Game Description
The end has come! Developed with the same digital assets from the mind-blowing Lord of the Rings movies, EA's Return of the King is sure to be one of the most exciting video game experiences ever! Play as the true-hearted heroes Frodo and Sam, Legolas the elf, Gimli the dwarf, Aragorn the ranger, and Gandalf the White! Play with a friend in co-operative sequences for some hack 'n' slash kicks Gauntlet-style. With deeper gameplay, interactive action and stellar graphics, Return of the King will have you defending the White City of Minas Tirith, swinging from ropes on giant war-elephants in the epic Battle of the Pelennor Fields, braving the Paths of the Dead, scaling the eerie Tower of Cirith Ungol, and making a final stand before the Black Gates of Mordor!
