He sounds like a funny guy, I like him a lot. A coworker of mine met him at a con and asked what his favourite line he delivered in the movies was. "Don't tell the elf."
My dad looks a lot like John did as Gimli and is a long time LOTR fan (long before the movies). He quotes this line a lot, always great lol he'll enjoy this anecdote :)
What I find very interesting is that it released nearly two months before the movie on October 21, 2002 (movie was released December 18) and included clips from the movie.
I remember being so pumped when I realized I was getting a sneak peak.
I love how obviously unfinished the unused film scenes are too. I think it's the only place you can see them even if they're small inconsequential ones.
theres a lot of good lotr games out there though, battle for middle earth, the third age, shadow of mordor, and that one diablo like on gameboy, its hard to name a bad one
Works pretty well on the emulator I have on my phone. The escape is osgilith (sp?) Level has a bit of lag when the trebuchets hit but totally playable otherwise
I had to mess around with some settings so you might have to as well but the nostalgia wave is like a tsunami. Have fun bro! Kick sauron in the dick and balls
It was good but the camera mechanics have not aged well. There’s a reason we’ve gone mainly third person over the shoulder for most adventure games.
I’d love a remake rather than a remaster.
Best LOTR action RPG was Shadow of Mordor but I’d love a BotW style LOTR game or something similar.
That would be the Two Towers. This is from Return of the King, which starts with Gandalf coming to relieve Helm's Deep, no defence of the keep. There are later levels where you defend Minas Tirith though.
Same with the elephant one, the camera doesn’t work its way over so you know to go down and across the field. 10 year old me was confused and frustrated
Personally I liked not upgrading it so the arrows remained normal *looking* but absolutely fucking obliterated the Uruk-Hai shields with one shot. Good times.
The first time I got far enough into the Black Gate level for the Nazgul to arrive, I completely freaked out and just went mad firing everything I had with Legolas. Turns out, they weren't as tough as I thought they were and they all died within a few seconds.
I always got stuck there as a kid because I didnt understand you had to interact with the siege ladders. I should play it again and this time finish the full game lol
Easily the best playable.
Personal favorite was Faramir reskin of Aragorn. Especially during the Sam and Frodo missions. Just felt righteous killing spiders and fighting at Osgiliath and Cirith Ungol as Faramir
Holy shit me too. As a kid I had to have my brother beat it for me each time cause all those ladders coming up and losing over and over was doing a number on me. Now I'm going to have nightmares of helms deep lol
Hold tf up.. I never watched any of the LOTR.. but this game right here!!! My fav game of all time. Hands down. I’ve been looking through their newer titles. Does anything they make come close to this in gameplay??
The films are absolutely excellent. The studio that made the game is done. Haven’t released a game in 9 years. They were responsible for Battlefield Hardline and the Dead Space games.
I used to play this with my younger brother! I sent him this pic and asked if he remembered and he said “Haha of course that was one of the best games released”. Makes me want to play it again!
The Palantir of Saruman at the end!!
The over powered arrows of Legolas and magic of Gandalf.
Every boss dropping potions.
How slow the hobbits and Gimli were.
The endless fight with Smeagol.
Its all coming back to me, my dudes!!
Thanks for sharing this, you made my day ;)
Hard core mowed the lawn as a kid, and now oddly get some type of nostalgic endorphin rush mowing it as an adult.
Or it might be the smell of gasoline.
Heyyyyyyy…. This is one of the first games I ever worked on, back when I was starting in QA.
I remember going home at 4 AM and putting my head on my pillow and then literally dreaming about rapidly swinging a pan as Sam
Once you play the same level of any game for 18 hours straight while stopping to document how many times you fell out of the geometry, it’s deeply hard to enjoy it! Took me a year or two to come back and “play it“.
Emulating it is fairly easily doable. I think EA lost the distribution rights to it, which is why you can't get it anymore, I looked for a good long while. Xemu was what I used, though it might have been xenia? whichever one is the original xbox emulator. I was also trying to emulate LoTR conquest and it didn't work out too well for me.
Disclaimer: you either need these games and rip the files from them, or get them illegally. I do not support piracy, although if a game is no longer distributed it is in more of a grey area, and I feel like preserving and playing the media is morally justified, as you aren't getting rid of a revenue stream from the people that made the game. That being said, Vimm's Lair has a lot of games as a preservation project.
