  1. The deep and refined yet very entertaining action gameplay satisfies the urge to kick some Orc butt extremely well! Add one of the best soundtracks ever to grace the GBA.
  2. 88
    An engaging, action-packed adventure that admirably re-creates the captivating atmosphere of the films.
  3. The game opens with short segments from the new film. [Dec 2002, p.224]
  4. A really fun hack-n-slash RPG, with lots of items to collect and stats to earn. However, it would have benefited from side quests and character interaction.
  5. 80
    Way, way, way better than the "other" game that hit the GBA earlier this year; for those seeking the proper ring, this is the One.
  6. 80
    A huge, fun monster-whacker that would hold up pretty well even without its Tolkien license—it is mini-Diablo, after all.
  7. Despite the repetitious nature of the game that elusive magic quality has been captured in TTT and you would be well advised to tap into its powers.
  8. The fact that the game doesn't hold your hand and force you through the story is certainly one of the finer points.
  9. Strategic RPG elements greatly augment play and have the added benefit of balancing out the game's more mindless moments. [Jan 2003, p.210]
  10. As a beat-'em-up, The Two Towers fails to impress. As an RPG, it's fairly engaging and maysuck you in to extended play sessions. [Winter 2002, p.52]
  11. While it can indeed get repetitive fairly quickly, especially depending on the relative attention span of the player, those who enjoy simple battling and customization will get their money’s worth.
  12. It's hard not to cringe when a game takes such liberties with its license. The introduction of a currency system and randomly placed "stores" to buy items from seems more than a little forced in the Tolkien universe.
  13. There is enough of Tolkien's story and Jackson's presentation here to do the title justice, and enough classic action role-playing to make for an engaging, enjoyable game.
  14. The magic and item systems are very cool, but the combat is not. [Feb 2003, p.110]
  15. It features a huge amount of wanton fun, a massive sprawling challenge and plenty of items to collect and skills to improve. The only downside to the game is that once you’ve played for a few hours it all starts to get a little stale.
