Story (3/10)
The story is supposed to follow the movie, but the game does a poor job of skipping around. Those who have not read the books or watched the movies will be lost very quickly here.
You have a choice of characters, including Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf to play with.
Gameplay (6/10)
Whereas The Fellowship of the Ring was a mockery of RPGs, The Two Towers is a mockery of Beat-'Em-Up games. A very poor selection of weapons and items and a small inventory take all the creativity from the game, which simply consists of walking from place to place, pressing a single button.
Graphics (6/10)
Much improved from the first title, but still a bit pixilated.
