Electronic Artscontinues its exclusive relationship with the film versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's famous trilogy with the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In this combat game based on Peter Jackson's third film, players will fight legions of orcs and other creatures from a third-person perspective as the heroes Aragorn, Gimli or Legolas. Following the same structure as its action-oriented predecessor, players will use swords, axes, daggers, and bows to fight multiple enemies simultaneously.
Featured locations include Minas Tirith, Mount Doom, and more, with each environment offering multiple levels or planes to travel through. Characters will now be able to jump and climb, allowing them to interact with their surroundings to a greater degree. Film composer Howard Shore's epic score punctuates the battles, as the original cast provides the acting voice. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King also features a series of film clips used as segues to the game's action scenes.
Characteristics:
- Fight Orcs with characters like Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Sam, Frodo and Gandalf
- Explore environments from the film including Mount Doom, Minas Tirith, and more
- Go against enemies such as king of the dead and king of witch