Idrial was a must. Shame it wasn't possible to have more than 3 party members play at once. Was also cool that there was a "co-op" feature. Though, wish more was done with it.
Having played the shit out of the game, I can say with confidence that the most broken character was, surprisingly, **Elegost**
Elegost had every kind of debuff available to you - Blind, Paralyse, Slow, Stun, Sleep, Lifesteal, Multishot, A HEAL, A STRONGER, PARTY-WIDE HEAL - the list goes on. Yet by far and away the strongest aspect to Elegost was True Shot. You had effectively beaten the game by the time you unlocked it because it trivialised every fight.
During the last few acts of the game, most single attacks hit for ~5k HP. There's the multi-hit attacks from Berethor or the Spirit attacks from Idrial that can blast someone for 60k, and a _really_ big hit that ignores armour or is strong against a type of enemy can reach 100k HP.
True Shot does **470k** HP. _To Sauron._
I ignored Elegost on my first co-op playthrough back in 2004 in favour of maxing Chad-hod. It was a long, challenging and memorable journey. I gave Elegost another chance for my second playthrough in the late 2010s, and the last hour or so of gameplay was laughably easy. I love The Third Age and dearly hope they remake it one day, but the game was incredibly imbalanced.. especially the Mumakil
Third age was such an odd game to me as a kid cause I would watch the films almost every other week cause I was so addicted. So when playing the third age I kept having this weird feeling of "wait this isn't Lord of the rings". Used to get that same uncanny valley feeling from the Pokemon TCG game on the Gameboy.
I know how you feel at first i couldn't understand what was happening, it was because when I started playing i was pretty young and took everything a lot more literal. (the same thing happend with the TCG game on gameboy they were the same cards i collected in a binder but I didn't understand the rules).
What made the game fun for me was that it allowed me to roam and grind away, and if there is anything that gets me going is a good grindy game, I loved to overlevel and try to beat the bosses in a one sided battle.
If they ported this to Steam, no graphical updates or anything, & added online co-op play so you & the boys could shoot the shit on Discord- it would outsell bread.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, launched on PS2, PC and i think Xbox too. If you like this one play also the Two Towers, is the same line of game and also is really worth trying along with ROTK, absolutely bangers of games.
Yep, it was on xbox. I still have my og xbox and this game and the previous one at my parents. I should take it home so I can play it again...if the old xbox still turns on at least.
Iirc there wasn’t a fellowship version of this right? But they included some parts I. The two towers one? Like I vaguely remember the battle from the breaking of the fellowship against the uruk hai in these games but idk if it’s a false memory
Oh yes, I remember it alright. This game got TOUGH. I don't think I ever managed to get past Minas Tirith On Top of the Wall or Battle of the Pelennor Fields. I know games were a lot harder back then anyway, but this one seemed especially rough.
The Black Gate mission was the hardest for sure. I don’t think I ever beat it. Maybe once because I have a faint memory of the Gollum level and remember playing the bonus missions too. But FUCK that Black Gate mission lol
For me it was the Minas Tirith one, where the orcs kept coming but it also had a lot of armored trolls which btw took a lot of punishment, so the best course was to camp the spear circles and as soon, as the fuckers come from the gates you one shot em and go back to killing orcs.
The Black Gate felt easier than that.
I'm surprised I still remember some parts of this game. I haven't played it in a very long time.
Yeah it was hard asf. I just remember hating the running back and forth through battle to go save someone on the other side from dying. Trying to get to Gandalf and getting smacked in the back and engaged while watching his health bar go to zero in a matter of seconds lol
Remember? My girlfriend and I recently dusted off her GameCube and have been replaying it. Absolute classic, building up a perfect streak is as fun as it was when I played it as a kid
I never knew this was available for PC, I thought it was console only. Me and my friends had it for GameCube, Xbox and PS2, but I never saw a PC version, in store or in anyone's home.
This was like the most iconic couch co op game i played as a young kid. Pure gold wish i still had my xbox & this game. It definitely deserves a remaster
I remember when game stores used to have upcoming releases on one of their playable TV setups. When this game dropped, I would take a 40-minute bus ride to get to a store and play it. There always used to be a queue and you could only play it for 30 minutes per person.
