    What is your problem people? Critics, regular people, a little piece of advice...GET A LIFE! This has to be the saddest, most pathetically thrown together button masher I've seen since Pamela Anderson.

    I prefer the fellowship of the ring over this game.

    This is a fast and furious game. All the fighting techniques are a little hard to master when you have 20 or so goblins and orks attacking. Just when you start to get in and master all the technique?s the game ends. I think it maybe its just promotional game to make you go out and see the film (which would be best spent). Don?t waste your money go rent instead guarantee you will complete This is a fast and furious game.

    This one is just bad. Not terrible, but bad. I can see why people enjoy this game, but personally it feels like a lesser version to experience the movie of the two towers. Not only is bad enough that they don't let you see the frodo and sam story, but on top of that the aragorn story feels rushed and kinda boriing.

    A top-quality production on every level, and is arguably the best hack-and-slash game since the original "Golden Axe."

    Good, twitchy action-fun. Based on the movie, this fast-action style beat-'em-up is well adorned with great supporting elements from quality sound, graphics and other movie-related resources.

    With graphics prettier than Arwen and gameplay shorter than Bilbo Baggins, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ends up a mixed bag.
