.co.uk Review
-------------
There was a time when The Lord of the Rings was just a book; now
it's a billion-pound industry churning out films, merchandise and
games. The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers is EA's foray into
the realm of Middle Earth, and they've chosen good old-fashioned
hack-'n'-slashery rather than offering up the RPG that most
gamers might have expected.
You choose one of three characters of the fellowship of the
Ring--Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli--and guide them through 16
missions of mêlée combat, where you use your superior fighting
skills (and combinations of buttons on your controller) to beat
back the hordes of Sauron.
How you fight is very important: the rating system resembles
that of Devil May Cry, and the more daring moves and perfectly
executed combos you pull off, the more points you get at the end
of the level. The more points you get, the more you can upgrade
your attacks, weapons and defensive tactics.
Although it bears the name of the second film, the game includes
set pieces from Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring
too--Aragorn beating back the Ring Wraiths at Weathertop, the
battle with the goblins in the dwarvern caverns of Moria, plus
the Battle of Helm's Deep and more footage from The Two Towers.
There isn't much more to the game; it looks great, provides a
good dose of action and is well executed, and it's obvious that a
lot of thought has been put into capturing the feel of the films.
It's woefully short and most gamers are going to breeze through
this in less time than it takes to watch the special features on
the Fellowship of the Ring DVD. But if you're a fan of the film
or love a bit of mindless button bashing, then this is a good
tie-in. --Kristen Bowditch
