My favorite thing was to max out arrows with Legolas and play and replay the Black Gates level.
WiiMan13
We won’t, cus EA shut down the studio that made it (Visceral Games)
Noob3rts
Yes! You know what else was a really good game? Battle for Middle Earth. WoohoO!
airman712
Two Towers was better imo.

A lot of the LotR games were decent fun. War in the North was great.
MathewCorbett
There was a time when EA didn't stick they're dick in everything and prematurely ejaculate a piece of shit
Hellstorm99
Yeah, shadow of war has been a bit of a let down.

Played the previous Two Towers one. GBA version was closer to Diablo.
kellyingfrenzy
I think we should all agree that The Two Towers was, and still is, the best Lord of the Rings game.

Hello, can you see me? I need to speak with you- your secret Santa
ImnotdumbIjusthaveacommandofthoroughlyuselessinformation
I've been waiting on an updated HP Quidditch game for years, the first one was cool for a kid but there could be so much more. Esp nowadays.
Hell fuckin yea,I loved that game. it could've been so much more too yet they keep making fifa and madden. Ravenclaws special move was best
Also, the only reason I've found so far that it hasnt happened yet is because EA still owns Quidditch video game rights & won't do anything.

Loved those strategy games
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
I was just thinking I wish there was a new BFME game. *cries softly*

If only the enemy just didn't ignore your army and beelined your economy buildings...
I still play RotWK occasionally. That game was legendary.

The camera angles were a bit buggy. Overall a fantastic game!

Did anyone like Lord of the rings conquest?
Yea! I wish it had been just a little more fleshed out but I enjoyed it
o0trippyk0o
Yeah. Silmarillion. Get Melkor up in this. Make games. Blow minds
Let me fight in Fall of Gondolin!
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
Silmarillion would make an awesome MMO!
Davidnfilms
Oh yeah, I had it on PC and xbox, unlocked EVERYTHING. Palantirs were awesomely fun!
NATA5
It's on PC?! Hmmm now I gotta find it. GOG maybe?
Yeah I got it in one of those 4 or 3 game packs they used to sell at like Tower Records. Graphics were better than XBOX.
iamsometimesbearded
Oh man I gotta go buy that now.
AntonioAdorno
Anyone else here a fan of Battle for Middle Earth II?
I remember when the last day of servers for that game. So sad
Doomedtodiefirst
join gameranger, many people still play. I play with random people via gameranger. I swear im not an alien trying to speak english

You can download for free, EA's abandoned it.

I had a turn based RPG game based on LoTR and it was literally days of my teenage years... LoTR the third age. Game was fantastic.
I think I had that on the GBA! Berserkers were bullshit.
BallisticMissile
I think I had that one too. Where all the characters were similar but not quite the same as the fellowship ie. a dwarf, a ranger a blonde 1/
elf but she was female, a Gondorian but instead of Boromir his name was Barathir (or something). Good times
berethor. Sick game
Tranchec
Faramir was the SHIT

LichJesus
But he was just Aragorn reskinned!
Cabazoro
With less power abilities too. But I think the challenge of not having as many escape tools was what made him an fun choice. "Do or die!"

ps2 was the age of coop games. I feel bad for people who didnt enjoy the system with a buddy. Me and my cousin played that game for hours.

My brother and I took turns playing coop with each other and picking new characters every time through. So much fun.
IAmTheBadW01f
One of my crowning achievements in any video game was a 3-player Medal of Honor: Rising Sun game with only bazookas, in which my 1/
Controller was broken, so I couldn't shoot. I won. Turns out, if 3/4 of the time you blow yourself up too (losing a point), you may as 2/
Well hit them over the head with it! 3/3
TheHourGrowsLate
Shadow of War is pretty good.
It is extremely good
Metallica93
Hopefully not as repetitive as the 1st game. Dear God. 'Arkham Asylum' combat + mediocre story = that game (despite the awesome A.I. system)
It's kinda repetitive, but they learned their lesson and focused almost entirely on the nemesis system this time. Cultivating the perfect
army of orcs and using them to attack and defend bases is extremely satisfying.
Nice. The Nemesis system was the highlight of that game. Most importantly, how's the story? First game's was rather bland.
It's insane fan fiction that I personally found entertaining, but you will absolutely hate if you're a story purist.
Sveniat
The microtransactions really turned me off though
furlan92
there is absolutely no reason to pay for any loot boxes
I never spent a dime on them. You get a ton of currency from online challenges. I don't understand why anyone would pay real money.
fair, but the fact that they are even there skeeve me out. It's just a scummy business practice to put them into a $60 single player game.
Also fair. I don't mind lootboxes as a concept, as long as content isn't gated behind them. Like, Black Ops 3 had weapons that could only
be obtained as random items in loot boxes. That was really, really bad, IMO. That's denying me content that I paid for. Shadow of war