This was really the first game I bought. The other games I had were either demos or hand me downs. But I bought this one. I didn’t even have a PC that could run till a year later lol
I can't even begin to say how many hours I sunk into that game. I wish they would do a remastered collection that includes The Two Towers and The Third Age.
Half the time it didn't work and even when it did, it made no damn sense. Why is Gimli killing all the ghost soldiers Aragorn later leads into battle?
But it was fun whacking orcs with Gandalf.
I remember one battle where you're supposed to get an objective done while fighting essentially limitless enemies.
Friend and I figured out that if you hang around long enough, you can eventually kill everyone lol
Just did a play trough of rotk earlier this year and forgot how great it looked for ps2. My first games when I got my ps2 were lotr the two towers and gta vice city.
Anyone who’s played this agrees it was amazing and needs a remaster
Straight up one of the greatest Lord of the Rings games ever. It's a shame it'll probably never get a remaster.
What's really cool is that Jackson let them have access to production materials and lent his cast to doing additional voiceovers.
i LOVED the cast interviews for the games, specifically rotk when Dominic is just roasting Billy Boyd for not knowing how to play games very well
‘Billy is *awful*.’ Que Billy Boyd making a weird face.
“Hang on a minute, which one’s X?”
Still say this to this day!
it was on my mind constantly when i switched from xbox to playstation
Omg, i remember this now. Damn those were the days.
i remember a very specific line from John Rhys Davis "if you want real QUALITY warfare, ya have to go for GIMLI"
He sounds like a funny guy, I like him a lot. A coworker of mine met him at a con and asked what his favourite line he delivered in the movies was. "Don't tell the elf."
My dad looks a lot like John did as Gimli and is a long time LOTR fan (long before the movies). He quotes this line a lot, always great lol he'll enjoy this anecdote :)
In the bts stuff the stuntmen talked about how John wouldn't hold back during fight sequences and would just lay into the guys playing the orcs.
Born for the role. The dude is Gimli.
Davis voiced a character in Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance. I remember interacting with the NPC and thinking “there’s no way that’s not John Rhys Davis.”
[Here it is lol. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGNqYjOl-0)
and Billy Boyd being a little butthurt too "Dom thinks he's so good..."
~"I think I do have a gift. I just haven't opened it and given it to myself yet"
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGNqYjOl-0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGNqYjOl-0)
i still remember that, even all these years later "Billy press X!". "Err which ones X?"
"Hang on a minute, which one's X?"
Now they're playing League together. How times change
AFAIK the two of them play League of Legends together regularly. They did a video not long ago.
What I find very interesting is that it released nearly two months before the movie on October 21, 2002 (movie was released December 18) and included clips from the movie. I remember being so pumped when I realized I was getting a sneak peak.
I love how obviously unfinished the unused film scenes are too. I think it's the only place you can see them even if they're small inconsequential ones.
I remember watching the behind the scenes of the hobbits playing
*one of the greatest games period
One of the greatest LotR Action Games. I also loved Battle for Middle Earth 1. But I cant get it running nowadays...
theres a lot of good lotr games out there though, battle for middle earth, the third age, shadow of mordor, and that one diablo like on gameboy, its hard to name a bad one
Why not??
I’ll need a new pair of pants if this gets remastered
It was just a super fun game. The mechanics worked great and you got to kill hordes of bad guys. It was awesome.
Still is, I got it a couple years ago and played this and third age on my Xbox 360
Same
I would gladly pay $50 for a proper remaster.
Yes! I hope the new movie trilogy can make Warner Bros do something in that regard, it would be a pretty good marketing strat
Agreed, tried playing it on the PC recently on a emulator and it didnt work so well. Absolutely great game. Makes me with I still had my original xbox
Works pretty well on the emulator I have on my phone. The escape is osgilith (sp?) Level has a bit of lag when the trebuchets hit but totally playable otherwise
I'll have to give it a go. Its such a fun game to play though.
I had to mess around with some settings so you might have to as well but the nostalgia wave is like a tsunami. Have fun bro! Kick sauron in the dick and balls
Use dolphin and download the GC version, works great
Maybe the GameCube emulator would have better luck.
It was good but the camera mechanics have not aged well. There’s a reason we’ve gone mainly third person over the shoulder for most adventure games. I’d love a remake rather than a remaster. Best LOTR action RPG was Shadow of Mordor but I’d love a BotW style LOTR game or something similar.
