Legolas fights with two elven short swords.Dual Boss: The Fangorn Forest level has two Forest Troll fights early one and ends with a big fight against two Forest Trolls at once.One level also requires cutting through the barricade Orcs hastily set up. Die, Chair, Die!: Most levels have some environmental objects that can be smashed and occasionally provide an experience boost or a potion as a reward.Deadly Lunge: The goblins with shields will occasionally do one if theyre at a distance.Combos: Bought with experience in between the missions.When fully upgraded, it is strong enough to instantly kill Trolls. Charged Attack: There's a charged version of the heavy attack, which can be bought with your experience and then upgraded twice.Played straight for enemy characters with ranged weapons. Bottomless Magazines: Averted for the protagonists: Aragorn gets 30 arrows, Legolas 60 and Gimli has 25 axes.Bloodless Carnage: Standard for a T for Teen rated game (12+ in the UK), though notably averted in one cutscene after the "Helm's Deep: Breached Wall" level when Gimli hacks at an orc.The Cave Troll at Balins Tomb is also this in the second stage: your character retreats to the walkway above and has to rely on ranged weapons to finish him off while hes whipping you with his chain. Background Boss: The Kraken-like Watcher at the Moria entrance always stays underwater and only attacks you with its tentacles, which you have to sever in order to ward it off.It probably helps that they glow purple and dark blue as they gain in power. Unlike other characters, he actually inflicts a lot more damage at range than up close: whereas it usually takes him several strikes to dispatch an elite Orc or an Uruk-hai up close, the arrows dont discriminate. The game received a sequel, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which dealt with events from the third film and was similarly well-received.
The console version game was universally well-received, and possesses Metacritic rating of 82 and similarly high user scores. The Game Boy Advance version was understandably much simpler and had largely different gameplay, including isometric view and larger cast of playable characters. It boasted advanced graphics for its day, as well as the use of the original film score and actors. In the main version ported to all major consoles, youre allowed to choose Gimli, Legolas or Aragorn for each mission, and its possible to replay successful missions with the other two later on. It was released to coincide with the 2002 film of the same name, but actually covers events from the first film as well, starting with the siege of Barad-dûr depicted in the prologue to The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers is a Hack and Slash tie-in game to the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
