I'm still waiting 4 the entire trilogy EA....
First off, this was the one game during 2004 that was worth playing over, & over, & over again; the replay value was amazing! The only problem I had with the game was the annoying camera angle, which allowed 4 some enemies 2 get some cheap shots on you from behind. And secondly, Ea said that they would release a game covering all three movies....Where is it?!?! O yeah... This game was great btw

This game is another Hack'n'Slash game, is pretty annoying. It has no story at ALL! Me, as a LoTR fan, find this very stupid.
The game is about just killing thousands of enemies and, sometimes, pushing buttons in the right time.
The few things I like about this game is the Pelennor Fields stage, there's still thousands of enemies, but you have a much larger area 2 run around & kill all the enemies; you'll also have 2 climb of 2 the cliffs 2 shoot at the Mamukil & bring them down (which, at the beginning, can be very hard). I also like the fact that you can play with all the characters from the Fellowship & the "combo buying system" is quite unique & cool, as you kill enemies you win points that you can use 2 buy new movements 2 the characters but is not hard 2 master all the characters.
Gandalf spells sucks a lot, they could have made lots of more cool spells with more visual effects & so on.
But the worst of this game is the Barad-Dûr level, Jesus... I cannot believe what they did... Can you imagine a hobbit beating up hundreds of orcs??? Yeah, neither do I. The final level sucks a lot also; you are ate Moria Gates in a 5m diameter circle while thousands of enemies just keep coming until the Nazgûl comes & you beat them more easily than you beat up the thousands of enemies... The Nazgûl are so lazy & easy I cannot believe!
The graphics are good & the sound is also ok. Gameplay sucks, just pressing over & over one or two buttons.
In resume:
*Buy this game if:
-You want 2 have the whole series of LoTR in your shelf,
-You like Hack'n'Slash style games,
-You'll do anything 2 have anything that haves an LoTR label on it,
-You have lots of money.
*Do not buy if:
-You expect a good & solid game with some story,
-You liked the first LoTR - FoTR game,
-You didn't liked the LoTR - TT game,
-You're a strict fan of LoTR.

Best LOTR game!
I'll make it short...One of the best games I own,great graphics & sound,doesn't get old...Plain brilliant!It improves on the two towers & its waaaay better than the third age.You get tons of characters 2 chose from once you beat the game,and I've played it over & over again 2 level up all the characters!If you want a Lord of the Rings game this is definetly the best one.

Awesome!
This game is one of the best. It has amazing graphics & great sound. The movies flow straight from film 2 game. The scenes are a great addition. They provide a exciting preperation 4 the next mission. Overall, I think this is one of the best games.

An entertaining game
Its time someone sat back & made a good honest review of this game. The one word i can think 2 describe it is: entertaining. Which is both good & bad. As far as graphics & controls & stuff its pretty good. but where gameplay is concerned it is pretty lame. The game is pretty much revolved around mashing in the A button (X 4 ps2). Although there are many characters, they have pretty much the same combat styles( A BUTTON!!!!).The best part of this game is most definatley the coop mode. ( a definite improvement over the two towers game.) There is nothing more fun than sitting down with a friend & laughing at all the cheesy glithches & combos. One final thought: the game is surpringly easy. (PRESS A!!!!!!)It is Also extremlry short & hardly follows the storly line of return of the king. Anothert final thought: if tou have not yet beaten the game you will have 2 watch all of the cinematics before each level. These are so long & boring its like watching all three movies before you even get 2 play!
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King brings the incredible adaptation of the classic Tolkien novel 2 life, on your game system!
