I’ve owned all 3. Here’s my 2 cents...
If you’re asking which game is the bestest, all time classic, hands down for life the best of the 3: LOTR.
If you’re asking which of the 3 id rather own today in a small to medium pin lineup: AFM
LOTR is an all time classic masterpiece IMO. But, I hope I never own or play one again lol. (Owned it for 7 years).
