Truly the King of the Lord of the Rings Movie Tie-In Games

User Rating: 8.5 | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King PS2
While the gaming is simple, the game itself short, this is a must have for a Lord of the Rings game. This game came out in tandem with the movie, or close to it, and was the answer to what fans wanted when they couldn't afford to go watch the movie again.

The game allows the gamer to play different characters, though, initially, not entirely of your choosing, and smartly does not involve a boss battle with Sauron. The unlockable cinematics are what really had me avidly playing this game, and as the game progresses through the game, more and more behind the scenes interviews are revealed.

It has high replay ability to it, with other things to unlock. The game is true to the movie, and to the books as well to a degree, but as it is a movie tie-in, the game follows the movie it's modelled after. Overall, a good game, too short, but the extras are nice.
