Excellent Addition 2 the LotR Franchise
Ok, this game is terrific. I have been playing it 4 months, & am just now playing the last level. A word of warning level 11 will kill you!!! lol Anyways, this game is terrific, & in my opinion a better game than Return of the King, (which I beat a few times.) HIGHLY Reccomended.

decent 4 a beat 'em up, unplayable if you like lord of the rings
I bought these 4 my son, who likes them, but hasn't seen the films. Being a modest Lord of the Rings fan, who's seen the extended versions & the regular versions of the films many times apiece, who's read the Lord of the Rings, & read some essays & books about Tolkien; I was gravely disappointed.
I'll put up their flimsy defense first: EA had the license only from material from the films, not the books. Therefore all material used in the game could only be culled from the films or completely fabricated.
What they did do was take the material of the films, already edited & manipulated from the book & reduced & recyled even more, then added stunningly made up scenes that actually contradict what happens in its parent work. It's unbearable.
Examples:
* Many levels are complete fabrications that have no relevance 2 it's source material. The Rohan attack & the camp of Orcs in Fangorn come 2 mind.
* Dialog was created by the actors that simplifies the story. The Merry, Pippin, & Sam are seen in the video clips but not mentioned in the storyline. The remaining fellowship actively helps Frodo escape the attack of the Uruk-hai that killed that poor guy with the horn (Boromir, if you like the source material).
The game itself is similar 2 "Bad Dudes" or "Double Dragon." Graphically it's much better, but the premise, 2 kill everything, is the same. I can see it being a quick & easy way into the LOTR universe, 4 10-13 year olds, but avoid it if you're a LOTR fan.

THE BEST GAME EVER ON EARTH
YOU MUST GET YHIS GAME BECAUSE IT IS FUN. IT MAY BE EASY BUT IT IS ALWAYS VERY VERY FUN. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS VERY VERY FUN VIDEO GAME. GRAPHICS DON'T MATTER WHEN YOU ARE HAVING LOTS OF FUN.I THINK HAVING FUN IS MORE INPORTANT THAN GRAPHICS AND CONTROLS AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT PEOPLE JUDGE A GAME BY. A GAME IS MADE TO HAVE LOTS OF FUN.

Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
If you're not a LotR fan then DON'T buy this game. If you are an LotR fan than this is a MUST HAVE. Here's why:
PROS:
One word: storyline. What could be better than a nice LotR video game? The game can sometimes be addicting despite it's poor graphics. However, the game is FUN! Fight through TONS OF ORCS AND URUK-HAI, use Uruk-Hai explosives, & slay a few trolls. LotR Two Towers is begginer friendly, starting out with Isildur 2 introduce you 2 the game's controls & such. Getting bored with Two Towers is not a problem, until you've finished the game that is.
CONS:
Two Towers is hard 2 understand from an outsider's view. The graphics are HORRIBLE, & some of the levels are REALLY BORING! (Like Fangorn 4 instance). The game is short, nut same goes 4 RotK & Third Age so this is not a problem 4 most fans. Did I mention that the graphics were horrible? They could even give you a headache sometimes like after you fight in an area with NO LIGHT 4 a long time, & you CAN'T SEE AT ALL! Plus, you can only fight with THREE CHARACTERS.
HOW YOU SHOULD PLAY:
You can fight with Aragorn, Gimli, or Legolas. Aragorn & Legolas are probably the most addicting characters, but Legolas' has low health. Gimli is the strongest one, & Aragorn is a combination of each. If you are a begginer or want it easy than I reccomend you play as Aragorn. If you want a challenge play as Gimli, & if you are a FAN WANTING THE BEST FUN POSSIBLE, play as Legolas. I reccomend him as a fan & Aragorn as a gamer.
