I have to admit I bought this game and my Gameboy Advance for one simple reason: I'm a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan (of the books, movies, etc).

I've played this game for Playstation 2 and really enjoyed it. The GBA game is no exception. It's incredibly addicting - with loads of scenes, characters and weapons based on the Lord of the Rings films. I have played Legolas, Aragorn, Frodo and Gandalf so far and I have to say Legolas is my favorite. He was wicked with an arrow on the films and those abilities transfer very well on the game. Same goes for Aragorn and his sword-wielding abilities.

The game pretty much follows the scenarios of the film. For Legolas, for instance, the adventure begins on the foothills of Caradhras, then progresses to Moria, Amon Hen, Rohan, etc. The beauty of the game is that each adventure is geared towards the character's perspective so that what Legolas does isn't exactly the same as Aragorn's. They have their own set of challenges and paths. Each player also has his own "backpack" where he can load up and upgrade his/her tools, weapons, etc.

As a non-regular gamer, it took me just a short while to figure out how to play the game and I really enjoy this one. I'm already looking forward to EA Games' "Return of the King" game that will hopefully come later this year! I highly recommend this for your Gameboy collection!

The best Lord of the Rings Game Boy game!!!

There are 2 Lord of the Rings Gameboy games coming out for this Christmas, but I'm asking for this one. The graphics are the best, and you can even play more heroes than in the Playstation game! You can use a link cable to play with your friends too and trade armor and items you find together.

There are five heroes to play, 100 levels, 50 skills, a million random items to find, and hundreds of orcs to fight!!!

This game looks like it has a lot of action and has the best parts from the first movie (Fellowship of the Ring) and the new one (The Two Towers). I really want to play Legolas and Gandalf and take on the cave troll! My sister wants to play Eowyn, since she's a girl, but I am not sure who she is yet or if she does anything cool.

The new movie is going to be awesome, and this game is going to be the best!

This Two Towers (Game Boy Advance)

The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers video game for the Game Boy Advance is awsome! Battle is intense , and gameplay is excellent! The graphics , sound , and storyline are wonderful. It is not at all hard to control the characters you are playing as. And , you get to choose your own characters you want to play as on this game. And they are : Frodo the hobbit , Aragorn the ranger , Gandalf the wizard , Legolas the elf , and Eowyn the noble woman. All of the characters on this game look like the characters from two of The Lord Of The Rings movies. That is because this game is based on two of The Lord Of The Rings movie trilogies "The Fellowship Of The Ring" and "The Two Towers" both films directed by Peter Jackson. So this game is not based on two of The Lord Of The Rings books written by the author J.R.R. Tolkien. All you do on this great game is solve puzzles and kill thousands of enemy orcs that block your way on your journey to Mount Doom in the dark land of Mordor to destroy the on ring of power made by an evil dark lord named Sauron. Buy The Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers for the Game Boy Advance. This game has nothing but pure action , and you'll never get tired of it!

The Most Exciteing Game Ever!

The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers is going to be the best game for the Gameboy Advance. There is going to be a lot of action and fun in this game. You get to play as Aragorn , Legolas , Gimli , Gandalf , and more characters that were in the movies as well as in the books. The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers game is of coarse going to have The Fellowship Of The Ring , the first Lord Of The Rings book by Tolkien and there-for the first movie trilogy of The LOTR. Running away from the Ring-Wraiths , The Mines Of Moria , and The Battle Of Helms Deep are going to be the most intense part of this game. Fighting The Cave Troll and fighting The Balrog will be very awsome! The Cave Troll and Balrog are how-ever in The Fellowship Of The Ring part on this game , which is the first part on this awsome game. Fighting in The Battle Of Helms Deep will be an extreem part of the game. The Battle Of Helms Deep will be on the second part of this game , The Two Towers , of coarse. There will be many orcs to slain and awsome characters to play so don't miss out on The Two Towers videogame get it right when it comes out , or just wait and get it for Christmas. You can buy this game for Playstation2 , XBox , or the Gameboy Advance. If you like a game with hundreds of enemy orcs to kill , then The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers is The game for you. I'm getting it for the Gameboy Advance as soon as it comes out because I am a huge Lord Of The Rings fan. Oh , and did I mention that this game will have awsome graphics?

