Video Game Reviews of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best two player game I've ever played. In the dark, on a big screen TV, hooked up to a good stereo, just adds to the excitement. The graphics are great also. I would recommend going on-line and printing out a faq (help/walkthrough). Some parts are tricky- like the level where you have to run out of the place before it falls down. Not only do you have to know where your going, but you have to wiggle the directional button back and forth while your going forward so the bolders don't stop you as much. So now that you that, you may have even more fun than I had! Look up how to beat Golem also- push, hit, kill move!Customer Review: Cool idea but way too hard
Summary: 2 Stars
My husband and I LOVED the Lord of the Rings movies, so we couldn't wait to play the game. We wish we'd never heard of it. Both of us find the game much too hard, to the point that the game is irritating, rather than fun. It's neat to be able to be Gandalf or Aragorn or Frodo, but even when playing the most powerful characters, we have to play the same scenario over and over and over and, well, you get the idea. This game could have been awesome, but as it is, my husband and I wish we hadn't bought it. (If you are 10 years old and have really fast little hands, this may not apply to you. :-))Customer Review: Fun, exciting and fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is great! It's just likeyou're actually in the movie or book. It's just like theTwo Towers but upgraded, like you go from playing 4 people to 9! You get to play as all your favourite characters. In fact, basically all the good guys, like Aragorn(of course, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, Sam, Frodo, and even Merry, Pippin and Faramir(but you have to beat the Crack of Doom to play Pippin and Faramir, and the Black Gate to play Frodo). You get to fight loads of enemies. You actually get to fight bosses like the King of the Dead, Shelob, the Nazgul Lord, Gollum and even the Mouth of Sauron! You have to fight enemies that get harder and harder like orcs, ghosts, giant spiders, Uruk Hai, Easterlings, Nazgul, Trolls and the dreaded Mumakils. The only problem is the game is a little easy. Some of the levels where you have to defend your fellow warriors or fight through levels swarming with orcs in a time limit and fighting Nazgul at the same time(like in Minas Tirith) but most of the levels are easy. All the bosses are easy, you can beat them on your first or second try. The only boss it may take a while to beat is Gollum, the final boss, but that only takes you three or four tries as well, it just takes a long time to beat him. The normal enemies are harder than the bosses and(believe it or not)the Nazgul Lord! You can beat him in about five minutes! But overall it's fun. It took me several weeks to do it, and I still play it, and it was months since I got it! Buy it, you won't be disappointed!Customer Review: Average
Summary: 3 Stars
While this game was little bit better than the first overall it is just average. Even my kids who are big fans of the series were disappointed. The first one completely blows so if you are going to buy one of the games you should get this one. The graphics are really good but it seems like no attension was payed to game play. Somewhat of a downer.Customer Review: Sweet Game Fun for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is so fun. I play it all the time. It's pretty easy to play in co-op but in 1 player it can get frustrating. I taught my five year old sister to play IT Rocks
