As far as I know...Return of the King hasn't been released yet...I was thinking would the game spoil the movie for people who played the game before they saw the movie....and is it worth spoiling the movie to play the game...
Button bashing good.

Yes i know what you'l all say, button bashing maybe, but a highly entertaining gam with incredible graphics. The feed from film to game is outstanding. Hours of fun trying to accomplish the missions with all the characters. Good for taking out that pent up anger.
The Best Game that has EVER Existed and Will Exist

This game is the Perfect game for everyone!It is much better than all Winning Eleven games together!If you had to decide between throwing all Winning Eleven games to the trash or throwing this game to the trash (you have to decide one) you should throw all Winning Eleven games to the trash. Compared to this Winning Eleven is trash, nothing.
It has great battling

IF you like fighting in videogames you should check out this game. The fighting is spectacular. You just beat down those orcs with your arrows and swords, its a really fun time. The orcs are different and have different features. Also whats new from the Two Towers version is the you have more characters to play with, especially Gandalf. But, most of these characters exept for Gandalf are unlock until later in the game which is unfortunate. It doesn't follow the movie like I thought it would. But, you can see clips from the Return of the King movie mixed in with the game. The reason i hate this game is because when your playing two player campaign you have to save on two different files and it gets mixed up all the time. The saving system is a joke. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME. It's horrible.

People who think that anything to do with the Lord of the Rings is good are twats. This is the crappest trilogy of books and films ever created. J.R.R Tolkien is an idiot to create such a pathetic set of books, and Peter Jackson is a fat wanker to create such a crap set of films. I urge anyone who feels strongly about the Lord of the Rings to e-mail me at jackd999@hotmail.com with their opinions. Up with crap, down with the Lord of the Rings

I also have the 2 towers game and this is along the same line, but you have the option of playing GANDALF (which kicks butt!), you can only use certain characters in certain areas which is a bit limiting. Over all this is a great game, and you have more interaction with the enviornment. I bought it and finished it with in about 1 week. But what else do you expect from a BEAT'em up game.
If you liked 2 towers get this, but is almost the same game.
THE BEST OF THE BEST!

DON'T LISTEN TO DANIEL DOWN THERE, THAT GUY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKIN ABOUT. SURE, MAYBE IT ONLY TAKES A FEW DAYS TO DEFEAT. BUT AFTER YOU BEAT IT, YOU CAN PLAY ALL THE LEVELS OVER USING THE SAME AND NEW CHARACTERS. EVEN THOUGH PELENNOR FIELDS ISN'T LIKE THAT IN THE MOVIE, IT IS STILL COOL. SO, IF YOU LIKE THE LORD OF THE RINGS, THIS IS A MUST GET.
Great game but not perfect

ROTK was a great game, but had some few disappointments. First, it was way too short and easy. I beat the game in 2 days. And I mean the whole game, including both Palentirs. I beat both Palentirs without cheat codes also. Second, the secret characters were a disappointment. I was hoping for Eomer, Eowyn, and possibly a Nazgul. O well. But apart from these flaws, it was a great game to play and I enjoyed it.
