Pros: Characters, Special Moves, Music, Re-Play Value Cons: Could have included a few more characters from the film
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is a game that directly follows the 3rd film installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is also the sequel to the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers game. I picked this up the other day at Gamestop in the used games ...
Pros: Great game that's fun to play, now 2 player! Cons: Limited moves and combos.
After a slew of failures, we generally come to expect a movie-based game (or game-based movie, TV show-based game, etc) to be a total failure. The first game, The Two Towers, surprised a lot of us when it was actually playable. Well that game is ...
Pros: Follows LOTR story pretty much to the letter. Cons: Minimal directions in manual, poor graphics, restricted gameplay, boring levels, no exploration
I thought this game was going to be a strong, cooperative multiplayer game like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance or even Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. It is technically cooperative multiplayer, but it is not a strong game, and there are too many restrictions on ...
Pros: Graphics, follows the movies, has some great action Cons: Linear paths and lack of good level design.
The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King video game is one of the better examples of a sequal that has lots of improvements over it's counterpart. The Two Towers was all in all a good game two with hack and slash gameplay and mirroring the movie it ...
Pros: graphics, music, story, special features Cons: some special combinations are challenging to pull off
**updated & improved** Closely following the movie, "The Return of the King" doesn't disappoint. There are selected clips from the movie, which morph into the action scene that you can play. As you pick your character and path, enjoy special ...
Pros: Cooperative play, interactive levels, THX approved, more characters, follows movie plot, and unlockable features. Cons: Banes sometimes hard to pull off. On-line play for Broadband only.
When I went to Wal-Mart with my freind one day, I saw Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I saw some people playing it on a demo and I said to my friend, "Got a few bucks?" When I took it home, I was excited that there was cooperative play. The ...
Pros: Great challenge and great battles Cons: Could have made battles bigger, Should have included more characters from the movie
I have had this game for quite a few years now. Even as old as it is and even though i own myself a xbox 360, i STILL continue to go back and play this game. It is just absolutely fun. I love the Lord Of The Rings movies and the games are a very good ...
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King by colinmc413 ,Apr 23 '08
Pros: Can play up to four players. Cons: None
I don't usually play role play games like Lord of the Rings, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It probably helped that I was already a big fan of the movies, but I think I would have liked the game regardless.
The game plays up to four players, which was important to me because I'm not a person that can sit by myself and play a game for an extended period of time. Another positive was the game was easy to figure out and operate. There were several different levels, and I could choose my level of difficulty to play at. I played the game on PS2, and at the time the graphics were solid. If I had to complain about something I found the last bonus levels were nearly impossible. Overall, the game is unbelievable and arguably my favorite game. I would recommend this game to anyone, especially fans of The Lord of the Rings.
The End to a Good Trilogy by joey_13_1998 ,Jan 05 '04
Pros: Excellent Gameplay, Graphics, Follows the story line of the movies. Easy controls to learn. Cons: A bit of loading times.
The Lord of The Rings: Return of the Kings, is by far the best Lord of The Rings game out on the market. It has superb gameplay. It follows the actual story of Lord of the Rings. There are many options. You get to play as Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, Sam and Perry. You can upgrade your attacks with experience gained during the levels. The game is also co-operative multiplayer. Which I find cool because you can kick some orc butt together. I would highly recommend this game to people. I rented it once and then have rented it many times after because it is such a good game. It has 3 levels of difficulty, to make the game playable for any level of gamers.
Best Movie-Based Game Ever by ieatskunk ,Mar 01 '05
Pros: Sound effect, graphics, character voices, three story lines! Cons: Once you beat it you will want MORE and MORE and MORE.
This game totally rocks. I'm talking about EA's Return of the King game. I dunno where epinions got that picture from, but it doesn't match my game though i know of no other ROTK game for PS2. If u have ever doubted that someone could make a game that is as awesome an experience to play as it was to watch as a film, then u need to check this out. One of the best things about the game was that it gave more of the story to you. Myself being one of the many who never bothered to read any of the books only know what we have seen, and this game fills in some gaps. After the release of the ROTK extended edition for DVD it became clear where a lot of this extra stuff came from. Great sound effects, real character voices, music from the film, and great levels make this one of the best games i've ever played. The challenge levels once you beat the game add more fun times.
I have had this game for almost 2 years, and I still love it. It is the #1 game I play. It's fun, challenging, adventurous, and just awesome. When you play, you can unlock interviews with the cast of LOTR. That is a great reward to all your hard work. I love the interviews, they are really funny. Once you finish the game, there are still two "bonus" levels, and you get access to the cheat codes. I bought this product because I was very satisfied with the first and second Lord of the Rings games. If you own the first or second, this game is so much better. There is nothing I hate about this game, it's all great. It's got awesome graphics, mind-blowing game play and impressive combos. If you love The Lord of the Rings, this is a must have for you.
