Game Overview

If you ever wanted to feel like you're actually swinging a sword in Helm's Deep or sneaking through Mordor with Frodo, this GameCube classic nails it. The combat's simple but satisfying—you mash buttons to slash through orcs, but timing blocks and special moves keeps it from feeling mindless. The levels follow the movie scenes almost shot-for-shot, complete with those dramatic camera angles when you trigger a finishing move.

What surprised me was how different each character feels. Aragorn plows through enemies like a tank, while Legolas lets you pick off archers from a distance. And yeah, the graphics still hold up—those Minas Tirith backgrounds look way better than they had any right to on the GameCube. Just don't expect deep RPG elements; it's more about reliving the movie's big moments with a controller in hand.

Pro tip: Play the co-op mode. Gandalf and Faramir make a weirdly overpowered team.
