Summary: Great graphics and storyline - Too difficult
Review: After playing this game for a few days I can say it looks great, blends great with cut-scenes from the movie itself, but is simply TOO DIFFICULT for a casual gamer.
I had to repeat one level over 20 times to finish it, and I'm still stuck on some of them even after repeating them dozens of times.

Summary: Good game, could have been better
Review: I gave this 3 stars, but it probably deserves a 3.5. By the time I finish the game (only played about 5 of the 15 levels so far), this review might warrant 4 stars. The game itself is pretty sweet. There's lots of stuff to do, lots of things to kill, and lots of ways to do it. The graphics are excellent. I've seen a couple of reviews whining about having to buy a graphics card for this game. I have a 64 MB card, and that's hardly cutting edge right now. The game works fine and runs smoothly. You could probably get by with a 32 MB even, which would hardly break anyone's bank. So these reviewers complaining about it not running on their computers just need to replace their PCs they bought 4 years ago and never bothered to upgrade. Cause the Recommended system requirements aren't that stringent. You could play this game on a 2 year old PC easily. The other thing I like about the game is the voiceovers and cutscenes. Its nice to see if you're a fan of the movies. And it really adds to the game. Here are my gripes: First, the controls aren't very precise. For movement, its standard WASD PC controls. But when I move, its not very precise. I get turned around very easily and you can get confused when you're battling in a crowd of guys. Add in all the other function keys and the controls can become unwieldy unless you're a super serious gamer. Second, the game camera is a pain in the butt. It only displays from set angles, so sometimes you don't see where you're going or wat's coming at you, so orcs in the game get cheap shot damage on you cause you didn't even know they were there. There is an alternate camera angle mode that I haven't tried yet. It might be an improvement, so don't let what I've said about camera angles be a deal breaker. Third, don't buy this game for the coop. Its worthless since you can only play on the same PC. EA really should have set that up to be an online feature. What a waste. Finally, this game is hard. Even on Easy its hard. This is good because it increases replay value, but it sucks when you jut want to beat the game fast to see the cutscenes first. Also, on some levels, you pretty much have to have a strategy and know what you're doing to win. You can't just hack and slash your way through every level. Take for example the Walls of Minas Tirith level. You basically have to spend your whole time knocking down ladders to keep the walls from being overrun by enemies. First few times I played this, I just kept killing dudes and I lost every time. I was expecting I could just kick ass through every level of this game and win, but oh no. In sum, I think this is a good game that really blew it on some angles. But overall its worth it, especially if you're a Lord of the Rings fan.

Summary: REQUIRES 32MB AGP Graphics Card!
Review: I know others have mentioned it, but I spent about an hour before leaving work looking for system requirements. They weren't listed on the official site, Amazon, and any other major electronics retail outlets sites. So I figured my recently purchased laptop would be sufficient. Shelled out my bucks, got the game, started loading it and saw the Video Card requirements. Nothing in the install mentioned it or tested for it. The install took 45+ min (2 discs!). Only when you try to start the game does it check your video card and fail. Wouldn't even start! So I can't review it. I can't even play it!
I've played the Two Towers game on Playstation2 and this was supposed to be better. I was hoping to play it on my PC, but I guess I'll wait. (Sigh!)

Summary: Better than expected
Review: Just got it today. After seeing a couple negative reviews up here while my order was in transit I was a bit worried about my purchase, but having played it a bit, I have no regrets whatsover. Basically the does a good job mixing the movie elements in with hack-and-slash arcade-like gameplay and the result is a very solid action game that blends in well with the theme. I suppose you can get the console versions instead (and save a couple GBs of drive space), but if you don't own one (like me) and yearn for the occasional action game then get this! I don't know about standard PC controls, but with two USB gamepads hooked up to my system it plays great in co-op! The only complaint I have is lack of netplay, which could have had potential in a game like this, but that's the only reason I'd knock of the 5th star.

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: I thought this game was excellent and as far as the controls are concerned I had no problem controlling my characters. I would recommend this game to anyone. I really enjoy playing it. I also enjoy the THX sound it comes with as well as the movie clips from the movie. Godbless!

Summary: Can't even play it yet
Review: This game needs you to buy a 154 dollar video PC cards to play it. No wonder it's a bit cheaper than Halo for PC. They expect you to have a PC graphic card. I can't even play it. If somehow I can play it, I will rate it again to see how it is really.

Summary: Great game hard to control on pc
Review: We have the pc version and the PS2 version. Graphics on the pc are flawless but character is so much harder to control using default mouse and keyboard setup. I also tried using my Microsoft steering wheel and my joystick and its still hard to control. On the PS2 the graphics are less but the console game controller is so much eaier to to work with. Other then that the game is great, if you liked the Two Towers, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: A WASTE OF MONEY
Review: The controls are terrible. They didn't do a good port to the PC. I would give it zero stars if I could.
