I picked up Aragon\u2019s Quest<\/em> a few weeks ago because it was under $20, and I am a sucker for discounted games. I was also interested in the Move support, but unfortunately the controls are on par with a Wii game, not something I have come to expect for Move support (i.e. Sports Champions).<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other reviews out there, so I am not going to take a deep dive or anything. As a family game, is this fun? Sort of. As a Move game, is Aragon\u2019s Quest<\/em> worth a pick up? Nope; after a few hours of honest to goodness attempts to make things work, I abandon my Move and Navigation controllers in favor of the standard Dual Shock 3. If you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, Aragon\u2019s Quest<\/em> has some entertainment value, but you may want to wait until the game hits the sub $15 mark.<\/p>\n

For the most part, I enjoyed my time with the game, but as I moved into Trophy whoring<\/a>, the game quickly became a chore. If you are going to go for a Platinum Trophy (I earned mine this morning, thus this post), you better follow a guide<\/a> because the game can screw you over<\/a> in a hurry, forcing an additional play-through.<\/p>\n
