Re: The Return Of The King

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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