauron is quoted as doing a lot of politicking to corrupt the men of middle Earth, and it'd be cool to see it happen.
I know right? We should’ve gotten a third shadow of Mordor !

Imagine if Tolkien was around to see his works adapted into trash like this....
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them
🤣🤣🤣🤣 And you think that a man born and influenced by previous centuries would be keen on films and video games? Even IF he was you are going to let bastardizations like Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War pass by because they had "good graphics and game play" yet completely bastardized Tolkien's lore? Okay....sure......
@@brandonsmith9098 thank you.
@@brandonsmith9098g
@@SneedtheAlmighty Uh. No. Good gameplay is second if you don't have an appealing story and especially if you are trying to craft a story that is set within a well established legendarium. Also, ripping off Rocksteady's Batman Arkham combat and gameplay doesn't make it "good gameplay". Do you know it is "shit"? Have you played it? Or are you just regurgitating what you see on the internet? That seems to be a common thread in virtually all media and entertainment these days: letting other people think and judge things for you instead of judging things yourself. Which even then that is going to be subjective.
So Sauron just wanted to offer Gollum a drink? That doesn't sound so bad.
Since it’s Sauron, I’d imagine he drinks poison berry wine in an obsidian wine cup with a little umbrella. Unopened. (Cuz he evil)
Plot twist: it was Bud Light

Peter Jacksons lord of the rings stands alone because of the passion that was within the project. I truly believe now there is no level that will reach that..
It doesn't stand alone because the movies from 1977 and 1978 were both very soulful.
This game had the ideas, it just was poorly executed. But no one should be lynched because of it. Nintendo releases unfinished games all the time and get away with it.
@@fabiomgm1293 "Nintendo releases unfinished games all the time and get away with it."
No kidding. When big developer releases some shitty unfinished product, people are "muh poor developers. Game developing is expensive."
@@valder8423 I think presently we are in an age of entitlement. Audiences believe they have an infallible stake in franchises and that supercedes something like passion or support. And they believe that they are to be provided for as a consumer. That's not how art and entertainment works and these myopic fanatics don't understand that. There's such a thing as criticism. I'm all for it. But when the driving animating force of that criticism is preconceived notions of hate and anger over the fact that it wasn't "something they asked for". It automatically becomes invalid.
@@brandonsmith9098 By that logic, any criticism can be construed as hate
@@Arander92 No. Criticism: The game's performance is bad (point out logistical errors, crashes, bugs, etc.)
Invalid criticism: No one asked for this game. It's not what *I* want. *I* don't like the art design.
Well, that's one way to design the, Mouth of Sauron
It doesn't look that bad tbh. Weirdly enough it seems kinda authentic to the lore and his clothes seem inspired from popular depictions of Harad outfits.
@@lamogio7938 The game has a very interesting design. I'm all for new, unique aesthetics creators can bring to Middle Earth.
@@brandonsmith9098 Unfortunately for them, I don’t think this artstyle has exactly what I’d call mass appeal, nor would I call it lore accurate whatsoever. The art style and armour for the films was perfect.
@@pyrrhusofepirus8491 That's your opinion, but remember the films are not the final say in Middle Earth aesthetic. They work for film adaptations, but video games are not about copying and pasting from films and vice versa.
@@brandonsmith9098 due to the fact they’re *the* most popular fantasy films ever, they kinda are. When people imagine LOTR they don’t imagine these weird af outfits with bizarre armour, they imagine the films, or the books, which is pretty much mail because it’s a story heavily inspired by Northern European myths and stories. If we consider lore accuracy, then the films are the best when it comes to representation, not being too fantasy while clearly being fantastical.
The Mouth Of Sauron in the films in menacing and creepy, this one just looks weird.
Im actually amazed that after Christopher Tolkien's death, the entire Tolkien estate was sold off to make shitty videogames, mobile apps, trading cards, tv shows, and other forms of actual trash. The people who allowed this should be ashamed. It competely shits on J.R. Tolkien's and Christopher Tolkien's legacies.
How are you amazed? It's pretty expected at this point. No one cares
@@WolfanTerror Plenty of people care. Christopher Tolkien was very protective of his father's legacy, and there are many fans who heavily dislike the cash grabs and saturation of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. Companies will just do anything for a quick buck

This is the most detailed DS game I've seen, truly a marvel how they did it.
It's okay. We still have Shadow Of Mordor and the OG games.
And LOTRO
What about shadow of war 😂
@@SpecialOrder935 Same umbrella.
@@SpecialOrder935 in LOTRO you can join saurons side which is epic and more humanly, because the game gives you the freedom to choose your own side, not everyone wants to be forced to play the "good guy" forever, the lord of the gifts is a very generous and good ally, ask saruman he gaisn so many free troops and there was no betrayal between this two tower alliance.
@@zombos22222
I never played it , but there absolutely is betrayal between the two towers (at least in the book side of things )
Was LOTRO a true RPG then ? Create your own character, region of origin etc etc ?
Candle Man? Great name for a villain, right up there with the Matrix Revolutions baddie "Train Man" ...who, funnily enough, was played by the same guy who was the Mouth of Sauron in the Peter Jackson movie.
Thank you for saving me $70
As if you were thinking of spending $70 on this at any point anyways 😂

