This game has the absolute worst gameplay ever, third person gameplay can rarely be amazing, and here it just plain stinks. I can't tell you how many times the camera has lost track of my player, the physics actually make the movie seem real, the character movement is so limited I feel like my hands are tied, the graphics are nice, which is a plus, but next to a whole stack of minuses. My suggestion, wait for the movie and play the card games.

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.

Too Bad About This Game

Okay I am a huge fan of the films and decided to check out the game LOTR-ROTK by EA Games, Seemed great, the price was great too!, Too bad it doesn't work, this game won't even run after being installed, I checked out some on-line support and although I have video/DX.9 installed this game still won't work. Too bad I am returning the game, so buyer beware make sure you really check out system requirements (that's still no guarantee) The only thing I've noticed is that similar writers have had this problem as well, Well here's a head's up to EA Games, take it easy on all the technical stuff guys, we just wanna play ok?

THIS GAME IS MAJOR COOL!

I got this Lord of the Rings game for Chrsitmas, and I think it is fun. One of my friends tried it, and thought it was so fun she bought one for herself! It's really hard in one-player mode, but two-player it's not quite as bad. You can play as Legolas, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Gimli, and Eowyn, plus more characters that you can unlock when you gain several levels. The only problem is that your characters lose health too quickly and too much for just one hit.

Fun

I like this game alot but i only gave it 4 stars because it only has four save slots which is very annoying if you want to play every character and dont want to delete old characters.

awesome hard game.

I've never liked any LOTR movies.But who said i didnt like the video games.The game it self is pretty hard,and its graphics aren't perfect but who *BLEEB*ing cares.It's pretty good for a GBA.It's gameplay is the same as every LOTR game.The usuall slash your opponent to death.The controls are very easy to learn.The story is a.......um........the usuall LOTR.This game is a fun game and is reccomended for all fans,and haters of LOTR.

I borowed this game from a friend, and its not quite as good as the 2 towers. You have less moves, and the two towers is easier to get used to. I like the fact that you can play as Gimli, but still, to do even an easy thing like heal you have to find a bunch of herbs and stuff. BBBBBOOOOOORRIINNNGGG!!!! I don't know how to say this but its not quite as fun as the Two Towers

Hail to the King

Basically identical to EA's GBA Two Towers which was released last year, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King for the GBA is a near excellent hack and slasher/RPG that manages to improve on just about every aspect of the last game. Playing on an isometric point of view similar to Diablo, you can initially play as Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, Eowyn, Gimli, and Legolas; each character's story takes you throughout different portions of the game, meaning to see and play Return of the King in it's true entirity you must beat the game as each character. The graphics are nearly identical to that of Two Towers, while the music, audio, and controls have been slightly improved and touched up here and there. While at it's heart the game may appear to be a simple hack & slasher, Return of the King's ability to build up your character makes the game instantly re-playable, and this is undoubtadly one of the best action games to be released on the GBA this year. All in all, Return of the King for the GBA is a must have for GBA owners who love Tolkien's world.

this game rocks!
