    ....i JUST picked up my copy.. Have to go to work tonite, but hope to be playing it early tomorrow morning...

    Anyone else tried it out? How is it??


    I've read it some reviews that compare it (favourably!) to "Devil May Cry"...


    This, to me, is a good thing....

    It's a game I would like to buy but with so many good ones coming out soon (I should say, hopefully good ones), I feel a little strapped for cash. And I definitely prefer the concept of this game to the literary version (unless I get to kill Tom Bombadilo... several times... slowly... with a hammer...)

    The Black label version of FOTR for PS2 isn't that good. The Two Towers looks a whole lot better. My roommate should have it soon...

    Its a pretty good game. Rather short though. Only took a few hours to beat. But it is fun. Especially the Helm's Deep levels. Just a multitude of orcs. You'll have a blast killing them.

    Here's a question for anyone that's played both of the LOTR games that are out. Which is better? I'd also like to know what the differnce in gameplay,if any, there are.

    Where exactly are you? Are you fighting the head uruk hai? Or are you still running around Amon Hen looking for frodo?

    Well when you first start the level notice there is like a count of like 75 Orcs on the screen. Kill every orc you see as you make your way down the hill. And do it fast.

    Once you fight the head Uruk Hai first you have to fire arrows at him. Use a quick combination of firing arrow then parry. Cause you have to block the arrow he sends at you. Then once he picks up his sword run your ass off cause he is fast for a big dude and you cant fight him to a stand still. Stay close to those statues. He will swing and hit a statue with his sword and stay there for a few moments. Thats when you attack. Just repeat that.

    ..yeah, those Helm's Deep levels are awesome..


    The game is a tad on the short side, though.. Only purchase this game if you're a fan of LOTR, and more particularly a fan of Peter Jackon's movies...

    You know, it's funny.. I had almost NO problem beating the game with Aragorn.. I couldn't even be TOUCHED with that guy, but now that i'm trying to make it thru using Legolas and Gimli, i find a die much more frequently..


    Must be Elendil...... ;)

    My roommate got it yesterday and stayed up all night and beat the game once with Legolas. Now we are halfway through the game again alternating between Gimli and Aragorn...

    I'd play this one anyday over the PS2 Black Label Fellowship of the Ring game. If you wanna play that one, play it on X-Box...

    I know Drew the same goes for me. Fighting a cave troll with Aragorn is so easy but with Legolas its so freaking hard.

    That's odd, seeing as in the movie Legolas does most of the killing or the Cave troll.

    I've been "out of the loop" for a while now - but these (mostly) positive words are encouraing. Hopefully the LOTR games released for PC will be as good. :)

    Oh, I'm really looking forward to picking up this game! As a huge fan of the books and the movies, it will be really fun to finally kick some orc butt!

    Hey, Estranged, did you get that sig from those Lord of the Rings journals? If anyone else is confused, you can find hem here.