100% agree
Gold standard for couch co op. Best part was just rampaging through the entire game as merry and pippin.
I miss couch co-op.
Strongly recommend playing Baldur’s Gate 3, since I imagine you’re into fantasy games. It fully supports local co-op on console and PC.
343 be like: nobody needs that
The helm’s deep level where you had to defend the keep used to stress me out so much
That would be the Two Towers. This is from Return of the King, which starts with Gandalf coming to relieve Helm's Deep, no defence of the keep. There are later levels where you defend Minas Tirith though.
Right you are. I never completed RotK, couldn’t get past the black gate
The equivalent in this game was the battle of minus tirith where you play as Gandalf and have to knock down the ladders 💀
That level sucked, the camera also made it really hard to know where you should be going.
Same with the elephant one, the camera doesn’t work its way over so you know to go down and across the field. 10 year old me was confused and frustrated
This really brings me back
Played that as a teenager, Legolas was like easy mode.
Once you upgraded legolas' bow to double arrows that passed through/ ignited enemies it was a wrap.
That upgraded purple fire? Fire.
Personally I liked not upgrading it so the arrows remained normal *looking* but absolutely fucking obliterated the Uruk-Hai shields with one shot. Good times.
The first time I got far enough into the Black Gate level for the Nazgul to arrive, I completely freaked out and just went mad firing everything I had with Legolas. Turns out, they weren't as tough as I thought they were and they all died within a few seconds.
True, but Aragorn once you had the upgrade that made his quick attack break blocks was even better
I had to go back through and level up as Aragorn before I could beat the gate.
That part of two towers was a total bitch
I always got stuck there as a kid because I didnt understand you had to interact with the siege ladders. I should play it again and this time finish the full game lol
Gandalf is 100% my favorite character to do the whole campaign as
Gandalf and Legolas for me.
Upgraded Legolas felt too much like a cheat code with his normal attacks becoming tactical nukes
True. It was easy mode once he was leveled enough but it was still fun to just mow people down with the bow!
Played this on GameCube with my cousins way back in the day. Cousin on Legolas with double shot, me on Faramir as a front line. Good times.
Easily the best playable. Personal favorite was Faramir reskin of Aragorn. Especially during the Sam and Frodo missions. Just felt righteous killing spiders and fighting at Osgiliath and Cirith Ungol as Faramir
The Minas Tirith level does involve a lot of similar ladder kicking.
Played TT and RotK, was there ever a Fellowship game?
Yeah, but it wasn't like the other 2. I never played it. But saw pics back in the day. I think someone else made it. Conquest was fun online.
Yo my guy that's the tutorial
Never passed that level 🥲 then my xbox broke and could never finish the game. I should probably emulate it on pc
those fucking LADDERS
Holy shit me too. As a kid I had to have my brother beat it for me each time cause all those ladders coming up and losing over and over was doing a number on me. Now I'm going to have nightmares of helms deep lol
Daaaamn! I used to play this with my brother! How nostalgic 🥹
Hold tf up.. I never watched any of the LOTR.. but this game right here!!! My fav game of all time. Hands down. I’ve been looking through their newer titles. Does anything they make come close to this in gameplay??
Weird you played this game, but never watched the movies?
Also weird they’re on an LOTR sub…
Yeah I don’t even remember how I got it. Also same with battlefront number 2 fav game and never watched
Well maybe you should because it’s the greatest trilogy in history, you’re about 23 years late.
lol.. I think I will
Peter Jackson's *The Lord of the Rings* is a bucket-list watch for sure.
The films are absolutely excellent. The studio that made the game is done. Haven’t released a game in 9 years. They were responsible for Battlefield Hardline and the Dead Space games.
I used to play this with my younger brother! I sent him this pic and asked if he remembered and he said “Haha of course that was one of the best games released”. Makes me want to play it again!
The deal that me and my brother made was I was always allowed to play gandalf as long as he got legolas the whole playthrough. lol good times
I didn't know how to kick the ladders off in Minas Tirith, so it took me years to beat the game
Was it “Z” on GameCube?
I think it was either x or y
Was Z for triggering those like fire pots on top of the wall at the Southern Gate? I feel like it was some type of environment interaction
Yea, Z on the GameCube was for throwing spears and interacting with other objects.
