Well, this game is allright. It defiantly isn't as cool as Harry Potter or Nintendogs (Which I can't wait to get)or Mario but it is OK. But let me tell you one thing I LOVE THE LORD OF THE RINGS BOOKS AND THE MOVIES! This game just didn't do it for me. The graphics are pretty cool but... I get very frustrated after playing this for a while. One reason is there are little stones always in your way, and the simplest things such as walking onto a bridge are immpossible. Also, it seems very hard to beat a level. I play this game sometimes, but not that often, only when I am extremly bored. One cool thing about it though is that you can pick what character you want to be, Eowyn, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Legolas, Gimli etc. So out of a ten, this game gets a 4 or 5.
Best game I ever purchased! - Reviewed on 2005-10-09

This is a game I never get tired of playing! I love the addition of Gimli, the better weapons selection, Eowyn and Aragorn being able to carry certain axes, and Legolas's hawk attacks are more effective. The only thing I don't care for is that Eowyn wasn't equipped with the ability to stun opponents like she was able to do in The Two Towers. This made it a bit difficult to for her to fight foes and it required me to spend a lot of time getting her past level 20 so I wouldn't get my butt kicked by the Witch King! This game was filled with more exciting battles and new foes and allies. It will quickly become exciting and addicting as you make your way to Mount Doom to defeat Sauron! If you have The Two Towers this game will be a little easy to win but if you don't then you are in for quite a game. I wouldn't recommend this game for children but for avid LOTR fans, I highly recommend it!

EA's Two Towers game was highly enjoyable and fun but this years Return of the King title puts it to shame.

Gimli was added as a playable character and that makes 6 characters which can be played from the beginning. And later on Sam and Gollum can even be unlocked and played. And let me tell you, Gollum is challenging but loads of fun...

Everything from last years Two Towers game is back but better than ever. The compass is easier to read so you cant get lost, there is an auto healing function to heal easier in battle, the skills are greatly expanded, and the items are much more diverse and fun.
The amount of levels, characters, skills, and gameplay in this is staggering! There are new difficulties to play as you progress, better items to hunt for, and unlockable characters and secret levels. This game plain old rocks!

If you want a massive, fun, and great game based on the Lord of the Rings then look no further. This title is easily one of the best Gameboy games available now.
