    In the end, it does a decent job of bringing the massive battle formula to the King Arthur license. [Feb 2005, p.9]

    Numerous playable characters are a big plus, but the repetitive enemies and environments are not. However, I'm always a fan of good cooperative play, which this title successfully incorporates. [Nov 2004, p.149]

    The repetitive nature of this hack-and-slash title will eventually get the best of those who pursue it, and if it doesn't the unfair difficulty of some later levels probably will.
  4. Yahoo!

    It's solid-looking, but terribly tedious and irritatingly hard at points. In co-op, it's better, but it's a still a long way from being good.
  5. Worth Playing

    The lack of execution makes this a title to avoid.

    It doesn't have the polish and unlockable extras of the "LOTR" games. [Jan 2005, p.138]

    And urgency is desperately what this game needs, but sadly doesn't have. Boredom is sure to set in during the very first level.
