Gave this as a gift and the kids still play them all the time. Im not a huge console game fan (I'm more of a PC FPS player) but my nephews love these and said to rate them four stars! I gave them the whole LOTR set along with the Hobbit.

A blast, great gameplay.

I ove being able to choose different characters and have special attacks. It challenging and fun. The controls are simple and the graphics are as good as one could expect. I really liked the cutscenes that were actually part of the movies.

This is the best game ever! You first start the game as Icealdor fighting
millions of Orcs and Goblins.After a couple minites the DARK LORD SAURON
will apear.Then you will notice Icealdor cutting SAURON in half.The saddest part in the game is that Icealdor refuses to destroy the ring
of evil.After SAURON is defeted you start going foward in time about
3000 years When the hobbit Frodo Baggins is given the ring so he can destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom.But the hobbit had one fear,
Naziguls. But help is near!And that is when you start the 2nd Level
as Aragorn saving Frodo`s [...] from the Ringrauth`s.I need to poop!

one of the best games on the planet

this game (...) rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you can play it 3 times since you can take each character through the boards if you wish.the characters are the elf,dwarf and strider from the movie.as you advance levels you can get points for how effectively you killed the monsters.then you buy cool moves after each mission.an example move might be like "from a lying posistion spring up,swing hitting everyone in range then drive your sword into one guys guts killing him."its so cool!on some boards there are literaly hundreds of monsters coming after you.so all in all its like if someone took d and d,made mortal kombat like fighters with the characters then through them in to a star wars battlefront like situation.its totaly cool and definarely within the top 5 maybe 3 games ever invented!

Very cool

If you are a huge LOTRs fan and will buy anything that has lord of the rings written on it then you should buy this especially if you like video games. I first bought this when I went on a shopping spree for Xbox games, and I thought, I like the books, movies, why not? It blew me away. (However, if you hated the movies go somewhere else because this game is based on the movies). You can play as either Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli. There is a also a bonus level where you play as a bonus character, I haven't beaten the game yet so I don't know who it is. Now this is a cool game but it can get a little tough at parts because you get surrounded by orks, the only other thing that irked me about this game was that you really can't explore, if you go off the path you just run in place. And you really want to explore too because there is great graphics. Does anyone know who the bonus character is? I'm thinking it might be either Frodo or Gandalf. Have you ever been playing a game and the voices of the characters are really high pitched or just plain crappy? Well don't worry, they got the actors from the film for the voices, really cool. Plus as you go along as you beat levels they unlock interviews with the actors and makers of the game. Great game, except for a few things this is awesome, if you like LOTRs buy it.

This game is all that I expected and even exceeded some of my expectations.

The graphics really are great on the Xbox. The intertwined movie clips play nicely and I like the effect of going from movie to animation to the game. Very cool.

Regardless of what you want to hear, the game is repetitive. It is nothing more than button mashing your way through different levels. But that is OK. I knew this was what I was buying. Those that are calling this a role playing game are just mistaken. A role playing game is Morrowind where you can advance in multiple skills and classes. In this game, all you do is level up and buy new methods of killing. There are no skills to advance, there are no other stats. Actually, there are no stats at all. Only health. But again, that is OK. I knew this going in.

I bought this game for $10 used and frankly, couldn't be happier. The game looks great, the sounds are cool, and the clips from the movie fit in nice.

Just don't buy it thinking it is a role playing game, you will be disappointed if you do.

One of the best games ever!!!

I am a LOTR fan and I love this game. It makes you feel like you are in the story. When you begin the game it first shows a short clip of the movie. You then begin fighting as Isilder.(Note that the begining levels are from the fellowship.) After that you are Aragorn and you fight the raiths on weathertop. Through the rest of the game you can choose to be Aragorn, Gimli or Legolas. When you finish a level your fighting points add up and you can purchase new moves and weapons with them. the graphics are amazing and look a lot like the characters. Some levels can be hard but you can choose if you want to play hard, medium or easy.The game follows the story line well. Some things are added but without it the game could probably be beaten in a hour. most of the game has you killing orcs, uruk-hai and trolls but what else are you going to do, look for hobbit footprints and talk to everyone. In basically evey X-box game you are killig something. At least there is no blood. Overall, this game is wonderful. I would recomend buying this game if you want to have a blast. I think this is one of the best games ever.

I can't believe how fun this game is!

'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' is an awesome game for the Xbox! The graphics, sound, and gameplay are all incredible! The plot in this game follows very closely to 'The Lord of the Rings' movie trilogy and the cut-scenes are wonderful to watch. 'Two Towers' is an acition-packed/hack-n-slash game that is very fun to play and is extremely addictive. I highly recommend you buy 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' video game for the Microsoft Xbox!

3.5 stars, because it's too hard!!

I am playing this game on easy and I have gotten through most of the levels without trouble, but now I am on the Breached Wall, the part where the orc runs into the wall with the bomb strapped to him and blows the whole thing sky high. Then you have to sit there by yourself and kill about ten billion orcs, some with bombs and some with shields. After that (if you even make it that far) a catupult will come in. No matter what I do, it takes out the door. I can't even destroy it fast enough, it just sits there and shoots at the door and then it breaks and I have to start the whole level over again. I have gotten so frustrated that I am not even going to play it anymore, that's how bad it is. Other than that, okay game i would probably rent it because of the short length.
