I quite frankly LOVED the game and I am amazed to see the technology and work EA Games have put into this game. The graphics are amazing and you really see that thousands of dollars have gone into this games production and release.

Eight playable characters and secret characters including Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimili, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippen and Faramir makes it much more exciting than the first game from EA. If you are wanting to buy this game it is well worth the money.

EA have managed to improve on last year's effort in every way and Return of the King delivers an exciting blast while it lasts.

The graphics, sound and presentation are excellent and the inclusion of interactive levels that let you use objects to take out your foes enhances the hack 'n slash gameplay. It isn't a long game first time through but with unlockable characters and co-operative play you should be back for more.

On the downside the camera sometimes makes things hard to see and while the scenes from the movie are cool they don't really show much.

If you're a fan of Peter Jackson's movies then this is a great game, but if you haven't read the book then it might spoil the plot.
