For those of you who desire to play this marvelous game and get the chance, please let us know what you think. I will be delving into it in the near future and if its anything like its originator the Two Towers, prepare for an epic experience. Admittedly, since the game uses actual movie footage and storyline closely expect some spoilers for the actual movie, which i do truely hope will be epic. The game screens are amazing, tell me what you think...

Here is what IGN thought, and they say its better than LOTRTT,

9.0 Presentation
Excellent, most excellent. The menus are majestic, the movie clips well edited.

8.5 Graphics
Far superior to last year's efforts, these graphics hold up well in single-player, but drop down a tap in co-op.

9.5 Sound
THX certified, and supporting Dolby Pro Logic II on PS2, ROTK's sound is superb. And very very loud.

8.9 Gameplay
Hack and slash perfected? Perhaps? Later combos can lead to some excellent juggles. Good, but occasionally uneven, level design makes for a unique trip in each.

9.3 Lasting Appeal
Play it once the right way, and then play it again by mixing it all up. It'll take you more than 10 hours the first time though. Overall, this game love you long time.

8.9 OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

Oh and new to this game is online play so there should be an appeal to most gamers...
