i wanted to get this game for ps2 but one problem i'm getting an xbox for christmas not a ps2 so u see my predicament but when i found out that it was going to both xbox and gamecube i was bursting w/ joy. I love lord of the rings and i waited outside the store a half an hour before it opened to get the movie the first day it came out. The movie will be a classic and so shall the game. You play as Aragorn(a.k.a. Strider), Legolas, or Gimli. there are up to sixteen levels in the game and at the begining of each level u can switch to any of the three characters. The game starts of at Weathertop( in the fellowship of the ring movie) and continues until the grand battle at helms deep. the computer characters are controlled by a.i. and I'm sure it will be a great game. Hope i helped.

Holy cow--this game alone justifies an XBox system purchase!

I played the first Lord of the Rings game for the XBox and was a little disappointed. The graphics were good--nearly everything on the XBox exceeds what you can get on the other platforms--but there was something about it that felt "ported" from another platform. As a result, I felt like the potential of the game was never reached.

On the other hand, Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers is DAZZLING! The game play is noticably improved, and the graphics are literally jaw-dropping. I have never seen a graphical adventure game that has the resolution, color and quality of Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. I think this will be one of those rare video games that people hang onto for years and stays in demand well down the road as so-called "newer and better" games and systems come around. In this regard, I would think the purchase of Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers is a pretty smart investment!

WOW! PS2 watch out, XBOX is right on your tail!

LOTR: The Two Towers was on of the best games i've ever played! I played the game on PS2 the first time and it was incredible and i fell in love w/ it...but of course, it will be much better on XBOX((the graphics, gameplay, music...etc.)) I am a huge LOTR fan and this game made me tingle inside!! this game was phenomenal!! you start out the game playing as Isiuldor at the foot of Mount Doom moments before he keeps the ring like a total jackass. then you venture forth as either Gimli((cousin of Bailin)) Legolas the elven archer, or Aragorn((strider))... you have the choice betweeen each level to choose who you would like to fight with depending on each characters personal combos and speacials. the game features many cut-scenes going from movie to game flawlessly! each time after you complete a level you have the choice of new powerups depending how you did on the previous level. this game is a definant keeper...buy the game...you will fall in love with it from the 1st orc arm that falls to the ground, from the tens of thousands of orcs marching at you! i hope that i helped parents AND especially...the gamers of 2morrow!!

WOW!

In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers you can control Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, or Isildur (only in the first mission and as the secret character.) Legolas (my personal favorite) is a speedy elf who uses his long knives (yes i know they are a bit too long to be knives) and his bow to make his way through Middle-Earth. Gimli, a quite different character, is more concentrated on melee attacks and using his battle axe (his projectile weapons are smaller hand axes.) Aragorn is a mix of the two, using his sword and his bow combined with his decent speed and also good attacks to fend off orcs, uruk-hai, trolls, and all the other creatures. There is a great upgrading system as well. You get a grading on how well you battle each enemy: fair, good, excellent, or perfect. The points are totaled up and you get that much to "spend" on moves, weapons, and upgrades. I resent that it is a pure "hack-and-slash" game although many people think that. There is a good variety, i think, so you will have to, for example, battle bosses in a different way and other things. There is plenty of action, however. The missions are sweet! They're filled with exciting things to do, places to go, people to meet, and, of course, enemies to rid. People say that it is over too quickly but i would like to see them beat it in three hours or two hours or whatever they think they beat it in. I know all this because i've played my friend's Ps2. Xbox will take full advantage of this masterpiece by EA.
Graphics: 10 out of 10
Sound: 10 out of 10
Gameplay: 10 out of 10
Extras (hidden stuff and features): 11 out of 10

Biased? Naw, i'll just go with "flawless".

Amazing!

This game is soooo fun, but I have only played it on PS2. Naturally, it will have better graphics on Xbox and I can't wait until it comes out. In this game, you can be Legolas (my favorite and the best) Gimli, and Aragorn. You can buy items like the Lothlorien Bow, with experience points. This is one of the best games I have ever played, but this is no match for Halo!

The Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers is one of the best games in history!This game was wonderful on PS2 and believe me it's going to be a lot better on XBOX.The graphics will be so much better and it's going to have multi-player options.This is the best simply because the gameplay is absolutly extraordinary.In The Two Towers you have you have levels from both of the first two movies.So that means you get Ringwraiths(Black Riders),the Watcher in the Water,The Cave Troll,The Fighting Uruk-Hai, and best of all the Battle of Helm's Deep.You have defeat all of those with either Aragorn,Legolas,or Gimli.You could be the quick,bow and arrow shooting elf,Legolas,The short,axe skirmishing dwarf,Gimli,or a combination of the two in Aragorn.This game has excellent sound ,gameplay,and graphics and is sure to be on of the best of all time.

The most comprehensive game yet!

LoTR: The Two Towers is one of the most complete games yet, incorporating all elements of melee and ranged 3rd person combat, as well as varied attack techniques and moves, allowing for a hack& slash that doesnt get boring. The game incorporates the BOTH of the LoTR movies. If you want a great game, get this, leave the Fellowship of the Ring behind. The best part of the whole thing is that you can play as several characters from the movie, all of whom have different attack techniques, making it fun to beat the game time and time again!

LOTR Two Towers is the bomb

This game is hot. I cant wait for it to come out on XBOX it'll be way better, graphic-wise n'stuff, then PS2; which isn't all that horrible. I forced my PS2 owning cousin to get it and he himself was amazed. THe way they morphed scenes from the movie into digital animation and the combat moves are the awsome. And ladies don't think this games just for guys. I woped my male cousin's but and i'm no video game expert. So enjoy and fellow Xbox owners sit tight and deal w/ PS2 graphics for a little while longer our day will come.:)
