Mo Jie Qi Bing (Chinese: 魔戒奇兵) is a Gameboy Advance game from Vast Fame based on the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Overview
The game is best described as a Pocky and Rocky clone. It's an overhead view game that has your character going through the level while confronting hordes of enemies that get in your path. Collecting orbs that enemies occasionally drop levels up your projectile, the highest level allowing you to shoot many of them in all directions. Each level starts off with a screen taken from the Fellowship of the Ring movie with a narrative of what part of the movie the level is supposed to represent. Many of the levels however bear no resemblance to anywhere that is explored in the movie. There are 8 levels total in the game, each with two acts except for level 7. At the end of each level is a boss, most of the time not representing anything that appeared in the movie, such as a giant octopus that you fight on a raft or a giant scorpion in the desert.
The playable characters are Aragorn, Frodo Baggins, Gandalf, Legolas and Gimli.
Trivia
- After beating the game, narrative suggests the story continues and the text "To Be Continued" comes up, implying that a game based on The Two Towers movie would have been created. It is unknown if Vast Fame actually did make a sequel.
- All characters names have been changed from their original names. Legolas is now Alice, Gandalf is Glenda, Gimli is Jerry, Aragon is Shredder and Frodo is Roger.
