Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest is a game built for kids, using the conceit that an older Samwise Gamgee (voiced by the movies’ Sean Astin) is telling the story of Aragorn to a group of young Hobbits in the form of a fairytale. As such, the design is more cartoonish, the story a bit tamed-down, and the gameplay simplistic enough to be done with basic button mashing and swinging the Wii Remote.

The first in a planned line of new games from Warner Bros. Interactive based on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films is Aragorn’s Quest, which takes a whimsical, fairytale RPG slant on the life and times of Tolkien’s “king of men.” Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest is expected to arrive this Fall for Wii, PS2, PSP, and DS. Its rating is pending, but it’s being touted as a family-friendly title.