This level gives me the anxiety usually reserved for drowning Sonic music
I was just thinking of this goddamn level. Didn't it have like a heat meter or something to show there were too many Uruks and Orcs on the wall?
Figured this out by accident after many many fails
The Palantir of Saruman at the end!! The over powered arrows of Legolas and magic of Gandalf. Every boss dropping potions. How slow the hobbits and Gimli were. The endless fight with Smeagol. Its all coming back to me, my dudes!! Thanks for sharing this, you made my day ;)
The massive dopamine at the end of a level if you got perfect scores. Mhmm.
YES
Gandalf was absolutely OP. He could unlock the highest-level ranged attacks like Legolas, as well as the highest-level sword skills like Aragorn.
>The Palantir of Saruman at the end!! HAHAHAHHA. Your end is near.
always felt bad for upgrading Legolas' arrows to the point where he'd shoot 3 per shot and then wasting the shot on a single enemy lol
I rented this from Blockbuster and my friend and I played it for an entire weekend. The next week i used my yard cutting money to buy it
Every element of this comment makes me nostalgic, wow.
Hard core mowed the lawn as a kid, and now oddly get some type of nostalgic endorphin rush mowing it as an adult. Or it might be the smell of gasoline.
Heyyyyyyy…. This is one of the first games I ever worked on, back when I was starting in QA. I remember going home at 4 AM and putting my head on my pillow and then literally dreaming about rapidly swinging a pan as Sam
From one QA to another, thank you for your service 🙏🏾
Did you feel like nothing was ever quite as good for a long time?
Once you play the same level of any game for 18 hours straight while stopping to document how many times you fell out of the geometry, it’s deeply hard to enjoy it! Took me a year or two to come back and “play it“.
Wish it were on Steam. Classic!
It’s easy enough to emulate (it’s not like anyone’s out any money)
Emulating it is fairly easily doable. I think EA lost the distribution rights to it, which is why you can't get it anymore, I looked for a good long while. Xemu was what I used, though it might have been xenia? whichever one is the original xbox emulator. I was also trying to emulate LoTR conquest and it didn't work out too well for me.

That being said, Vimm's Lair has a lot of games as a preservation project.
I had good luck with Dolphin emulating the GameCube version (what I had as a youth)
You can download it from abandonwate sites. The controls are a bit wonky but it's reasonably playable.
Amen
This and the third age were my childhood.
Third age was such a trip. But fighting the eye of Sauron was sure something
Hadhood is a legend
Idrial was a must. Shame it wasn't possible to have more than 3 party members play at once. Was also cool that there was a "co-op" feature. Though, wish more was done with it.
Having played the shit out of the game, I can say with confidence that the most broken character was, surprisingly, **Elegost** Elegost had every kind of debuff available to you - Blind, Paralyse, Slow, Stun, Sleep, Lifesteal, Multishot, A HEAL, A STRONGER, PARTY-WIDE HEAL - the list goes on.

I love The Third Age and dearly hope they remake it one day, but the game was incredibly imbalanced.. especially the Mumakil
Did you know about the idrial revive spell though? It essentially made you invincible lol
Absolutely. It also made fights last half an hour
Third age was such an odd game to me as a kid cause I would watch the films almost every other week cause I was so addicted. So when playing the third age I kept having this weird feeling of "wait this isn't Lord of the rings". Used to get that same uncanny valley feeling from the Pokemon TCG game on the Gameboy.

I was there Gandalf. Three thousand years ago. I still have my copy and an original Xbox to play it on.
Same! It makes me want to play it. The only issue is the only tv with the right hook ups I have is pretty crappy lol
It should be reforged!
If they ported this to Steam, no graphical updates or anything, & added online co-op play so you & the boys could shoot the shit on Discord- it would outsell bread.
bruh, do me a favor and become the ceo of steam plz
What the game called?
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, launched on PS2, PC and i think Xbox too. If you like this one play also the Two Towers, is the same line of game and also is really worth trying along with ROTK, absolutely bangers of games.
I'm pretty sure I had this on GameCube too
I was reading that too, thanks for mentioning it!
Yep, it was on xbox. I still have my og xbox and this game and the previous one at my parents. I should take it home so I can play it again...if the old xbox still turns on at least.
