The Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers is one of the best games in history!This game was wonderful on PS2 and believe me it's going to be a lot better on XBOX.The graphics will be so much better and it's going to have multi-player options.This is the best simply because the gameplay is absolutly extraordinary.In The Two Towers you have you have levels from both of the first two movies.So that means you get Ringwraiths(Black Riders),the Watcher in the Water,The Cave Troll,The Fighting Uruk-Hai, and best of all the Battle of Helm's Deep.You have defeat all of those with either Aragorn,Legolas,or Gimli.You could be the quick,bow and arrow shooting elf,Legolas,The short,axe skirmishing dwarf,Gimli,or a combination of the two in Aragorn.This game has excellent sound ,gameplay,and graphics and is sure to be on of the best of all time.
thank god! November 6, 2002

i wanted to get this game for ps2 but one problem i'm getting an xbox for christmas not a ps2 so u see my predicament but when i found out that it was going to both xbox and gamecube i was bursting w/ joy. I love lord of the rings and i waited outside the store a half an hour before it opened to get the movie the first day it came out. The movie will be a classic and so shall the game. You play as Aragorn(a.k.a. Strider), Legolas, or Gimli. there are up to sixteen levels in the game and at the begining of each level u can switch to any of the three characters. The game starts of at Weathertop( in the fellowship of the ring movie) and continues until the grand battle at helms deep. the computer characters are controlled by a.i. and I'm sure it will be a great game. Hope i helped.

I'm sure that many people out there have wondered that same thing I have: why can't game makers make a good game with the Lord of the Rings license? Well, this game finally does it!You start out with the same movie beginning as the Fellowship of the Rings. The first level is as Isildur. It is kind of like a tutorial. After you beat that, the game really begins. You can chose to be Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, or Aragorn the Ranger for the following 12 levels. The levels go from the fight on Weathertop to the Battle of Helm's Deep. During the level for every kill you get experience points and a rating of fair, good, excellent, or perfect. The more experience points you get, the more moves you can buy. Now, about the actual game. The graphics are AWESOME!! They look exactly like they do in the movie. The Xbox really has the best graphics for this game of all 3 systems. The backgrounds look realistic and like they were directly pulled out of the movie. The loading times are quick, getting you right to the action. The sound is great, from the Fellowship of the Ring movie. What is also a nice addition is that the actors from the movie really do the voices in the game, making it sound genuine. The fun value is tremendous. I mean, who wouldn't want to face endless hours of hords of Orcs coming to meet your blade?! Even though the game is a little on the short side, and I mean a little, it has tremendous replay value. The 3 players you can play as add enough replay, but you can also purchase moves and unlock interviews and stuff with the actors!! The video of Elijah Wood seeing himself in the game is worth the admission price! Also, 3 different difficulty levels are in the game. All in all, this is a very fun and well balanced game with lots of reply value. If you are good enough, there is even a secret level and character! This game is a good game for Lord of the Rings fans and just plain video game players. I highly recomend this game. It is definitely worth [money] to buy.
EA has done it again!! January 20, 2003

First of all I would like to say that I very much enjoyed the medal of honor series by EA and think that they have worked their magic once more with this game. I was alittle skeptical to play this game after being teribly disappointed with The Lord of The Rings The Fellowship of the ring. Dont let this discourage you! First you can play through major action senes from the first two movies and play as the three main action heroes from the first two films: Aragorn the Human, Legolas the Elf (my personal favorite), and gimli the Dwarf I think that this game is terific in these respects 1)Graphics are terific! I didnt know that I was playing until Gimli started yelling at me to watch out!!!! 2)Controles are easy to master except that the camera can get kinda hary, at times you are trying to shoot at enimies that are off the screen. 3) gameplay is well done in that the storyline is the same as the movies except this game is begging for a multiplayer mode (hint to game developers) that they will hopefully put in their next game The Return of The King.Review:
Graphics: 5/5
controles: 4.5/5
gameplay:4.5/5
overall 4.5/5 (Coulden't put 4.5stars on my review so i just gave it a 5).
A must buy for any XBOX, PS2, or NTG owner!!!
Amazing! December 17, 2002

This game is soooo fun, but I have only played it on PS2. Naturally, it will have better graphics on Xbox and I can't wait until it comes out. In this game, you can be Legolas (my favorite and the best) Gimli, and Aragorn. You can buy items like the Lothlorien Bow, with experience points. This is one of the best games I have ever played, but this is no match for Halo!
