Adequately Conveys Movie Concepts

Pros Cons
Fantastic multiplayer Poor storytelling
Just plain fun  

Games based on movies and books are rarely as good as their film or literary counterparts, but the Return of the King is a decent attempt in this genre. The action is realistic and reminiscent of the film, but some of the elements really stray from the movie in order to make the story flow. I won't even touch on how these games relate to the books; if I did, this review would be pretty terrible. Further, the end of the game is a little anti-climactic. However, as an offshoot of the movie, the game does a pretty good job of portraying the story and makes for some fun gameplay, especially in multiplayer.

Cool Game!

Everybody Get This Game On The Very Day That IT Hits Stores! If You Do You Will Be Very Loyal To J.R.R Tolkien! You Alsways Have To Be Nice To The Creator Of The Lord Of The Rings!