The Ultimate Game!!!

The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers is going to be an awsome game for the GameBoy Advance. It will have a lot of action , adventure , and fun. The first part of the game "The Fellowship Of The Ring" will of coarse be in "The Two Towers" game. You get to play as Aragorn The Mortal Man , Legolas The Elf , Gilmli The Dwarf , and Gandalf The Wizard fighting away the evil allies of Sauron , The Dark Lord Of Mordor , who soughts the one ring he lost and wants back. The Ring Wraiths , The Cave Troll , The Balrog , and hundreds of enemy Orcs will be in "The Fellowship Of The Ring" part of this game ( The Fellowship Of The Ring part being the first Lord Of The Rings book by J.R.R. Tolkien , and the first film in The LOTR Movie Trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.) Aragorn , Legolas , and Gimli will be in The Battle Of Helms Deep which will be the most anticipated part when this game goes to the second part "The Two Towers" ( which is what the game of coarse is called.)There will be more Orcs to kill than the first part , The FOTR , in "The Two Towers" part of this great game ( The Two Towers being the second Lord Of The Rings book by J.R.R. Tolkien , and the second part of The LOTR Movie Trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.) The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers storylines will focus going by The LOTR Movie Trilogies directed by Peter Jackson insted of going more along with the three books. But that does not matter! The FOTR Movie went along very well with the books and it was AWSOME! So that must mean the second movie trilogy should go along well with Tolkiens second LOTR book "The Two Towers". So that all adds up. The game "The Two Towers" should go along well with the books and LOTR Movies. I can't wait till "The Return Of The King comes out in theaters". The Lord Of The Rings Return Of The King will be an awsome movie directed by Peter Jackson and an awsome game ( when EA makes the game.) But for now I am waiting for The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers game for GameBoy Advance. And I am waiting for The Two Towers ( the second part of The LOTR ) to come out in theaters December 18 , 2002. The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers deserves 5 stars because its going to ROCK!!! I am proud to be a Lord Of The Rings fan! I have read all three of The LOTR books by Tolkien , including The Hobbit and loved them! I think The LOTR movie trilogies will all be FANTASTIC!!! And now finnally LOTR video games! YES!!!I'm getting The Lord Of The Rings : The Two Towers for GameBoy Advance right when it comes out in stores on November 15 , 2002.

I can't WAIT until return of the king!!

I have never written a review on a game before, but this game was so awesome I just had to share my thoughts.

When other people write reviews saying this is the "best GBA game ever", don't scoff at them until you've played the game yourself. Because it just might be the best. Why is it so good? Here is one reason why. As a huge fan of the lord of the rings films, one of the funnest things was recognizing dialogue, characters, and backgrounds that come directly from the films. Here are some more.

Awesome, awesome 3D graphics. I am very glad that this game was made from an isometric viewpoint. I just can't imagine going through huge places like the mines of Moria in a side-scrolling game.

The game pays surprising attention to detail/reality. (Orcs and kill eachother by accident, if you step in puddles you leave a trail of water, et cet)

The game's plot is identical to the movies The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. You start out on the slopes of Caradhras, into the Mines of Moria, to Amon Hen, Rohan, Helms deep, and much more.

You can interact and even fight alongside characters like Gimli and Legolas. The basics: You can play as five immediate characters. Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, Frodo and Eowyn. To play as Gimli, you have to be on multiplayer. As Aragorn, Legolas, Frodo and Gandalf Each character starts in Caradhras and goes into the mines of Moria. True to the movie, Gandalf's levels are a bit different as he falls into the pits of Moria and eventually fights the Balrog. As the other characters, you get out sooner. Aragorn and Legolas' levels are virtually the same, but Frodo leaves the fellowship and starts making his way to Mordor, passing through Emyn Muil, the dead marshes and so on. As Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf, the game is over after the Helm's Deep. But Frodo gets captured by Faramir at the end.

