i got the "LOTR (Lord of the Rings) The Return of the King" as a birthday present.

anyone else out here playing it? this game is awesome (and *hard*) ...
graphics are great, tons of movie-scenes etc. great gameplay. i love it.

but some parts are *hard*, i'm playing on "easy" mode and i still have problems with some of the levels, can't imaging on "normal" or "difficult" ....

just wanted to say:
great game!

Andy

Ooh, is this available for the PS2? I saw the movies now I'm reading the books, and as I finish the books I'm watching the extended DVDs. It'd be cool to top it all off with the video game

yupp, they have a PS2 version of it, i'm playing the PC version ...

there's some great stuff in there, like, they show you cut-scenes from the movie and then they blend in the actual game, seamlessly, and you start playing right there, inside the movie, so to speak.

Woah, cool! I'm gonna have to get that.. eventually.. Thanks for the reccomendation!

I got the first LOTR for PS2 a few christmases ago and i beat it by new years... I think that was the last non-GT3 game I played.

well, the end came way too fast
no surprises there ...


you play 3 different story-lines, one as gandalf (alone), one as aragorn (with legolas and gimli), one as sam (with frodo and gollum), each comes with it's own maps and all,
then, at the end is one level where they're all together (except frodo and sam) and the last level is frodo at mt. doom ...

you have to unlock the levels as you go and your characters gain experience and such.
pretty clever and very close to the original story line.

me (as gandalf) at the end .... over 1 000 000 points!

the map that shows you all the levels ...
they light up as you finish them, you can see the 3 paths you need to play, left is gandalf, middle is aragorn, right is sam
