Video Games : The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (GBA)
Rating: 
- Blew me away!
I am not a big fan of the gameboy as most games have no replayibility once you finish. I prefer racing games on them because the outcome is normally different. However, when I walked into GAME one day with £30 burning a hole in my pocket my eyes rested on LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING. And, boy, was that a good buy. You play as all of the fellowship and a few secret characters. the game has bosses, which, have special powers. You play through 100's of levels, collecting and upgrading weapon (pro's, the hard hero's are: Legolas, Gandalf and Eowyn) The best bit is that you can upgrade attributes by collecting points by killing enemies. + when you kill enough enemies you go up a "level" which gives you a point to spend on special powers. There are also secret levels, which you unlock as you play the game. Upon selecting a secret level you chooose a difficulty (normal, hard or grueling, normals easiest!) and you load one of your saved games so when you start you have all of your equipment. When playing these levels if you hapen to complete it you can save your game to keep equipment, jewels points etc. If you complete the game you can save it and start again with everything you collected last time! There is so much to do in this game! A MUST BUY! DO IT NOW OR YOUR GAMEBOY WILL RUN OFF! READ MY LIPS! BEST GAME ON GAMEBOY EVER!
Rating: - Diablo in Middle Earth
Having bought and enjoyed the GBA version of "the Two Towers", I'd heard this was more of the same. It is - and it's even better.
It's a third-person fighting game, following the plot of "Return of the King", and if you've ever played Diablo, it's the same sort of thing. Wander round, hack and slash at the bad guys, pick up the bits of weapons and armour they leave behind and sell them to buy better equipment and skills for your character.
You can play several characters from the game, each of which has different strengths and weaknesses, and each of which follows a slightly different plot depending on their role in the story. This allows the game to replayed several times in completely different ways if you decide to finish it with each different character.
The graphics are well-done, and there are screenshots from the film to illustrate bits of the story (including bits which were clearly cut from the film - get your sneak preview of the extended version here!). The music is excellent, being based on key signature themes from the score, and it's not too tinny either, for a GBA game.
If I had any complaints at all, it would be that they've made it slightly too easy since enemies don't do much damage and good items are introduced very early in the game - the Two Towers game was a lot more challenging.
Definitely nice to look at, fun to play, and many hours of entertainment to be had from it too.

- Amazing!!!
When i first got it for christmas i started playing on it straight away. i new what to do because i recently watched the film. It has great graphics and its not like on of those easy games which you complete in a day. It features some of the sound tracks from the film.
enoug about what i liked about, here are two things you can do with two types of cables:
1.link cable-Connect up to a friends gba/sp and trade items fight enemys with each other
2.gba to gc cable-unlock characters and play on the gamecube (only if you have the gc version of tis game)
Rating: - WOW!!!
This game gives you everything. It is done in the same layout as The Two Towers GBA game.
You can choose ou of 6 different charachters:
Gimli (YES!!!!!!)
Legolas
Frodo
Sam
Gandalf (MAGIC!!!!!)
Aragorn
Pluss you can unlock a furthter 2:
Eoywin (spelling???)
Someone else (have to unlock her/him first then I'll tell you).
Each charcater (like in The Two Towers GBA Game) has different skills (MAGIC-Gandalf!) and abilitys(MAGIC!!!!) which can be upgraded from leval to leval. This makes the game a chooce altoghter: which character? What abilitys? What Skills?
And the is not ALL!!! The game has levals from ALL 3 films and has a multi way option. There must be over 200 levals in all! (Twice that of The Two Towers GBA game!!!).
And then there is still the multi player! Join and go threw the game OR do multi player maps not in SINGLE PLAYER!!! You can unlock new items with this pluss new skills!!!
All in all the Game is V.Good!!! It has everything that The Two Towers has plus more. (e.g Gimli for Single player, 2,000 new items and hundreds more skills!!).
GET IT!!!
