    • @joebaggins8850

Finally I got to be Sauron and IMMEDIATELY got picked up by a griffon (or whatever they're called) and killed... So I played the entire last battle as just some random joe cause the big bad got done in by an overside bird.

  • @animaginarycolor
    @animaginarycolor 5 лет назад +1

    I've played a bit of this with my brother, and it's hysterical. The inexpressive faces, awkward animations, and playing as Gandalf when the cutscenes insist he isn't there (our theory is Gandalf is Aragorn's imaginary friend) had me cracking up the entire time. Maybe I'm just easily amused.

  • @thestarkknightreturns
    @thestarkknightreturns 4 года назад +1

    I keep getting back to the Co-Op mode on occasion, because, weirdly
    enough, it's one of the few LOTR games out there that lets you play as
    Gandalf the Grey in a 3rd view adventure game.
    There is the old Fellowship of the Ring from Vivendi for PS2, but that
    version doesnt look too much like the movies version, and the overall
    game is disappointing.
    Most games that let you play as Gandalf only tend to focus on him as
    Gandalf the White - also an iconic and decisive character, but far less
    interesting in my opinion.

  • @alexdotzko
    @alexdotzko 4 года назад +1

    I can look past the parts that don't line up with the films because it is being narrated by a guy telling kids a story. I can work with a flawed narrator. What I find weird, is that the developers decided to go with a character that didn't witness half the events around Aragon. They had two other hobit's that saw just about everything Aragon did.

    The DS verison of this game is still one of my favorite titles on the DS, but that's the DS, the bar isn't too high. I'm pretty suprised to see that the PS2 verison is the same game with better graphics. Why they didn't make it the Wii and PS3 verison with lowered graphics is beyond me. Btw, I recommend War in the North if you really want to play an awful LOTR game.

    It bugs me so much that Aragorn is using a shield.

    To be honest, this sold me on wanting to try out the game. It looks like a bit of fun!

    I played this game on the wii as a kid and loved it. But I haven‘t played it since then so I probably woudn‘t like it today
    Still seeing this gives me total nostalgia

    It kinda looks like a Fable game. It's not even badly made but some shitty game designer went out of its way to make it mediocre and ruine the efforts of the other people working on it.

    I like the ds version because its the ps2 version but very pixelated. Its no masterpiece but when you play it on the ds it feels like an old arcade game.
    Like runescape but a storyline. Changable powers, weapons, clothes that work as armor with perks, it just feels cool idk.
