Return Of The King

I being a huge fan of "The Lord of the Rings" movies and video games, cannot wait for this game to be released. Basically, if you liked "The Two Towers" (which was released on all systems), you will love "The Return of the King"!! This game will have three major story branches and up to 9 or 10 playable characters (some being secret characters which you will have to unlock). In this game you not only play through one strict story line what ever character you choose, you now can play as Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee and follow through their footsteps, the player can lead an army through the Dead Marshes as Aragorn and in doin so, raise the army of the dead, and the player can also play as Gandalf the White(about friggin time) and slay orcs on the walls of Minas Tirith. Just about everything from Two Towers has been improved and put into this upcoming game. Probably the newest feature I am most excited about is the new Co-op mode. That's right, now two people can play through the game together(they should have put this in "The Two Towers)!! And also just like almost every single sequel they have improved the graphics greatly. I hope this review was helpful to you.

The Return of the King will be even better than the first

The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King will be even better than the Two Tower,and the Two Towers was one of the best games I've played. You will be able to play as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli just like before, plus you will be able to play as Gandalf the White, Frodo, and Sam! There will also be 2 secret characters to unlock. There will also be 12 or more misions and three story branches. Some of the missions include Osgiliath, Pelennor feilds, Minas Tirith, Shelob's lair and even Helms Deep in the morning when Gandalf comes! There will be tons of enemies including Orcs, Uruk-Hai, Trolls, Beasts, Evil men and many more. There will be many bosses including Shelob and the Witch King of Morgul (the leader of the Nazgul or Ringwraiths). It will also have a two player co-op mode. So if you loved the Two Towers, then you MUST GET THIS GAME! It will be worth it!!!

Lord Of The Rings Rules!!!!!

Lord Of The Rings 1+2 were the best movies + games I've ever seen/played. After seeing the game preview I knew I needed this game. If you liked the Two Towers then you're sure to love this one. I also know the Hobbit is coming out, but I don't recomend it [it looks childish]. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan or not you're sure to love this game.

Special features include

- More characters then the last game

- 1 or more players

- Harder, more challenging levels

- More levels and bosses

One video game to rule them all...

The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers was a big seller last year. The Two Towers was one of the first GOOD movie adpation to video games. But like every video game it had some problems, such as no co-op, wheres Gandalf, Frodo and Sam; and of course the game needed the environments to be more interactive. Now, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King sequel will fix up all the patches from the first game. With playble characters like Sam, Frodo, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas and of course Aragorn will help you adventure though middle earth. Also, the game will feature 12 enviroments and secreat characters like Pippin, Mary, and Farimir. Last, the game will have such bosses like Sauron, the witch king and of course Shelob. So good luck, and may the battle for middle earth be a victory.

What a Mess

This game SUCKS. The first four stages involve fighting the armies of the dead (e.g. ghosts) from a severely distant camera angle, and the lighting is so subtle and arbitrary that you cannot tell when the ghosts are invincible and when you can hit them. You also can barely tell who is who during co-op mode because the camera is so far away. I loved the Two Towers game and beat it using all 3 characters, and I am unable to progress at all in this one, even in easy mode. I do not understand why the developers took such a dramatic turn in the gameplay here. It's an incredible disappointment. If I wanted this kind of nonsense I could have just gone to Lucas(f)Arts.

This game was worth the wait

Ecept for Jedi Outcast, The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King is the best game I've ever played! The graphics are great and the gameplay is too. I got it the day it came out and it took my 4 days to beat it(though the levels are much harder, which is a good improvement.) When you beat the game, you unlock Merry, Pippin and Faramir as playable characters, along with the a ton of interviews and a secret level. In it you have 3 paths, the path of a wizard, path of the king and the path of the hobbits. the 15 levels include: Helm's deep, the black gate, crack of doom, minas tirith, the paths of the dead and many more. All of the bosses include: King of the dead, The witch king, Shelob, 3 ringwraiths, a strong orc (I forget his name), Gollum, siege towers and Sauron's lieutenant. If you get this game and you have trouble with a level, keep trying, you'll beat it sooner or later. So if you liked the two towers, you must get this game, it's worth it!

PS. I have not played the multi-player co-op mode with a real person, but I plugged an extra controller in and looked at it, and it does look good!

This is what all the hype was about?

The graphics are great, but the gameplay suffers because of the emphasis the designers placed on the graphics. Some problems with camera angles as well (camera zooms out, your character looks like a tiny blip in a sea of blips) The Two Towers was a much more solid game, good graphics AND gameplay. Too bad EA strayed from the path. "If it aint broke dont fix it"

this game is more better than the two towers

The Return of the King game is awesome! I've played the single player and the co-op, and they are both fantastic!! I love all the character choices you have. I have not had a problem with camera angles being too far away. I like being able to see the entire battle scene instead of just what's right next to me. Basically, I LOVE this game, and I'm totally addicted to it! GREAT JOB, EA!

one of the best games ever

I just got this game and it's cool. The game is similar to the second but you get to play all the characters. The game is also hard but not that hard. You can pick which difficulty mode you want, theres easy, normal, and hard. The game is a must have for any fan and extreme gamer. The only flaw is the price of the game. Its just too much but worth it. If you are the gamer that doesen't like the price you may want to wait because the game will lower it's price pretty soon because the secon game is already lowered its price.
