    Great game the transitions between gameplay and movie are flawless and brilliant. Non-stop action with plenty of the forces of evil to hack up. Very true to the movie. Plus has a ton of extras like interviews with the cast and film makers and on location photos. The game is just great fun. Now if you'll excuse me have some orcs slashing to do.

    A great game a little short as everyone says but still is great to play over and over again, helps if you are a lord of the rings fan and maybe the critics from magazines and stuff arnt because it doesnt give this game the credit it deserves.

    This game has to be one of my favortie gamecube game's the combos are the best i have seen and the voices are great. (because they used the real actors) the one thing that could make this game alot better is longer and more secrets but overall it is a great game to play.

    The most stunning part of the game is the way that it seamlessly mixes footage from the films with scenes and dialogue developed for the game. [Feb2003, p.152]

    A bluebrint on how to make a very good movie-based game. [Jan 2003, p.99]

    The Two Towers the movie absolutely blew my mind. I sat in awe throughout most of the movie. EA has managed to recreate that feeling with their game. There truly is a feeling of being in the middle of an epic adventure, up against insurmountable odds, and yet pulling it off.
