obi Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Not really, I just wanted to take this time to talk about Lord of the Rings: Return of the King video game. =) (GBA) Anyway, I have completed it with two characters, Aragorn and Frodo, and I just have to say: wow. It has great music, and similar gameplay to The Two Towers. However, this game is freaking hard. Word to the wise- when you play it, collect kingsfoil, and save them. You'll need them. Trust me. I'm going to play it on Xbox next, and I hope it's as good as it looks on the back of the box:D I wanted to get it for PC, but with those requirements, my PC would blow up if I tried to run it. Anyway, anyone else play it for any system? If so, how'd you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Its way better on gamecube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 The only beef I have with gamecube is that you have to have a memory thing to save your games, while on Xbox/PC, you get to save it to a hard drive without buying extra junk. I don't have any consoles like Gamecube, Xbox, or PS2, so I have to rent it. I figure if I rent the Xbox and RotK, then I can play/beat it and rent it later and play it with all the secret stuff unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Haha, nice one obi. I think I won't end up trying it, basically because I'm not a fan of LotR, but glad you liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OBI! I LOVE YOU! I mean...don't do that! *smacks obi* I'll be getting the game on Gamecube. I have an XBox, but I can't imagine playing the game on it. I'm used to the Gamecube for the controls, and I know it'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacco Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I don't know that I would get it. Is it worth the money to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoguePhotonic Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I went through most of it yesterday but have not finished it yet...it is hard though...annoying hard and that's why I am cheating my way through it..that way I can just enjoy playing the game and the story without all the frustration... My system can more than support it lol...I just installed the 9800 XT a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I borrowed it and played it. I loved it! I want to buy it, but I'm either to greedy to spend 50 dollars on it... or my belief that 50 dollars is overpriced is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I am *hopefully* going to get it for PC, but first I have to convince my dad that is isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I tired the PC demo...and I didn't really like it. It's definitely a ported console title, and I'm not a fan of the viewpoints of these games. I like an over-the-shoulder 3rd person view to this kind of thing. I also found the combat a bit dull. Just click click click with the mouse - it was more like Diablo. I wanted to like the game, because the graphics are great, and taking control of different characters from LOTR to fight the Orc hordes...well, it would have been fun. But I wanted a bit more depth to the combat - like JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joetheeskimo Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Originally posted by Chewbacco Dude! bummer. Take the risk and get a better comp. With saving your hardrives. Well, I may get a better comp. My mom agreed to pay for the parts with her Christmas bonus, but first we have to clear it with Dad, and my Dad thinks it's a waste of money. He wants to pay off the credit card. Even when I get all the parts and convince them it's all only about $500, they act all "Oh, I don't know." D*mn it, I wish I were 18 Oh, and my hardrives aren't worth anything. They have a capacity of 3 GB! Yes 3 GB! And they're by Compaq, and Compaq is the company that gave me such a crappy computer, so I'm determined to never, EVER, use Compaq again except for thngs like monitor, printer etc. I can't even upgrade my video card because Compaq's products are all stuck together, if you know what I mean, and so I can't add or remove anything.
