King is the best, most synergetic convergence of film and videogame I've ever seen. It turns Two Towers' wow factor into an emphatic "holy freaking crap!"
The closest an interactive experience has come to re-enacting the utter chaos and undeniable fun that is being a part of an ongoing epic battle in which you (alongside either a friend or a complete stranger online) play an important role.

A modern day "Golden Axe", but ratcheted up to massive levels of production. With excellent sound, graphics, and theatrical work bolstering it, Return of the King is a hardcore gamers' game with tremendous mass market appeal.
A tremendous achievement. Genuinely exciting and immersive but not without its faults. A hack-'n'-slash treat, if slightly repetitive. [PSM2]
Rife with action and bursting at the seams with bonus content, the title will also go down in history as one of the most intense products ever created for hobbyists' consumption.
The presentation is just outstanding. It's just a shame that the gameplay was a little off, and that you couldn't skip the movie cutscenes.
The combat system is extremely shallow, and Gamestyle can find little in depth to favourably commend it.
One of the best licensed games ever made! Things happen really fast, gameplay is great. Ive loved as a kid and im loving it replaying now!!!!

Is it perfect? No, but what it lacks in depth it makes up for in game play. While a simplistic hack and slash from the PS2 era LotR Return of the King earns its place in your classic gaming catalog or your retro collection.

Better than the first so I wish I can give this a 7.5 but still as an actual video game this game is ok at best.

What is this monstrosity? Controls are everywhere, gameplay is laggy and it feels clunky and like a cash grab to exploit the movie. Unstoppable cutscenes were just the end for me.

the game has a **** cutscene and the worst thing is that you can't jump, it looks more like you're watching garbage from a movie
