As soon as it came out i went and got it. My jaw hit the floor so hard its still bruised. The graphics are so awesome. A friend of mine was visiting and he thought it was the movie, until he saw gandalf who is truly a dissapointment. This game is great. I suggest that u use legolas/gandalf becuase aragorn and gimili suck for the minas tirth lvls. I lvled up aragorn and was unnable to beat minas tirth (which by the way is the sweetest battle on any movie of all time)I had to start a new game! Good luck this game is great!

The best game of ALL TIME!!!

This is the best game I have ever played in my entire life. It's fun and exciting, yet it still goes with the plot of the book and movie. If you like action and adventure, this is the definite game to get. I thought The Two Towers was good, but this is awesome. Everyone should really try this game!

tight game!

The return of the king is the best game you could wish for. The graphics are better than the first game and the fighting is great. My favorite levels are probably the last couple cause of all the moves that you have by then, slaughtering tons of orcs. Get this game!

This game is the one for hardcore lotr fans! It has absulutely
brilliant graphics and super cool extras like Hobbits on Gaming, a session of where the actors who play the hobbits talk about their skills in gameplay. There are nine cool characters, and special paths. For example, the path of the wizard is Gandlf,the path of the man is Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli. the path of the hobbits is Sam and Frodo. There are also three hidden characters.
Overall, this beautiful game deserves 5 stars.

I'm not a wonderfully skilled video game player. I rented this game before I bought it. To many bad video game purchases and to much buyers remorse. This won't be the case with this game. Exciting from beginning to end. I would highly recommend it. It has something from the beginer to something for the more advance player. There is great effects and awesome Graphics and background. I would defiently think it is worth taking a chance on.

A blast, but still not what I was hoping for

In the tradition of the Disappointing Two Towers EA's Return of the King is an action based... well... hack 'em up. Its disappoint short, with mediocre at best graphics (Sorry folks I've been seriously spoiled by games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill 3) and its story is just barely enough to keep you playing, much like the last one. The big difference is that this game contains many more characters (nine in all) and a much larger amount of missions. Not only that, but ROTK also makes up for its shortcomings with an incredibly well done two player Co-Op mode. This is a feature that every hack and slash game needs! Although the graphics are better than the lackluster Two Towers (which looked like a high resolution PS 1 game) its still not up to my expectations for a game baring the Lord of the Rings license. There is no lip movement (which is appalling with today's technology) the animation is stiff, and the game contains some issues with clipping and collision detection. Don't let these issues dissuade you from playing this game, however, without a doubt ROTK is the best game based on the Tolkein stories, period. No other Lord of the Rings game comes close (though War of the Ring is looking pretty good). This game is genuinely good despite its flaws. It is nowhere near as flawed as Vivindi's Fellowship of the Ring (which borders on completely unenjoyable) and last years Two Towers (which was fun, but defiantly not as good as it could have been).
ROTK takes what Two Towers did do right and expands upon those ideas making a highly enjoyable experience that is actually worth the price of the game (even though it is still a bit short). I appreciated being able to play as every member of the Fellowship. It's what the Two Towers was sorely lacking, and I probably would have enjoyed the Two Towers much more if the character selection had been as versatile. After actually seeing the movie I would have liked to have more missions based off of Minias Tirith, but what's there was a lot of fun.
The end of the game promises a new EA game called "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" in 2004. It'll be interesting to see how this game turns out. If the two EA LOTR games are merely "demos" of a much larger game I'm going to be very upset. If this is the LOTR RPG I've been hoping for that lets you play as all nine members of the Fellowship and follows the best elements of both the book and the movie with a deep, rich plot focused story that will take what was in the movie, and ad events, and characters that were in the book, but neglected for the film and incorporate them into the game. Here's hoping that's what EA has in mind.

Great game from a movie
