I had bought this game around 2001 or 2002,when it came out and I tried to play it on my first computer back then but it wouldn't work.Then I lent it to some people and now I don't remember who has it.I never got to play it!
@Insubordinate90 I owned the game once, and still I remember the best tactic to avoid the wraiths. Always stay in the shadows, distract the wraiths and only move when they have passed. Throw the rocks as far as you can, it will buy you valuable escape time. Go somewhere far from the wraith's eyesight to avoid being caught. It worked for me, I'm sure it'll work for you. :)
The concept of this game was great. It's what I wanted; an experience of the actual journey through middle earth. Unfortunately, it wasn't well executed, but I'll put that down to lack of budget; for any fan of the book it's definitely got some charm.
To the poster of the vid - ROTK was a great game. Sure, it was based entirely on the movies and played pretty much like an action game with no real soul, but it was still fun as hell. The Southern Gate is one my favourite levels in ANY game.
I agree with you on this one COBAttack; this game is more satisfying to play through than the other two that were just hack n slash LOTR movie extensions. The fact that Tom Bombadill is in it, is enough for me! :> He was cut from the movie( along with The Old Forest & Barrow Downs ), AND the audio book that I found (?!), but the people who made this game new what they were doing. I enjoyed this on the original Xbox very much.
I love this game, so many memories, and I love it becuase it's not shite and so heavy laden with Peter Jackson's influence, it's origional and sticking to the true stroy. In my opinion, the only one of the LOTR games that is playable
@jesseabrown1993 to answer your question this game was not a movie based game the company that made this one was making the game to be based off of the book not the movie trilogy. two towers and return of the king are movie based games made by EA (not the company that made FOTR) and they where basing these games off of the movies NOT the books.
i once tried to play this game myself. i got very near the end, but accidentally saved it at a really bad spot. so every time i tried to load, i died. it SUCKED!!!!
@COBAttack i got ati...but on nVidia download 3danalyzer....somewhere in the program has a box "LOTR textures fix" click it and run the game through that program! AND PLAYS!! i did it on my old pc with nVidia graphics card
@harrytwood download 3danalyzer and hit the "LOTR Textures fix" button...then select the game and run it... NO BLACK SCREEN ANYMORE!!!!!! i did the same thing!
@COBAttack Man, that's bullshit. Return of the King knows what it is. It's a game based on an action-adventure movie and it kicks ass. People were tricked into buying this game because they thought it's a movie based game(and why wouldn't they?it came soon after the FOTR) and later they realised it's a very poor game adaptation of a great classic novel.
My recommendation: Don't buy this game, save your money and instead go to a library and lend The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.
@COBAttack Why? It's not a masterpiece, but it isn't a horrible game. It's enjoyable at least. LOTR: Conquest is an awful game while The Battle for Middle-Earth is a real masterpiece. ROTK falls somewhere in between.
@COBAttack hmmm i have to agree with u about his stupidity... he knows basicly nothing :/.... he basicly says "if it isnt movie based it isnt as good".... and says this game came AFTER the movie......... LOL....... then i would like him to explain to me why i had this game a while back b4 the movie came out
DAMN FUCKING RIGHT! There just isn't a story, only stressful fighting ALL the time. And the missions are so linear as well! What what happened to the scenery of the second one?
