The French edition of Electronic Arts' Return of the King, a beat'em up from the third Lord of the Rings film, praised for its cooperative combat and use of film footage. Its interest lies mainly in this full French localization, voices included, making it the reference version for French players, the object staying common. A nostalgic piece for francophone fans of the trilogy.
Is Seigneur des Anneaux, Le - Le Retour du Roi still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2003 on PS2, Electronic Arts' project extends the formula of the previous brawler by covering the final battles of The Lord of the Rings. The levels grow in scale, from the epic Deep to the Pelennor Fields, and the playable cast widens with paths dedicated to Gandalf, Aragorn or Sam. Local two player co-op deepens the pleasure of the mass clashes. The repetitive structure and the uneven difficulty persist. A polished adaptation, recommended for fans of cathartic action and for Tolkien devotees nostalgic about that great era of licensed games.
