My son loves this game--kind of difficult but it poses a gret challenge.

OK

Well, this game is allright. It defiantly isn't as cool as Harry Potter or Nintendogs (Which I can't wait to get)or Mario but it is OK. But let me tell you one thing I LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS BOOKS AND THE MOVIES! This game just didn't do it for me. The graphics are pretty cool but... I get very frustrated after playing this for a while. One reason is there are little stones always in your way, and the simplest things such as walking onto a bridge are immpossible. Also, it seems very hard to beat a level. I play this game sometimes, but not that often, only when I am extremly bored. One cool thing about it though is that you can pick what character you want to be, Eowyn, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas, Gimli etc. So out of a ten, this game gets a 4 or 5.

Best game I ever purchased!

This is a game I never get tired of playing! I love the addition of Gimli, the better weapons selection, Eowyn and Aragorn being able to carry certain axes, and Legolas's hawk attacks are more effective. The only thing I don't care for is that Eowyn wasn't equipped with the ability to stun opponents like she was able to do in The Two Towers. This made it a bit difficult to for her to fight foes and it required me to spend a lot of time getting her past level 20 so I wouldn't get my butt kicked by the Witch King! This game was filled with more exciting battles and new foes and allies. It will quickly become exciting and addicting as you make your way to Mount Doom to defeat Sauron! If you have The Two Towers this game will be a little easy to win but if you don't then you are in for quite a game. I wouldn't recommend this game for children but for avid LOTR fans, I highly recommend it!

Awesome game based on the movie.

EA's Two Towers game was highly enjoyable and fun but this years Return of the King title puts it to shame.

Gimli was added as a playable character and that makes 6 characters which can be played from the beginning. And later on Sam and Gollum can even be unlocked and played. And let me tell you, Gollum is challenging but loads of fun...

Everything from last years Two Towers game is back but better than ever. The compass is easier to read so you cant get lost, there is an auto healing function to heal easier in battle, the skills are greatly expanded, and the items are much more diverse and fun.
The amount of levels, characters, skills, and gameplay in this is staggering! There are new difficulties to play as you progress, better items to hunt for, and unlockable characters and secret levels. This game plain old rocks!

If you want a massive, fun, and great game based on the Lord of the Rings then look no further. This title is easily one of the best Gameboy games available now.

BEST GAME EVER

The other reviews I've read really don't do this game justice. I don't know about you, but I'm a complete LOTR fanatic, and it annoys me no end to see 'ogsgilioth' instead of Osgiliath or 'shilob's lair' instead of Shelob's lair. And what about "Erowyn"'s part at the Battle of "Pleanor" Fields? Oh brother. Take it from a LOTR and video game expert, this game is AWESOME. The best RPG handheld experience out there, this game features completely customizable stats, skill trees, and quite literally millions of item combinations.

There are 6 characters to choose from, each with their own pros and cons. I like Legolas for long range, "Arogorn" for hand-to-hand combat and Eowyn for speed. "gimly" is a new addition to the single-player mode, being available only in TTT's multiplayer. ROTK has hundreds of short levels based on locations from the movie, each brimming with baddies varying from "olks" and goblins to trolls and Nazgul. And don't forget the "elephants" that one reviewer found so intimidating.

This game is an improvement over The Two Towers in that there are bonus levels you can play single-player to up your character's level, and also the Ranger Hollow, which allows you to move an item from one of your characters to another, which could only be accomplished through multiplayer in TTT. A bit more reality is introduced, healing being brought about through athelas {kingsfoil-you can carry up to 2o at a time} and other such items, Legolas's special arrows being found in numbered sets instead of infinite supplies {drat!}, and a 5-point limit to skills instead of a 20-point one {drat again}. Also, items have minimum levels, meaning a level 3 Frodo couldn't use a level 6 knife. The gameplay is superior to any other action/adventure GBA game I've ever played, a straightforward go-get-'em kind of fighting. Plus, after you beat the game once, you can go through it again with your character at their present level, collect more items, and learn more skills.

What with the DS and all, I'm not sure if anyone buys this game anymore-the other reviews don't seem to have been read much. I, for one, have a DS but also have all 3 movie-based LOTR GBA games. I am waiting impatiently for a LOTR game to come out for DS......

Bottom line? This is an awesome game for any LOTR-loving gamer, whether you have a GBA, GBA SP, or DS. Infinite replay value, voiceovers from the original actors, movie soundtrack exerpts, pure LOTR action.....what more can anyone possibly want {besides the aforesaid LOTR DS game}?????

THIS GAME IS DANDY

First off this game is ten times better than two towers and fellowship. The character selection is awesome, you have a choice of Gangalf, Aragorn , Legolas, and Gimli. You can play levels like, Minas tirith, black gate, ogsgilioth and shilobs lair and paths of the dead. In Two Towers to refil your health you just hit "b" or stand still for a second, in this one you have to find herbs and packs and stuff.Aragorn is definatley the best hand to hand combat fighter. Legolas is the best long range fighter. i haven't palyed with Gimli or Gadalf so i don't know about them. Erowyn- why in the world would somebody want to play with her!!!

You can play co op mode and play with friends and fight tons of olks , trolls and elephants. The good thing about this game is that if you play with gandalf you go to Minas tirith But if you play as gimli , aragorn or legolas you go to the path of the dead and if you play as frodo or sam you go to mount doom. I especially like the third person action which they also had in the ps2 version.

Loooooovvvveeee this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is incredibly fun and an ENORMOUS improvement over the Fellowship of the Ring, which, in comparison, has awful graphics. It is a lot more pixolated. In the return of the king, you can even see people's reflections in the water and stuff. And the music is not as scrumtrulescent [not a real word] in the fellowship of the ring. And you can save 4 games instead of 1 at a time in rotk.
