So Much Fun, So Many Things To Do! A Classic!!!

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (the game) by EA Games is sooooooo much fun in so many ways. From the fantastic graphics to the breathtaking story, this game will keep you interested for many hours of gameplay to come. Here is why you HAVE to buy The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for the Nintendo GameCube.

1. Gameplay: So much fun! The basic story is well...you start out on Mount Doom (in the Fellowship of the Ring. You play first through the first movie, then the second in the Two Towers. Great deal ($$$)), where u take on as the character Isiledor (don't know how to spell his name). You learn all of the basic moves: block, attack, fierce attack, etc... Then u are ready to begin your battle to destroy the ring!

Before each level u choose a character: either Legolas, Gimli, or Aragorn. Gimli is EXTREMELY strong and high on health, but is a very slow attacker. Legolas is fast, quick, with swift attacks, and very strong moves. Unfortunantly, he is the weakest of the 3, and dies much quicker. And last, but not least, Aragorn, with a swift and cunning sword, and an awsome bow and arrow, is the most balanced of the 3. Strong, a good fighter, and pretty fast, Aragorn will get u through almost any obstacle. A very good fighter indeed.

When u beat a level, it gives u points on certain things. How well u fought, your health, your supplies, how many kills u got. With the "points" u earn, u can buy upgrades for each character and boost their level up to a 10. You can sometimes buy new equipment, new moves, new powers, etc...it's really cool. And u can go back and do each level as the other 2 characters, so u can get all of them up to a 10. In the end u have an awsome fighter, and it's really cool to see a super strong Legolas fighting dozens of Orcs, or to watch a powerful Gimli cut through dozens of Orcs in Dwarf style.

As for the gameplay itself, it's sooo much fun! Battleling through dozens of Orcs, shooting arrow after arrow, and defending your other soldiers. Imagine Helm's Deep brought to life, trying to stay alive as Legolas, shooting Orc after Orcs with arrows, and using fierce attack when it they get too close. This game is a blast, and the ability to earn points and upgrade your character just adds to all the fun. The gameplay is so addicting, and I always come back within a few hours of stopping for MORE!!!

2. Graphics: While the screenshots didn't look all that impressive, during gameplay, they look fantastic! You fight dozens of Orcs, each with the horrible, menacing teeth and face, body, and the armor to go with it. Flaming arrows fly toward you from hundreds of yards away. Respond with arrows of your own! Fight off the Ring Raithes from decending on Frodo, or fight with man-kind as you battle through Helm's Deep! It's soooooo cool, and the graphics bring it to life. Don't judge it by the screenshots, just trust me. During the game, they look AWSOME!!!

3. Replay Value/ Sound: To go with all this is the voice acting from the movie it self, and the sounds are awsome. Here an arrow THUD into an enemy, or hear swords clash in a huge underground battle. The sound was fantastic, and to go with everything else, wraps this up in a perfect package. But that's not all! When completing certain challenges, u can see clips from the new movie itself, and watch even the making of the game, and interviews of the men and women who made the whole Lord of the Rings experience so fun to be a part of! Very well put together, the unlockables will keep u begging for more!

As for the replay value, it's just so much fun to go back and try to beat it again in a new game, and of course, to raise the difficulty setting (easy, normal, hard). All in all, it's a true blast! Or tryin to go back and earn more points each time!

I hope this helped, and helped convince u to pick up this incredible game. You won't be dissapointed! Through all of the awsome gameplay, the incredible fun, and the overall depth this game dives into, this is a must-have, a classic, and a game no action loving gamer should be without (not to mention any major Lord of the Ring fan).

Thx!

To start, you have to choose between Gimli the dwarf, Aragorn the ranger, or Legolas the elf, each with their own special moves, attacks, and power-ups. Gimli uses his powerful axes to attack in close range combats, and throws his axes to attack from long distances. Aragorn uses his mighty sword to attack in close range combats, and throws arrows from his bow to attack from long distances. Legolas uses his cool swords (two of them) to attack in close range combats, and uses arrows from his bow to attack from long distances. These weapons can be up-graded while you progress in the game. For example, the arrows can be up-graded into fire arrows, which give more damage. Each character has his stats in a different way: Legolas is the fastest in throwing arrows and attacking, but he is the weakest (if an enemy attacks him, he will lose more life than the rest of the crew). Gimli is the strongest, but he is the slowest of all. Finally, Aragorn is all-round, which means he has all his stats equal or similar.
Once you begin your journey, you will have to battle two mayor events from the Fellowship of the Ring: The Mines of Moria and the final battle against the trolls (at the end of the movie). The game has 12 levels, plus one secret. It is a bit short and has no mulitplayer mode, you will beat it in about 7 to 10 hours max, but the game has lots of things to return for. I would have like to play as Gandalf, but you can't. Even though you can't choose him, he participates on the battles as a CPU AI.
The game might be short for some, but the replay value is great. Plus you can unlock a secret character after beating it(Isildur). For the fans, this game is a most!!

