<div class="IPBDescription">DONT fill this with the movie stuff</div> hey just to say... this game is GREAT...

i have played it on ps2 and pc so far and have been very impressed on both..

and there is a certain nostalgia playing as gandalf and owning things with 'glamdring' i may be wrong i cant remember his sword... but yeah... VERY good...

i have only played pc demo.. but it handles well and so i got my mom to order it as a early xmas thing this afternoon

but i played more on the ps2 copy... and yeah...

if you liked the first one whcih i had for ps2.. you will love this... pretty much the same layout.. more characters to play as (6) and yeah... i LOVED it... it was the reason i brought a ps2.

so yeah the demo is on Fileplanet and only 83 mb i highly reccomend you at least try it!

Peace.

    Hmm... didn't realize there was a demo out. What got my attention to this game was that it was 2 player co-op. I'm always looking for new things to play with the wife on XBOX... So far, Halo is the only thing she's totally into. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    am i the only one who DIDNT like this game?

    everyone says it's so great, but to me it just seemed frustrating.

    sure, it was filled with a ton of footage, but there was no way to skip past it. i had to watch it every time i wanted to start a new game.

    the gameplay wasn't all that great. at first i really tried, but i found myself trying to lean around smoke and fog in the level, but then gave up, not being able to see the battelfield. so i ran around and i mashed buttons at orcs, mainly just to get some "mission failed" message cuz i obviously didn't bash hard enough.

    then i tried the coop with my bro. all that happened was i got mad at him cuz he wouldn't go fast enough, and then he would die to some orcs that appeared out of nowhere that neither of us could see to fight anyway.

    i had a terrible experience playing this game. i almost cried after i realized i wasted the rental money. if you liked it, hey great. glad you did. i couldn't get past all the crap tho.

    i will say one thing good tho before ppl yell at me; i did like the models. and i loved the way they went back and forth between game scenes and movie footage. good job. but that's about it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Hack and Slash- Game where you bash random buttons in hopes of killing something. Great fun. ex: the Rings: The Two Towers, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

    (psst, Wolf, it's LotR: RotK. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)



    Game revolution gave it a B+, which means i'll at least rent it on GameCube.

    like Blaq, I really didn't like it. I hated the camera view, it never felt sufficient. I either just stabbed at whatever was near me or stood a bit away and fired into the crowd of orcs I knew to be off camera. The stabbing bit is no more than realizing when to use either your more powerful attack or the killing move...

    Ive heard nothing but good things about this game, and i've been tempted by it. But i never read the original books and i've (obviously) not seen the movie yet, so i don't want to spoil anything for when i see the movie.

    Damned video game, sod off for another month. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
