Amazon.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 melee 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

It's sword slashing fun June 9, 2008
D. Wells (uk)
I have completed all of this game and I was a bit disapointed by the graphics and some of the game but not all of it. When I bought it I was hopeing it to be like the movie.But the last level made me think that I had NOT wasted my money so overal I would recommend this game for you.
Was that the end... ? January 2, 2008

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this game. All of the 4 hours I took until I completed it. But, I suppose, I still can play the game on medium/ hard modes, if I want to.
The graphics are... good. Theye are not the best, but considering that many foes can be swarming around you at once, EA have done the best with what they had.
I was disappointed, however, that in this game you can only play as Legolas, Gimli or Aragorn.
The game is also quite short.
But overall: A four star game :D
P.S. I would recommend "The Return Of The King" instead, as it is multiplayer, longer, and more characters are available.

A fantastic game. Ea games one. Play as Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli or Isiladour which you unlock after you complete it. Lets start with the grapics. Fantastic the graphics are. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli all look very much like the film but one character you unlock, Isiladour is a bit dodgey with his graphics. There are many kinds of enemys in the films which have been captured in the game such as Goblins, Uruk Hai, Trolls and Ringwraiths which all look very realistic. You do see extra characters which you can't play as such as Gandalf, Frodo and Boromir and they all look very realistic aswell. When theres explosions etc in the game they somtimes don't look very real so overall the grapics equal a 8/10.
Audio.
The audio is a good as it could be because the characters in the film recorded their voices into the game. The orcs, trolls and ringwraiths sound very much like they do in the film. The explosions and other sounds all sound very good. Overall the audio is 10/10.
Gameplay.
There are 13 challenging different missions which go through weathertop, moria, amon hen, fangorn, rohan and helms deep. There is also the battle at the beggining of the fellowship (film) which you play as Isiladour but then have to do all the others with Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli. As you complete the levels your character's level will grow and you will earn experience points which you can use to buy upgrades. When you get your character to level 10 you can do the extra Tower of Orthanc mission which is quite hard. You go through 20 floors of orcs, trolls etc. Your character has a missile (bow and arrow) which you can also upgrade. Aragrorn has 30 arrows, Legolas 60 arrows and Gimli has 30 small axe kind of things. Overall the gamplay is 9/10. This game is aimed at people 10+ because some children below that age may find it too hard and confusing. There is alot more orcs to kill than in the fellowship because you do helms deep so its quite fun to slice em up. Overall a good game but just needed the finishing touch

When I bought this game I was expecting it to be a great game with realistic graphics and a huge variety of things to do, and you know what? I was absolutely right. The two towers lets you play as Legolas(the best) Aragorn(2nd best) and Gimli(not so good.) You need to play through huge fantastic levels fighting Orcs and Uruk-Hai not to mention a cave troll.
Bad Points: This game has minor flaws,
1) It is somewhat repetitive,
2) It doesn't follow the exact storyline.Overall:
Graphics 8/10
Gameplay 8/10
Sound 9/10
Lifespan 7/10
 Decent game but not impressive December 15, 2003

Sometimes you encounter a game where the game logic makes you astonished. This is not such a game. The game was OK but I was disappointed by the lack of creativity in the underlying game structure. The better games in this genre offers a wider array of challenges, which keep you busy for a couple of days. I managed to play the game from start to end in one day.
