The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002

Is it still worth playing?

A hack and slash action game developed by Stormfront Studios for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, released by Electronic Arts in 2002, based on the films The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. The levels come from scenes in the films or closely follow them, and film footage and the original voice cast tell the story. You play as Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli, with different styles: Aragorn fights with his sword, Legolas with arrows and Gimli with his axe. The fighting is fast, with many enemies on the screen, and experience levels buy new attacks, including combos and instant kill Bane attacks against trolls and orcs. The last three levels at Helm's Deep give the feeling of fighting a huge army of Uruk hai, and one level in Fangorn Forest was created for the game. A familiar story told with three different fighters still gives it a reason to play again.
