![]() ![]() Skills are split by level with max level being eight. The Two Towers avoids that by offering a massive number of attacks to purchase. One of my biggest issues with the beat ‘em up genre is its small move set. The better the grades at the end of a level the more experience awarded. This is important as your combos and attacks are graded, from fair, good, excellent and perfect. Here your attacks will one shot enemies perfect status lasts until you take a hit. Performing successive attacks without taking damage will fill it faster and once full enables perfect status. You can chain these moves together to perform combos which fills the meter. You have a fast attack, a heavy attack mainly used to break shields, and a few defensive moves to block or parry attacks. He is strongest but is so slow it isn’t worth bothering.īy default you have a lot of combat options. He has no flaws making him the go to in every situation. Aragorn is well rounded in all categories perhaps a bit too good in my opinion. ![]() He is the best with a bow as he attacks twice as fast and has a stock of sixty arrows. However he requires nuance to use effectively. Legolas is probably the fan favorite that everyone will rush to. All three characters have their differences, although they are a bit too much. The rest of the fellowship will fight by your side at set points. Outside of its introduction where you control Isildur Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are your three main characters. But for what they have created it works well enough. To be fair EA were limited in a weird deal they had the movie license while Vivendi had the book license. Interspersing clips from the movies to serve as bridging devices between stages makes it feel disjointed. As far as telling a cohesive narrative, eh, they tried. The most important plot points of both movies are the source for levels in the game. The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers is a great game that has held up quite well over the years.ĭespite its title The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers condenses the first two films into one game. EA not only created a game faithful to its source material but also made one of the best beat em ups in years. The genre had fallen by the wayside once the 32-bit consoles hit as no one could translate that gameplay to 3d effectively. No one thought Electronic Arts would create a 3d brawler. But I’m pretty sure most expected an epic adventure game along the lines of Zelda or Legacy of Kain. When the Lord of the Rings films hit it was only a matter of time before licensed titles would follow. Developer: Electronic Arts Publisher: Electronic Arts Released: 2002 Genre: Action