Eowyn is, in my opinion the worst and most boring character you can play as, so I'm not going to say anything about her.
Now here is a list of my favorite players in order.

1. Legolas. He has the best active skills, He is virtually unbeatable as a fighter, and he shoots long range.
2. Frodo. He isn't exactly the greatest fighter, but he has perhaps the funnest set of levels. He meets Gollum, and goes through the dead marshes, and much more.
3. Aragorn. The only problem with him is that he has the shortest reach of any player, so he has to get right in the thick of things, which can get messy. But he can wield TWO swords, which rocks.
4. Gandalf. He is probably just as good as Aragorn. He has all kinds of magic powers, which makes him a good fighter. The high point of his game is fighting the Balrog. A boss-fight which no one else does.
5. Eowyn. A boring set of levels, boring active skills, a weak fighter. Need I say more?

Not being able to play as Gimli is perhaps the only flaw. But this will make Return of the King worth buying!! You will be able to play as all the original characters plus Gimli in ROTK. To see screenshots from this upcoming game, and much more, go to www.gamespot.com

Sorry for the lengthy review, but this is indeed an awesome game and deserves much recognition.

very reallistic

This is the best game ever!!!!!!! You can be Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, Eowyn, and Frodo!! They made it feel like you were actually in it! The eye of Sauron is watching! If the eye gets to big you lose! The only two ways to get it bigger is 1. if you are Frodo you can put on the ring so if you put it on to often, the gets to big! 2.if the Crebain (crows) get away they will report you to Sauromon! If you let to many Crebain get away, the eye of Sauron will get to big!! It is my first GBA game rated T! But it rocks!!!!!!!!!!

This game is the best game ever!!! It has the best game for the GBA and It has the vioces of Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortenson, Orlando Bloom and MORE!!! If you are thinking of getting this game for PS2 DON'T!!! this game lets you have more players to choose from and the PS2 game you can only be Legolas, Gimli and, Aragorn. The soundtrack from The Fellowship of the Ring is used in it. Also if you want to get the fellowship of the Ring game for GBA I still think you should get it but if at that time you don't have enough money to buy both than BUY THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!! The grapichs are better and you can just get the fellowship for your computer and the graphics are a lot better. If you don't want to get this game becasue you haven't seen the Two Towers movie because you think that it will give the movie away IT DOES NOT!!! This game lets you basicly control the story. It still has the same characters and you still go to the same places in the same order as you do in the book and movie. You really have to get this game. IT ROCKS IT'S COOL AND IT HAS THE VOICES OF THE ACTORS/ACTRESS FROM THE MOVIE. GET THIS GAME! OH YEAH IF YOU CAN'T GET BECAUSE IT RATED TEEN IT JUST LIKE THE REAON THE MOVIE WAS RATED PG-13. IT NOT BAD!!!!!!!!
GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Video Game

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" video game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance is awsome! It has a lot of great action and adventure to offer. The game play, graphics, sound, and storyline in this game are brilliant! You are able to choose one of five characters to play as in "The Two Towers" video game. And those characters are: Frodo the hobbit, Aragorn the ranger, Gandalf the wizard, Legolas the elf, and Eowyn the fair maiden. There is also a hidden character in this game. All of the characters in it look like the characters from "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy. That is because this game is based on two of "The Lord of the Rings" movies ("The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers") [both films directed by Peter Jackson]. So, therefore, this game is not based on "The Lord of the Rings book trilogy written by the author J.R.R. Tolkien. All you do while playing this great game is solve puzzles, kill thousands of enemy orcs, and just get as far in the game as you possibly can until it's finally beaten. There are also a few bosses to fight in "The Two Towers" game. I highly recommend buy "The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers" video game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
