Oldie but goodie
This game has seen it's days in the sun, but for the time it held some very impressive visuals and amazing combat. The feel of the movies is well represented in both visual style and audio, which is another area with which this game shines through. I believe 2 of these were made if memory serves correct. Both equally epic and engaging even by the current days standards. I shared many co-op sessions with random people online, i believe the service is no longer available,however i may be mistaken. Game on!

It has it's ups and downs
this is not the best game but it's not terrible. first off the story mode is good a fair amount of levels but one of the levels is from the second movie which is weird because this game is based off the third movie. the graphics are okay not the best but it is ps2. the sound is nice with swords clanging and arrows flying. the gameplay got a little repetitive all the characters have all the same combo moves with a few exceptions. on the positive side you get to beat the heck out orcs, trolls, uruk hai and some others bad guys from the movies. another positive note is that you get to play as all your favorite LOTR characters like Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf to name a few. so if you are a die hard LOTR fan then this is for you if not then I think you should try something else.

This game has it all!
This game begins with a long scene composed of clips from the movie. As if that isn't enough to draw you in, the game starts you off as Gandalf, the brave wizard. This game has one of the best first levels ever, allowing you to take down hordes of Orcs and other forces of Sauron.
This game is not an RPG, though the description is unclear on that. In reality, it is a fast-paces sword combat game, very similar to the classic 'Golden Axe'. The combat is where this game really shines, allowing you to pick up various weapons and use them.
The only thing that stops this game from getting a 9 is the difficulty level. This game is REALLY hard. It is very easy to want to give up after just a few tries. Overall, however, this is a good game.

amazing gameplay
Really good game, it follows the movie really well. The only thing is that the camara angles bother me a little

Why won't you stupid orcs DIE!!!
I absoloutley will not deny that this game is fun. It is! I'm just very bothered by the fact that every character moves very slugishly. It makes it extremely hard to fight. Also, every enemy is way too hard too kill. The end bosses are practically impossible to beat. If you can get a hang of the controls the game can be prety fun.

Best game ever made for the PS2!!!
The game in gameplay and graphics wise, in my opinion, was ahead of its time. This is exactly what customers/viewers like myself are really looking for.

Game is amazing for PS2
This is one of my favorite games to play on the playstation 2. The graphics, sound, and storyline follow the story of the movie almost perfectly! The biggest flaw in the game is its difficulty though. It takes good reflexes and you need to get used to the controls if you dont want to be constantly thrashed around by a bunch of orcs. Sound is great they take small details into it. the sound of footsteps, talking and screaming, when you shoot a bow you here a big THWACK, and you here the sound of your sword slicing through the air when you swing. People who think the cut scenes will blow will be surprised. They take segments of the movie and then convert the graphics into the game afterwards.
Story shortened, well made game. If you love the movie, you WILL love this game!

One of the best movie games
Usually movie games aren't that fun but this one is definatley a keeper. It is fun to level up your player throughout the story.