A great rendition of the Movies and books

This is a great game, it blends real scenes from the movie into the game. Sometimes you don't even know you have started! The graphics are amazing and so is the gameplay; the controls are great and blend perfectly with the game. The levels are directly from the movie; there is Weathertop(where Aragorn,aka Strider, fights off the evil Nazgul, the robed guys) there is also Moria(where they fight the troll and Orcs)and many other events from the movie. The final level is Helm's Deep; Helm's Deep is in The Two Towers movie and it is where the Riders Of Rohan and Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf all fight the Uruk-Hai(they are the evil orc-troll things that come from the mud). Trust me, this game has amazing graphic, excellent gameplay(controls) and I recommend it. Please get this game when it comes out on January 1st!

Game of the year. must have!!

This game has you control the fighters in the Fellowship, Aragorn the Ranger, Legolas the Elf, and Gimli the Dwarf, each with their own pros and cons. This game blends movie clips and and the game itself seamlessly, and sometimes you don't realize that the level has started until you've been damaged!
I was totaly(pleasantly)suprised at the prologue to this game, in which you play as Isildur and kick some Orc booty. Oh yeah. The graphics are extremely well done, the sound is awesome(you'll be hearing the original score in the background)!! This game also treats you to countless romps with Orcs and Trolls...
You got - - Goblins
- Moria Orcs
- Cave Trolls
- Normal Orcs, and Orc archers
- Forest Trolls
- Uruk-Hai scouts, bezerkers, footsoldiers, etc.
Although the doesn't really pick up until Balin's Tomb, this game slowly eases you into each character's skills and combos so you won't trip out when you find yourself hopelessly sarrounded by the enemy. It's a must for any casual gamers, Rings fan, and hack n' slash fan.

Perfection

I love the Lord of the Rings so this may be a bit biased, but I will also give you the facts: The Two Towers a GREAT game, better than The Fellowship of the Ring (PS2) by a long shot. The graphics are excellent but can be a little bit choppy at times, goblins, orcs, Uruk-hai, Saruman, cave trolls, wargs, ring wraiths....they're all there. The good guys? Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli, and also large armies of elves and men (Helms Deep). As most people are saying, the game is on a very large scale. There are huge armies of orcs, Uruk-hai, goblins, even wargs. At helms deep, the third part, there are at any given time, at least 100 bad guys that are active and actually able to fight with. A VERY important part of the game is that you choose your upgrades wisely, some them are required in certain levels.

The Characters:

Legolas: This elf is quick, fast, and a good shot with a bow...but he lacks the strength and close combat skills needed for the majority of the game. Standing back and shooting randomly with his bow wont do much good 99% of the time.

Aragorn: This ranger should definitely be your first pick. He is fast, has a lot of good sword combos, and his bow is almost equal to that of Legolas. He packs plenty of power for hand to hand combat and enough skill to deadly from long range.

Gimli: This dwarf would be my second pick after Aragorn. He is fast (despite what other people are saying), very, very powerful with his axe, but....his throwing axes are just terrible. They go really slow, and dont do a lot of damage.

BUY THIS GAME

Incredible!!!!!!

The Lord of the Rings the Two Towers is the best game!!! You can be
Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli. Each of them have there own special abilities. Like for instance aragorn can use a sword or a bow n arrow. Legolas uses two daggers and a bow n arrow. Finally, Gimli can use an axe and a throwing axe. In the lord of the rings the two towers, u fight a variety of orcs, trolls, saruman, and other kind of Saurons minions. You can play levels such as helms deep, the mines of moria, and many other locations. the graphics are so real! in the game they show clips from the new movie of lord of the rings and u cant even tell if u are watchin the movie still or if it is time to play the game. I cant wait until it finally comes out. so i think that u should consider buying the lord of the rings the two towers for nintendo gamecube.

this game kicks your a** enter the matrix
