If you saw my previous interview, ignore it that was a joke. I did however pick up the guide today and saw the masterpeice inside. I'll give you a little bit of info. The first level is played by Gandelf ending the events in the Two Towers at Helms Deep. Then, you follow the events in The Return of the King. There is really not much I can tell you anymore. All I can say is get this game. IT'S GREAT!!!
One King to rule them all

This game absolutely rocks. I hate it and love it at the same time. Its levels are VERY challenging especially if you havent played one of the games before. The graphics are awesome and the movie trailers in the game are great. Any Lord of the Rings fan would adore this game. It is definately a must have.

Looks like the lord of the rings flicks have made dungeons and dragons cool again... When I got a playable version of this game I said wow! There are now nine playable characters three who are secret. The new co-op looks mint but whats the point in playing when I'm alone! The game is looking ten times better than last years hack n' slasher. The game is split into three paths. The hobbits path, the wizards path and the warriors path. I found myself running around in gondor kicking some orcs ... as Frodo while gollum agues with himself. This is the good thing about it, Say your playing as Frodo in the hobbits path and your running around don't know where to go, calm down you can easily switch paths in the middle of gameplay. Okay now I'm Gandalf shooting weird blue stuff out of his staff. Another thing has changed orcs no longer stand there patiently waiting for their turn to attack, they just gang up on you but to worry each character has a speicial attack to get rid of them. I run around slaying orcs and I see a stack of burning spears, well it would rude not to... Just press R1 and the bearded conjurer will pick out a spear and fire it at the nearest orc, You want chilli sauce with that! Well I better go before I start talking again, See ya
This game RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want great action and adventure, get this game. My advice is to also get the strategy guide. The levels may be a little challenging, but that's where the guide kicks in. You have three paths to chose from: the Wizard's, the King's, and the Hobbit's. This game also feature Co-op (two player) and online play. It is way better than the Two Towers.

While this game was little bit better than the first overall it is just average. Even my kids who are big fans of the series were disappointed. The first one completely blows so if you are going to buy one of the games you should get this one. The graphics are really good but it seems like no attension was payed to game play. Somewhat of a downer.
Great game!!

I loved this game. It was hard, but I actually thought the Two Towers game was a little harder. If you liked the Two Towers, you'll probably like this one.
one of best games ever

This game overall was very good. The graphics were good and the combat was exciting. I like how you can stab people when they're on the ground it makes it very realistic. The storyline also follows the movie very well for a vidoe game. My one big disappointment was that it took about 3-4 days to beat it and Im not one those people who plays video games 5 hrs a day. It wasn't that it was to easy because I beat on hard a second time. Overall though it was a great game and I highly suggest that you rent this game, buying it is a waste of money.
ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES IN THE WORLD

The movie was so good that I was brought to tears by how wonderfull Peter Jacksons dipiction of the books was truely magnoficent. The game is something truely remarkable, and I think that it should go down in gameing history. The two towers in my opinion was a OK game, awsome but in the end it was OK. The Return of the king on the otherhand is true art. The grahics are not as good as the Two Towers but magnificent nonetheless. And the action in the game is better than any game I have yet to play. In any level you will feel that you are in a sea of endless war and there is no way out but to fight through (sometimes endless) hundreds upon hundreds of endless orcs and creatures that inhabit middle earth. The fact that you get to play as gandalf is reason enough to enough to buy this gaming gem. Th Return of the King, also includes online multiplayer mode, where you and one other friend can play a level and fight against the evil of sauron together. It aso include Voice Chat(via the Headset) where you and the online friend can talk while playing and the vioce chat is clear and with out flaws and no other game in my opinion has better vioce chat on the web than the return of the king. ALL-IN-ALL the "Return of the King" is a gaming experience that people will remember from now on. and should have a special place in every gamers collection. Sure there will be other games, but in the gameing world "The Return of the King" will never be forgotten. Just like the movie inspiration for it.
