 A realistic review | |
| Let's get started. First off, the games graphics are excellent, character models are outstanding. The voice acting is superb, a reason for that may be it is the actual characters voices. The games controls are easily mastered. You can play as 1 of 3 characters initially, a 4th becomes unlocked after you beat the secret mission with any character. The A.I is very easily defeated, its only strength being in numbers, and the game is completely linear, meaning every time you play it is the same, and their is no kind of MULTIPLAYER(game companies, hint hint)therefore replay value suffers tremendously. It is more like an arcade action game, drop in a quarter and start killing enemies. The game can become difficult at times, and their will be plenty of instances when you want to throw the controller through the tv screen. Especially the rohan, and helm's deep levels. The games cut scenes of the upcoming movie are very enjoyable, and the interviews with the cast and artwork you can view are also great. The game is also very short, A dedicated gamer can play through the game in about a day and a half. Overall, it is more of a rent on the weekend type game rather than one you would want to pay 50 bucks for because of the lack of replay value, and the linear gameplay. Sound-5 out of 5 Graphics- 5 out of 5 Replay Value- 2 out of 5 Controls- 4 out of 5 Fun Factor- 3 out of 5 Overall- 4 out of 5 | |

| People I know that you as well as I Loved the Lord Of the Rings movies and greatly anticipate the game. My problem is that the movie has nothing to do with the game except about the story line. Just because it started out as a great movie doesn't mean the outcome of the game will be just as good. You can play the game at various stations that are beginning to pop up around the country. If you own the dvd watch the game preiview on the special features disk. I attended this year's E3 game festival and got a first hand look at the game this is what I found out. One ring to rule them all... Based on New Line Cinema's epic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy novels, The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers video games will integrate cinema and gameplay to deliver an epic interactive experience. In the game, players will be able to relive the most memorable movie moments from the first two films, "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers." EA's first The Lord of the Rings action adventure game will allow players to take control of the motion picture trilogy's action heroes: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, with other members of the Fellowship taking an active role during gameplay. In The Two Towers, players will battle a variety of Orcs and square off against vicious boss monsters including the Cave Troll and Saruman. A tactical gameplay system will encourage players to react quickly and be strategic with their selection of characters, weaponry and combat moves. Middle Earth comes to life in spectacular detail. Set in over 16 mission locations, each environment will have a close visual correlation to that seen in the first two films. As a backdrop to the action, the game will feature Howard Shore's Academy Award-winning musical score. Electronic Arts has secured the exclusive worldwide licensing rights to create games based on New Line's epic trilogy. The Two Towers will be the first in an ongoing series of The Lord of the Rings games. Future titles are currently in development and will be released on multiple platforms in 2003 and 2004. Key Features This info was given to me by a game station attendant. I give this game 5 stars. | |
