I have watched LotR and I don't think it is anything like Spyro. I don't know who would think so.

I don't know.
Ask everyone who played this game, said it was LotR, and watched it.

I heard a lot of people say it was a LotR ripoff as well. I don't know if it's true or not, never watched LotR.

This game is highly overrated :/
It's a Lord of the Rings ripoff I hear
Plus a bunch of plot holes :/
