Middle-earth in your hands: from Peter Jackson's trilogy to epic battles, The Lord of the Rings inspired great action games. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"EA adaptation of the Return of the King film, German release. Beefy beat 'em up replaying the big battles, heroic roster and very satisfying local co-op. Staging stays faithful to the film, runtime is decent. Arguably the best Lord of the Rings tie-in of the era."
"EA adaptation of The Two Towers, German release. Beat 'em up slimmer than Return of the King but already very effective, simple combat staged around the film's big battles. Faithful art direction and instant fun. A strong opener for EA's run."
"The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King continues the trilogy's success. Ground combat and duels, local co-op and a cinematic mood. A stylish, effective fantasy brawler."
"The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers lays the groundwork for the Tolkien console brawler. Faithful settings, film clips as cutscenes and direct action. Simpler than its sequel."
"Japanese version of The Two Towers from the Lord of the Rings franchise, under the Futatsu no Tou title. The same epic action against Sauron's forces with iconic Tolkien characters. For Japanese players who are fans of Peter Jackson's trilogy wanting the experience in their language."