5:31 I’d refer to that as my “Smile Suit”.
This is incredibly fascinating as an artistic take. I think in some weird way it's incredibly faithful to the books - the way you've got these robed officials in Barad Dur plotting and scheming on behalf of the Dark Lord. It reminds me of the descriptions of Barad Dur in the books having all these, "courts and chambers." But for what? There were lots of interesting hints that the upper machinery of the Dark Lord's dominions were very sophisticated.
The Mouth of Sauron is genuinely amazing. You've got the Nine in sedate robes and armor, and then the Mouth shows up with this giant jaw-collar thing like some bizarre pseudo-cenobite. Sauron must be giggling whenever he sees the poor bugger.
Doesn’t make up for the game being poorly made, im glad this small detail was able to connect to what you’ve read, but this is an unfinished product that is being sold to people for so much money. So out of respect to the people that were scammed into buying this and for Tolkien’s work, don’t let yourself be scammed by this terrible game,

Better writing than the entire plot of the game
For a second I thought sauron was going say; Overnight ship the molar engine at once so I can complete the tooth ship and return to my enamel condo on Tooth Planet.
You're insane wongburger!
Yes, I know that!
One good note on this game is that, atleast it was faithful to the books and timeline of LOTR. With the exception of making Sauron the eye (if they didnt do that, it would of been amazing lore wise). Gollum did get imprisoned in Mordor by Sauron and his telling of the Shire and Baggins is what started the War of the Rings. He was personally allowed to live by Sauron because Sauron, being a Maia, felt Gollum had a part to play in the world. He was caught by Aragorn and then sent to Mirkwood and from there escaped and got lost in Moria, where he would then meet the fellowship as we see in the movies and book. Overall, they did a good job at making their story not interfere with pre-existing lore of Tolkien's world. Unfortunately the story sucked but nevertheless points where they're due!
Hoping for a War of Angmar game in the future.

When they used that line in Infinity War they even emphasized how stupid it was.
I sincerely have dreamed for years to know the social infrastructure of Barad-dûr inside, I have read and studied a lot on the subject from different sources. Removing the details of this unfinished game at a high price, I really liked the first part, I hope I have more of this, a series or something, life inside the Dark Tower is so difficult, subject to so many supposed allies who only want to rise through you, so many religious politicians protecting the interests of the dark lord.

@TheGuyWhoWantsHelp. You just don’t understand how this is a masterpiece
Why does the mouth of sauron look ai generated
"Must get out of the light" *runs to the most lit object in all of mordor*
Definitely one of the games of all time
That's not Sauron it's Sauron's mouth or more likely Sauron mouth's head 🙄🤔
Sir Tolkien must be looking from the Halls of Mandos screaming in agony the Darkness has twisted and corrupted his creation might as well just call back Melkor and start the Dagor Dagorath.
>"Must get out of the light"
>immediately heads towards the light
Mouth of Saroun and the Candle man look like the pre-style of Dune
Gollum deserved better, was a interesting concept game, even for a important character like him.
If this game had the quality of shadow of mordor but without the bullshit nonsensical powers thats desrespect the Tolkien's lore, and without the discount Aragorn named Talion, it would be perfect.
A gollum game has potential tbh
Devoid of the context of LOTR, shadow of Mordor/War we’re both very good games, at least I thought so.
I love shadow of war
Talion is a beast
Nonsensical powers?
You know this Lord of the Rings, right?
Also, put some respect on Talions name.
Don't know why you disrespecting Shadow of Mordor like this.
Just give us Shadow of Mordor 3…I hope this game did not ruin those chances 🤦🏼♂️
Or just stop making Lord of the Rings media. We got three masterpiece books and three masterpiece films, let's just stop.
@@burchie1224 so Hobbit (book and films) and Silmarillion are not masterpieces as well?? Both Shadow of Mordor games have been highly successful and profitable as well, and with the vast untold history of Middle Earth as a whole, there is no way companies are going to “just stop” 🤦🏼♂️
Franchises like Star Wars, Marvel and DC, as well as James Bond and so on would not be as highly popular and beloved if they “just stopped with a few successful entries”…
@@collegebro85 Two things. One, the Hobbit movies are definitely not masterpieces. The book, yeah, you got me there. Two, I would look at the current state of Marvel, DC, and Star Wars as perfect evidence of both franchise fatigue and decline in quality. I know it's simply not going to happen, but I just wish we could stop rehashing stuff that's already been done perfectly and just move on.

