About this game
Unlike the Game Boy Advance version of the game , the console version of The Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies.
The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf).

There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well as small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog.
The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellen's narration.
A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy , where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses.
Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle.
The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (2004) for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (2004) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (2004), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
