Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King brings the incredible adaptation of the classic Tolkien novel to life, on your game system!Customer reviews:  I'm still waiting for the entire trilogy EA...., 2006-12-27
First off, this was the one game during 2004 that was worth playing over, and over, and over again; the replay value was amazing! The only problem I had with the game was the annoying camera angle, which allowed for some enemies to get some cheap shots on you from behind. And secondly, Ea said that they would release a game covering all three movies....Where is it?!?! O yeah... This game was great btw

This game is another Hack'n'Slash game, is pretty annoying. It has no story at ALL! Me, as a LoTR fan, find this very stupid.
The game is about just killing thousands of enemies and, sometimes, pushing buttons in the right time.
The few things I like about this game is the Pelennor Fields stage, there's still thousands of enemies, but you have a much larger area to run around and kill all the enemies; you'll also have to climb of to the cliffs to shoot at the Mamukil and bring them down (which, at the beginning, can be very hard). I also like the fact that you can play with all the characters from the Fellowship and the "combo buying system" is quite unique and cool, as you kill enemies you win points that you can use to buy new movements to the characters but is not hard to master all the characters.
Gandalf spells sucks a lot, they could have made lots of more cool spells with more visual effects and so on.
But the worst of this game is the Barad-Dûr level, Jesus... I cannot believe what they did... Can you imagine a hobbit beating up hundreds of orcs??? Yeah, neither do I. The final level sucks a lot also; you are ate Moria Gates in a 5m diameter circle while thousands of enemies just keep coming until the Nazgûl comes and you beat them more easily than you beat up the thousands of enemies... The Nazgûl are so lazy and easy I cannot believe!
The graphics are good and the sound is also ok. Gameplay sucks, just pressing over and over one or two buttons.
In resume:
*Buy this game if:
-You want to have the whole series of LoTR in your shelf,
-You like Hack'n'Slash style games,
-You'll do anything to have anything that haves an LoTR label on it,
-You have lots of money.
*Do not buy if:
-You expect a good and solid game with some story,
-You liked the first LoTR - FoTR game,
-You didn't liked the LoTR - TT game,
-You're a strict fan of LoTR.
