This game was the shit.

me and my brother loved playing and replaying the big ass war which was fucking awesome

It was all about Legolas. I guess Aragorn was a viable second option, but Legolas was the master of death.

Playing through the game, leveling up every character for insane skill and power.

Last level, final battle: Level 1 Frodo.

Still, epic game and loved it. Nothing like playing through the whole game as Gandalf.

I was terrified of the Shelob level, as I was 12 when I got this. I couldn't understand why in the movie there was only one spider and here there were a shitload of spiders raining from the ceiling.

I can't have been the only one who didn't trigger the catapults at 'The Southern Gate' level, and just farmed experience off the endless orcs.

Fun gameplay, but awful, awful camera controls. I spent most of that game on the extreme right side of the screen mashing random buttons fighting enemies I couldn't see.

As i write this, i can see the original case on the shelf, across the room. :)

Well, I know what i'm doing tonight.

Lowisje · 3 months

I loved this game... spend countless hours on the PS2 with my nephew trying to steal eachothers kills :)

My favourite part was where you stormed the castle and defeated so much orcs and it counted how much you killed.

I remember playing this with my brother when I was relatively young. I really got into it and said "Brother, we must go." He would not stop making fun of me :(.

Fun fact, this game was developed by many of the same people that later became Visceral Games (Dead Space series)

Found it on Amazon a few months ago for £0.01. Needless to say, exams were failed.

Oh heck yes. The end was so hard when we were young though.

Dripping_Man_Meat · 3 months

Holy shit yea me and my friend spent so long trying to kill the first troll till we figured out legolas kicked its ass. So weird how today it would be so easy to beat this game but as a kid holy shit it was hard.

Giantpanda602 · 3 months

I would seriously recommend Lord of the Rings: War in the North to anybody who enjoyed this game (or the Two Towers), especially the co-op sections. It is 3 player co-op (online, LAN, and split screen) that shows the behind the scenes stuff that was happening during the Lord of the Rings and it's pretty much built around the co-op. At the end of every level, there is a bunch of screens that compare everything between you. Kills, damage, money found, most damage in one hit, killing blows, etc. Also, there is a loot finding/trading aspect, though it is pretty basic.

racamonkey · 3 months

my sister bought me this game for my birthday when I was younger, but my PC ran it poorly so I set it away so I could play it when I upgraded. Lost the disks :(

I beat it for the first time in my life about a year ago. We've had it since it was released.

Fingolfiin · 3 months

I played the shit out of this game. But damn that Gandalf Range upgrade was the worst piece of shit ever. It turned ranged into melee and a sucky melee attack to. This was really tough when I was a kid, i know i got through the ladders but I can't remember if I ever beat the whole game.

MandatoryGrape · 3 months

Still is, but two towers was better. + on my disk co-op only worked 20% of the time.

Zurgy · 3 months

You know it. Legolas was such a beast, firing 2 arrows at once.

Anteres · 3 months

I had a lot of fun with this game. I'm pretty sure I still have it somewhere, but it's a question of "does it still work". I'm hoping yes.

gwap · 3 months

Wow thank you for this. I never could beat it when I was a kid I think Im gonna play it all night

BlueKatz · 3 months

This game is really fun

seanseanseanh · 3 months

I remember playing through this the first day it came out and my friends (there were three of us) and I went through the whole thing co-op. We got to the last two levels and the fight in front of the Black Gate was so epic and awesome and my friends were trading off through co-op since I was the one who bought it. We get to the last level and my one friend was so damn pumped to do the last level and then finds out we just fight Gollum.

He raged pretty hard afterwards.

Kiyralayne · 3 months

I have it for PC, GBA, and PS2. I love that game!

AidenR90 · 3 months

i used to just play that southern gate level over and over and over.

hardmode = playing Gimli and trying to outscore your friend playing Legolas.

The Gameboy Version was great too. It was like playing Diablo on Gameboy. So many car rides I spent on it.

The_Turkish_Delite · 3 months

Does anyone remember any of the cheats? you'd hold the back buttons and during the pause screen do (for ps2) Square Square Circle Circle to restore health. I actually have a little cheat sheet inside the cover that i would bring out when I was getting frustrated.

+1 for the obvious truth!

Probably the best Lord of the Rings game IMO...the only problem was that it was too short!

I had fun playing this game with my dad when I was a kid. Ah, childhood memories. I loved being Legolas especially.

nepaliguru · 3 months

Palantir of Sauron was hard as hell. D:

For me it turned into an almost endless stream of blocking and doing killing moves one at a time

Sonaza · 3 months

Apparently people didn't like the Cirith Ungol level but it was my favorite. I remember playing it many many times over with at least Faramir and Frodo (saving himself :D).

emkael · 3 months

Actually, nope. I've enjoyed The Two Towers on PS2 much more. After playing that, Return of the King seemed as if the developers wanted to artificially extend the gameplay by boosting the difficulty ridiculously without any particular reason (i.e. in Shelob's lair or at the Black Gate).

I've played it in co-op and while TTW was satisfying and pretty straightforward, in RotK sometimes it took us countless attempts at passing some levels (inducing iritation at the same cut-scenes from the begining of each level over and over again) and after finally achieving it, we were always left baffled what the hell had we exactly done differently then during all the previous failed attempts.

Also, from the storyline point of view - you don't get to actually use leveled-up characters from the first part of the game, since you're constantly switching between hobbit campaings and the rest.

Mernayi · 3 months

I know the map where u have to open a gate but u first face a giant elephant, on the battleground downstairs u could just almost endlessly kill orcs and that's where I got legolas to 20 in no time ;)

ralip15 · 3 months

for Gamecube? Fuck yes. still play it.

HolyMcJustice · 3 months

This, along with King Kong and Spider-man 2 is one of the best movie-based games ever created.

JarreyDeCherry · 3 months

my fear of spiders was amplified to the max when i played the level where you have to kill shelob. So....... many

BHynes92 · 3 months

I literally just picked up a copy of this at Bookman's (local used book/movie/music/game store) for 4 bucks a week ago. Money well spent.

Kaival · 3 months

This game taught me how awesome Faramir is, and that Pipin is actually not that bad in a fight. Oh and Legolas was a beast when fully leveled up.

nsiems12 · 3 months

The best was beating the game and then playing the Hobbit levels with a character like Legolas. The orcs stood no chance

Andrewpruka · 3 months

I loved this game. I played it over and over again until my hands exploded. Shit was so cash.

Question: On Minas Tirith, Top of the Wall (Hated this one), There was the Fell Beast that was flying around. Was it possible to kill him, and what happened if you did?

Fuck yeah, Southern Gate was my favorite level. So fun.

RoaneF · 3 months

Recently got my old Xbox back. This was one of the first things I played.

Played Faramir like crazy. Yes, he is literally just a reskinned Aragorn, but somehow I thought he was cooler at the time. Probably because he's the last dude unlocked.

Tannerthejay · 3 months

I played it on Gameboy Advance back in the day.
