Awful,terrible game. File under 'Trash' along with the pitiful Rings of Power. Why bother with this strange game when one can play the wonderful latest Zelda game which is more Tolkienish than this effort

There's nothing wrong with feeling this way, but can you give some context? How long have you been playing the game so far to come to this conclusion? What's bothering you about it - graphics, plot, voice acting, controls? What about Zelda is more Tolkienish?

Don't think I've seen a single positive review so far.
How long have I been paying the game?.....about 3 months as a tester and I told the publishers that the game was not fit for release. What's 'bothering' me about the Gollum game?....well pretty much everything but in particular the clunkiness of the controls,the graphics,the music,the simple plot,the glitches,the feel of the game....I could go on. Why is Zelda more Tolkienish when it is not set in Middle-earth?.....well it is more Elvish in its beauty,complexity married to simplicity with flawless movement,and is brimming with ideas and inventiveness and Hyrule feels more like Middle-earth than the Gollum effort. The Gollum game is sadly it's bipolar opposite.Lord knows I wanted it to be good

I was going through a really rough time this month, so luckily the new Zelda game came out on the 12th. It really got me through some stuff. I remember first playing Ocarina of Time back in 1998 and the SNES game in 1995. Just as magical today as it was then.
Yep,Zelda is magical. Many gamers are suggesting that the Gollum game is the worst computer game ever made and although I would not stretch that far I can see where they are coming from
