The Lord of the Rings had some pretty good games huh?
- Thread starter Araujo
- Start date
I just remembered some Making-of-video inside the Two Towers game where they did an interview with Orlando Bloom who was like "man I didn't even know they can make games look that realistic by now!".
Oh Orlando, if you only knew back then how games would look nowadays...

I keep hoping Two Towers and Return of the King get added to Xbox Backwards Compatibility someday
Which was the one on GameCube where you could play with two Players? I loved it playing with my brother over christmas
Star Wars maybe? Maybe not in recent years but there's a lot of classics from late 90s to mid-00s.
never really cared for the tie-in
Battle of the Middle Earth 1&2 were average/run of the mill RTS heightened by the license (and mods)
LOTRO was good ya
something new will come up with the new amazon series right?

pumped a lot of time into two towers and return of the king on ps2 back in the day and really enjoyed the third age
the Movie tie ins (aside from FotR) were top tier hack and slash games in the PS2 era. the third age was a great RPG twist. and you forgot the GOAT
I'll also pour one out for Middle-Earth Online, which was shaping up into a really exciting sandbox MMO but went dark in the summer of 2005 and contorted itself into a WoW clone. Turbine got the LotR license and it launched as LotRO in 2007 and while that game has a special place in my heart, I wish we could have seen the original vision.
At a time where licensed games were mostly complete garbage, The Two Towers and Return of The King stood as GOAT adaptations. I actually replayed the latter on PC quite recently, it holds up super well.
Also, Lego Lord Of The Rings is the best open-world LOTR game. If you're looking for a somewhat recent videogame trip into the movies, this is the one to play.

Final Fantasy X is one of my favourite games and the battle system for The Third Age is very similar so I loved that. Evil mode in it was pretty cool too. I also really liked The Two Towers and Return of the King games. I would love a modern adaptation of the movies.
I would nuance this.
Some Lego games are better than others.
Some are geniunely good (Harry Potter, Marvel Super Heroes), some are meh (The Hobbit).
But Lego The Lord of the Ring is awesome. It was the first Lego game with an open world.
The Lego games fans are sad that this one is still not available on Xbox One BC. I understand them because I had so much fun with this one, it was the first one I played when I wasn't a kid anymore (when I was an edgy teenager that wanted to play some dumb and violent games like COD MW2 instead of Super Mario Galaxy 2 lol), and I still had a ton of fun with it.
I missed that subtle dismissal. Did you actually play Lego LOTR ? It's incredibly faithful to the movies, the open-world is super fun to explore, the music is... well 100% Howard Shore, all the movies' actors participated for voice acting, and it's got plenty of great humor.
Don't dismiss this one just because it's a "Lego Game".
That game was cancelled, forget what it was called, Council of the Five Wizards or something.
I had the return of the king or one of the LOTR games for GBA. Was awesome and played like diablo 2.
Also the LOTR games for Ganecube were fire.

War in the North, the 3rd age and Lotro are so good.
I would love another co-op rpg in the style of war in the North. It was a fantastic game

I played through the PS2 hack and slash games with my friends back in the day, lots of fun, even if they aren't great.
Sierra's Hobbit game was amazing, so much fun.
The Lego game was fun too, the overworld is crazy.

You forgettin' some OP
Yes, the best games in the LOTR universe that i played.
Im a bigger fan of GoT and Harry Potter, and we never get games for those. I wish we had more harry potter games

OP, Lego LOTR is the GOAT LOTR game, hands down.
The gen6 action games from EA really were pretty great though. As I recall, they weren't two player, correct? Their only real downside. Would be great to get a remaster of those. Was always a bit sad they never made a fellowship entry as that's my favorite environments/tone out of the trilogy.
I cannot muster any hate, nor dismissal for Lego Games. I just can't. I can stand here and maybe shurg at the worst of them, but i just cannot point at them and say those are bad games... they are usually not.
But at the same time, it's weird. They have this "samey" quality to them, that even though each series has it's own unique quirks and mechanics they still somewhat get lumped together in my mind's eye.
Also why i never felt bothered seeing Lego games get accolades or big sales numbers (as they often do), it always made sense that it would be so. They are all pretty consistent... i just never felt "wowed" by any of them.
maaaaaaaaan I loved me TT and ROTK on Gamecube back in the day, probably some of my favorite pure hack and slashers evers
I had a ton of fun playing through War in the North with some friends.
Also the EA real time strategy games were awesome.

I remember having some good fun with the evil campaign. The best part was playing as the witch king fighting frodo in mount doom to reclaim the ring. Accidentally knocked frodo into the lava and panicked thinking I had lost. Would have been amazing if it had given me a fail for that outcome.
It's not a particularly good game but I had an alright time with it. Battlefront but with LOTR characters and melee combat