EA used to be excellent. This game and the original Battlefront games were money.

and Battlefront.
shootmans
Even though original Battlefront wasn’t EA, it was Pandemic, Savage Entertainment and edited/published by LucasArts. Explains why it’s good.
Oh shoot, just looked at my old game. You're right!
GTalmighty
old school ea yes, new school? well would you want to pay to get a chance at Gandalf the white?
MileFromDisco
Gandalf the Grey (you can only play Gandalf the White if you pre order the ultimate edition)
bernlack
If it were by Ubisoft, the ultimate preorder exclusive (which tags 50 bucks onto the base price) will be available a week later at 5 bucks.
IllusivePanda
Exclusively at Gamestop
Which isnt even in my country lol
Jacksontime
For $129.95
But at least it comes with a $5 resin cast statue that will be totally valuable, rare, and collectible in 20 years. Its an investment really
I maxed out every character and beat the game but continued playing it because it was so fun.
JBSmoove
Me too. It was really such a good game. One of the better, if not best, movie to game adaptions
passbuspass
Maxed out Gandalf and became a god with a plasma autorifle
thegreatwhiteape
after it was finished, I just play the black gate level with Pippin and ran through cunts for hours
thebetterJFK
Me too!!! This game was epic. I could play southern gate over and over and over...

My brother had this and Star Wars Battlefront for the PS2. So much fun, especially when you're playing with other people.
Video games will never be these same since they killed split screen
Literally every time my friends came over we would play it. I hated the Hobbit journey for whatever reason but loved the rest of the game.
the movesets for the hobbits weren't much fun. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gandalf were where it was at.
TheGreatCanadianImgurian
Really? Merry and Pippin had my favourite mechanics in the game personally.
It was more the path of the hobbits I disliked.
docileirish
was this game really that good?
theShitmyassholesays
Yes. It was the shit. If u had friends. I did, but you may not so I would say skip it and stick to roblox
Leolol1
If it was released today, doubt it... But at the time, loved it.
JCBaggins
Oh hell yeah! It’s one of four GBA games I still have!
lonewolf658
Yes
zadian
OH HELL YEAH
There was something about the co-op and combat style that really got me hooked. Plus, LOTR so you know.
TheRealSirGregorCleganeTheMountain
For its time, yeah. Most games, I find, don't really hold up anymore though. This is one of them.
poughdrew
Palantir of Sauron using Gimli was hard. Or am I thinking of the wrong game?
Right game, and I agree. Legolas maxed out was a piece of cake
That bow was so OP, it was ridiculous
yup. insane dmg, a dmg over time effect, pierces enemies, and hit 2 targets at once. Didn't even need to "charge" it at that point
Dienekes
I was really hoping Boromir would have been a playable character. :(
DarkBusterBaron
Make tom bombadil a bonus playable character.
The fact that they left out such a major character blew my mind.
I know tom bombadil saved the party's asses multiple times the in the book.
HighImpactSexualViolence

cbjfan
Didn't Boromir die in The Fellowship of the Ring?
In the movie, yes. But in this game you play through levels from all three movies, Amon Hen included. He was already in the game.
yogoo0
No there were no fellowship levels. Only helms deep and forward. You're probably thinking of the two Towers game
timbo91
This is such a Boromir thing to say
oldusernamewastoolong
But he dead...
ITradeObscureReferencesForPoints
Isildur was playable in two towers. My ps2 crapped out on me before i finished return of the king so he might be in this too.
Right, but you were able to play as every other member of the Fellowship. I could be Merry at Helm's Deep if I wanted.
I feel like Faramir made sense, since he was a major player in the movie, and took over for Boromir after his death
Not disagreeing on that, but why not have both? Didn't make sense to me. I just wanted to play as Boromir more than a to me else.