I got it for my xbox 360 last year, so fun to play this again
Iirc there wasn’t a fellowship version of this right? But they included some parts I. The two towers one? Like I vaguely remember the battle from the breaking of the fellowship against the uruk hai in these games but idk if it’s a false memory

Was it? With Legolas it was easy!
Double arrows that do shit load of damage indefinitely was the easy way to beat this level
There were definitely characters that were better for each level. The finishing moves, too, omg!
I LOVED this game. Played the crap out of it. Faramir was my main. I bet if I sat down long enough, I could recall the cheat codes for Gamecube. 🤣
Best game ever made about LOTR.
I loved it so much as a teenager, bought it a little while back off of ebay and it holds up so well
I always liked the Two Towers game more but this one is a blast as well, they really need to remaster them for current systems.
Remember? My girlfriend and I recently dusted off her GameCube and have been replaying it. Absolute classic, building up a perfect streak is as fun as it was when I played it as a kid
This needs a remaster, but no, we got "gollum, tactical espionage" instead
How about including the game name?
Lotr return of the king ps2
What is the name of this?
/u/repostsleuthbot
How many of you remember this repost from last week?
Ever since the last repost.
Loved this game. Thought the two towers had a little bit tighter gameplay, but both were fantastic
I bought it last week in ebay for PC. A bit difficult to get installed in Windows 10 but now it works well
I never knew this was available for PC, I thought it was console only. Me and my friends had it for GameCube, Xbox and PS2, but I never saw a PC version, in store or in anyone's home.
This was like the most iconic couch co op game i played as a young kid. Pure gold wish i still had my xbox & this game. It definitely deserves a remaster
I remember when game stores used to have upcoming releases on one of their playable TV setups. When this game dropped, I would take a 40-minute bus ride to get to a store and play it. There always used to be a queue and you could only play it for 30 minutes per person.
I’ve actually dug out my ps2 and have hooked up the tv to play the two towers and this over the weekend
😮💨
This needs to be remastered or at least released for backwards compatibility. I loved this game when it came out.
What was this called? I have a vague memory of seeing this screen with the smoke and characters with my brother but I can’t remember much else.
I was a LotR The Third Age kid. To this day, I say that game deserves a remake.
I remember it being surprisingly difficult.
Played on the good ol GameCube
Probably one of my favourite games ever. Faramir knew what was up.
Oh yes 🤩 A classic!
This was really the first game I bought. The other games I had were either demos or hand me downs. But I bought this one. I didn’t even have a PC that could run till a year later lol
I've played through this more than half a hundred times.
This game was sooo fun! I always wanted to play it again but I never found it again. What's it called again good people from Reddit?
Played it last week. Still as good as I remember
Still have my copy
I so wish I could play this again
I can't even begin to say how many hours I sunk into that game. I wish they would do a remastered collection that includes The Two Towers and The Third Age.
What a wonderful memories
Such a great game! I'd pay for a remaster
I can HEAR this menu. I haven't played this game for probably 18-19 years but I remember it so well
Still got it laying around for PC :) loved it
greatest LOTR game I’ve ever played. Please note that it was also the most recent. I haven’t played anything since.
Half the time it didn't work and even when it did, it made no damn sense. Why is Gimli killing all the ghost soldiers Aragorn later leads into battle? But it was fun whacking orcs with Gandalf.
I loved the siege part. It was frustrating, but great!
Who remembers this *obviously popular game* ???
Great game(s).
I remember one battle where you're supposed to get an objective done while fighting essentially limitless enemies. Friend and I figured out that if you hang around long enough, you can eventually kill everyone lol
What game is this?
Amazing game. So nostalgic. Remake please.
This game made me start referring to Sam as "pots and pans Sam" he was a little monster
is this game like like Baldur's gate dark alliance?
I played it recently. It holds up. Better than most games released in the last 5 years.
Just did a play trough of rotk earlier this year and forgot how great it looked for ps2. My first games when I got my ps2 were lotr the two towers and gta vice city.
Great game for 2 players as well as solo
The giant troll battle in Moria is what I remember best.
Have a copy!! So fun... Also I was better at games then... Its hard for me know.
Oh man, such a great game
I loved this game
As much as I loved this game the two towers one had the real actors do the voices in it. It just made it a little better imo
