Challenging but fun December 20, 2005
This is really fun! It is hard at first but as you get better moves it is easier. It is fun(and in some places a little boring especially when you fight gollum.) At the end you unlock players and go to any level. You do that for some time and then you get tired of the game. Overall Really great game that is awesome for LOTR fans.

this game is awsome. it was challenging and hard. its really cool how you can use your points from the level you beat and buy upgrades. i like the coopmode and i beat almost all of it with a friend. i just dont like the fact that after you beat the game it gives the cheat codes and then its not that fun anymore exept for the invincible code lets kids who arent that good, first time or just a little brother or sister who just sohappens to want to play, trust me i have 4 of them. the graphics are awsome and blood is very hard to see thanks to the darkness of each level. the game is very close in relationship with the movie which some games dont. i think this game is really for kids 11 and up. you might make acceptions for kids that are trustworthy. i really think this game ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! December 4, 2005
Hey, I'm a hard-core LOTR fan, so I guess i'm a little biased. Still, I've got to say, I love this game! Sure, the camera angles can get a little annoying and the game has little replaying value, but it's quite fun, while it lasts. It is also quite difficult. The Wall of Minas Tirith level really took me a while. Still, I enjoy playing this game. Back to limited replay value: this is a pretty repetitive game. To put it simply, it's all the same, kill kill kill. Orcs, Trolls, Ringwraiths, it's all fighting. Still, if you want a great game with nice graphics, plenty of action, and stunningly-rendered scenery, give this game a try!

I got this game because my freind recommended it. I've almost beat it. I just have to beat the levels after the last. I know that sounds confusing but its true. Brilliant swordplay!! Some music from the movies. It pretty much follows the Return of the King. Not totally. But, all in all, if you're a LOTR junkie, this is your game.
Well, at least this is better than Third Age! August 30, 2005

Imagination! That is the thing that is missing in games today. Oh, that's right. Back to writing! Like I said in my review of Lord of the Rings: Third Age, the thing that EA is not using enough of is imagination. Note that people! Lord of the Rings as far as I know has not had a good enough amount of thought put into it. It seems to me that they just like to throw these games out on the market just to make money. The graphics in the game have had quite a bit of tinkering done on it since the last game. Some of the characters in this game like Gimli and Legolas have had a much deserved makeover in detailing. But don't let that fool you! There is some more problems, like the chainmail links look as if somebody took a pencil to it and drew it. Another thing that is wrong is that the lips in the game when the voice acting comes in are not, I repeat, are not moving! I mean, it is pretty stupid! The good things about this game is the music {done by Howard Shore} and the tons of combos you can do. But thats about it! The physics in the game are worked out better than they were in the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, but it should be worked out even further. Oh, and another thing, this game has limited replayable value in it. But like my title says I think this game is much better than Third Age {the throw on game}. So don't think this review is all about criticism. Lets call it constuctive criticism. Over all I say buy this game over Third Age. So there you are! That's my review. Remember: "Be a customer. Not a consumer! Period."- Jake Smithers
