Author's Review
Lord of the Rings is an action-packed game full of hidden surprises. This game is more than just hacking and slashing. You got to have some strategy and skill to earn those experience points. Then you use these points to purchase upgrades like powerful combos, health modifiers, better weapons, etc. Combos such as bane attacks are special kinds of combos only done after parrying enemy attacks. The only problems are that the game is too short and linear. This game would also have been perfect for multiplayer action!!
GRAPHICS 10/10
In this game the graphics are so amazing!! You can hardly tell the difference between the real thing and the game graphics. The levels designs are absolutely perfect!! In fact, if you look carefully, you might find some very cool secrets....
GAMEPLAY 9/10
The gameplay and controls are fairly simple. Triangle is for Fierce attack, square is to parry, circle is to kick and X is for a speed attack. L2 is used to jump back, L1 is for the ranged weapons and finally, R2 is for the killing move. The combos you unlock are pretty easy to accomplish, except for bane attacks(which requires you to parry an enemy attack then quickly press X then R2). The enemy A.I. is so good!! They don't just stand there and let you slash away at them. Each character(Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli) has its own strengths and weaknesses so you have to be careful of what attack you throw at a certain enemy.
SOUND 10/10
The sound....oh yeah...Let me start of with the soundtrack. It is so amazing!! They use the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack which goes perfect with the levels. The music changes to fit the situation. For example, In Fangorn Forest, You just walking along. The music is creepy and eerie. Then as you go closer toward the enemies the music get stronger....
OVERALL 10/10
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a perfect game to play, either from renting or buying, you will definitely have a blast.