Gollum was under the misty mountains for years and only left to find the ring.
Ummm. No this was from fellowship of the ring. Gandalf talks about it. Read the book. Afterwords Strider and handle spend a couple of years looking for Gollum to learn about the ring after Frodo takes possession of it.
Strider and Gandalf*
Wow. I had forgotten how good the PS3 graphics were.
Im the mouth of sauron.....thee thus thyself thee thy thus .
Man gollum really needs an inhaler or somethin
Meanwhile Talions on the black gate with his family…
Tolkien be rolling in his grave knowing his work has been adapted into crap like this and rings of power
The only thing that's poorly designed in this game is Gollum. All the other characters like Candle Man and Mouth could have be used to great effect, but everything is just dragged down by gollum.
I don't agree. Everything is horse shit. The voice acting, the ugly B-movie characters. Everything looks like a shitty version of The Sims
The mouth of sauron seems fine design to me too. They cant all look like the peter jackson dude. Sauron ran a fairly conventional state with his servants.
Your comment makes me think this may be another case of a sudden change of production direction mid-development.
plus the...''gameplay'' ruins it more.
Lol i love the Star Trek Hallo deck noise when he touch the flowers, vintage.
thats like a game you'd get for free inside your cereal box
The design for the mouth of Sauron is really good
imo it looks shit
It’s like they literally made him the mouth of sauron.. the top of the suit being rows of teeth
His face looks like Corey Taylor's Gray Chapter mask.

Look how they murdered my boi
All I've come to say is that Gollum's model is awful af looks like Fortnite Collab but even for a Fortnite Collab is terrible
we should have seen Sauron in person.
Right, the whole point of this part of the legendarium is Sauron in mannish form, actually physically torturing Gollum with his 4-fimgered hand. If you do this game and miss out that detail..... well its like Jaws without the shark.
Mouth of Sauron’s armor giving me trypophobia.
I'm confused about why the first whole segment played twice
This game is basically that game where you run around as a monkey whatever it’s called. Wtf are they thinking all this potential and we get a gollum game and a dwarf sims game that is coming wtf. Shadow of war is great even if it’s not entirely accurate apparently it’s entertaining . I’m glad I found that game.
Sauron's voice acting is pretty good. The Mouth isn't too bad but I'm not a fan of his character design.
"Who is this Sauron character?", said Gollum calmly.
Gollum sounds like kreacher from Harry Potter
Wait this is an actual game?
Yes it just came out of it's coming out soon.

@@YodaOnABender listen to how Sauron said “build me an army worthy of mordor” in fellowship. How did he go from that to a Harry Potter sounding villain
I really like this version, you can hear fire in the voice. With Benedict is more like a shadow or a twisted wraith.
@@YodaOnABender Cumberbatch's impression is exactly what you describe it to be. Generic deep villain voice. Compare it to saurons lines in original trilogy, sooooo much better.

Jeez... this would be bad even for a PS2 game...
My PSP VITA had better graphics then this
why is gollum so hairy?
This creation could be an effort to sketch & influence possible future characters.

Still better than rings of power
setting the bar pretty low there
Strongly disagree. As a person who can find something to enjoy in about anything, thisb shit is about as bad as it gets
not even close, this game feels like an absolute disaster. id rather watch rings of power ten times over than play a minute of Gollum
Stfu no way lol
Oh look another Rings of Power hater who probably never even watched the show! STFU
I always imagined Mordor as being totally chaotic and squalid, and pretty much hell-like. But here we have these eloquent dudes Mr Mouth, Candle Man and "Wizard" politely discussing events in front of what appears to be a scale model of some potential battle zone. The beetle bits were oddly cool and imaginative though.
Doe he use his classic spin kick move when he's in night vision mode?
Wait now there’s multiple Mouths of Sauron? And I thought the Mouth of Sauron in the Jackson Trilogy was blind? Are there Ears of Sauron too? I wonder what goofy design The Nose of Sauron would look like…
In the book and in Peter's Jackson movies there is only one mouth of Sauron.
Multiple mouths of Sauron? What?
And not everything has to abide by the Jackson trilogy
There is little to no physical description of the Mouth of Sauron so Peter Jackson took a lot of creative departures. He even considered making the Mouth of Sauron a woman at one point. The Mouth of Sauron is basically an emissary. Hence the title "Mouth", I hardly think nor see the need for other titles based on appendages.
the anus of sauron is next
There is only one Mouth of Sauron in the game. Candleman, the Witch and Candleman 's daughter are his subordinates.
Uh, Sauron didn't appear?
The eye of Sauron was there. That's all he is at this point in the story.
@@johno1544 except that's not true. While sauron doesn't appear in the story. The idea that he was just a big flaming eye is a concept fabricated by the movies, Sauron still very much has a form in the books (although weakened)

This looks like ps3 graphics.
Tolkein spent his life world building middle earth and creating many languages and rich history just so you can play as gollum

No lets make a game about golum and make it look like it was ment for ps1… f*cking toystory have better graphics
Because games and developers only need to make games you want? Gollum is very important to the history of Middle Earth and the story of The Lord of the Rings. Just because you don't find something appealing or interesting does not mean it is universally accepted as being worthless.
