The Return Of The King
 

Bought TLOTR: The Return Of The King today, eye-candy is an understatement for this game! It's brilliant IMO. :) Playing through this game just makes the wait for the last film all the more unbearable. Classic. For those who say the game involves just repeatedly bashing the same button are completely wrong, you want get far in this game by doing just that. Its a tough old game but highly enjoyable none the less.

:D

Im getting after xmas for my gc.
Dont want to spoil the fim :D

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Got it too. Good old hack and slash.

Can't spoil the film, already read the book.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

I've read them numerous times over the years. Classic. :)

Re: The Return Of The King
 

I've read the books when I was 10.

Just before the release of the films, I bought the mega-hardcover and read it again.

Also, I liked the BBC radio adaptation of the books. Very good set which I can't find anymore on Amazon.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

I tried reading them years ago, & couldn't get into them.

Bought the complete unedited "3 in 1" version after seeing Fellowship. Still couldn't get into it, & thought "sod it, I'll just watch the films".

Re: The Return Of The King
 

It helps if you're an old hippy like me. The original "tree hugger" LOL :rofl:

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Strange thing is, I actually read the appendices at back & found them not too bad. But I just couldn't get into the actual story.

After seeing FotR & TT, I do definitely think that RotK will be an amazing movie.

Dunno about the game though. What type of game is it?

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Is this game worth getting and is it better than the last one?

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Its much like the first one really. The graphics are excellent and there's a few unlockables (interviews/graphic art/snippets of Return Of the King). The only thing wrong with the game is that it can be very frustrating, you can tread the same ground over and over again to complete a level, hours even! Its a good game but once completed you won't be going back for more IMO. Overall I'd give it an 8 out of 10 but would deduct one point for the frustrating 'back to the beginning' of the level if you die routine.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Has anyone got any tips for 'on the south wall' section of the game. I just can not seem to work out how to get past this. It seems my job as gandalf is to stop the orcs overrunning the wall, but no matter how much hack and slash i do, it still seems to get overrun. Any tips would be most welcome.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

When the ladders appear against the walls press the B button, Gandalf will then kick them away from the wall, so stopping the orcs getting onto the castle walls. Also keep an eye on the mini display showing the postion of where ladders have been placed (they are marked in red) and run to that spot as quickly as you can to knock down the ladders. It took me a while to complete this level but you'll get there in the end!

Re: The Return Of The King
 

My Hobbit name is Minto Sackville-Bracegirdle

That would make a good gamertag! :D

Elf name is ElerossÃÃâ€*’« Tasardur

Re: The Return Of The King
 

I bought this at Toys R Us at the weekend as it comes with a free DVD of the first film.

Handy for an xmas present for someone.. lol

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Got it on the ps2. A modern-day Goldenaxe. Legendary.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

What kind of game-type is this then?

Re: The Return Of The King
 

A 'hack'n'slash *** beat-em up' :disturbd:

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Hmm. Does sound good from what everyone's said. I may be tempted to get this, despite it being single player.

(though I still have to get round to finishing KOTOR! LOL)

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Tez, you should be able to find Two Towers cheap now, try that to see if you like it, otherwise abuse GAME's return policy.

IMO, it's a fun game, though haven't finished it yet.

Re: The Return Of The King
 

Cool. I'll probably have a look for it.

Hmm, isn't GAME's return policy extended 'till Jan 'cos of Christmas? ;) :D
