The King Of The Towers: The Return Of The Fellowship

You all remember that film? It was the best wrap up of a trilogy the world had ever seen to this day. And how can it not be? It had Magneto, Orlando Bloop, Grizzly the dwarf and off course the four hobbits, Sam, Bonobo, Piplip and Marian, but who cares about those four? We all went to see Legolas, Aragorn and the rest kill -all- the orcs ever! Then the game got released that fed all those savage needs. A game that wasted no time with trivial things, like story, plot and character development.

What do you wanna do? Kill orcs!

When do you want it? Now!

Oldies but Goldies proudly presents: The best game of our teenage years ever.

Graphics? Well standard 2000-ish, but you did not come here about -graphics- you came here for awesome animations and orc murder! You can do that! In spades! Pick up a spear, throw it at someone, who cares? You dont! Why should we?

Your arrows are lit up by the upgrades, making them super magical! Was that in the film? I don't know! It does not matter!

Scenes from the movie transition into gameplay graphics seamlessly and you can barely notice the difference. At least you could not, but today with your 17 million HD Pixel Smooth Double Blue Ray Vision screens its gonna be noticeable. But you wont mind. The animations are great. The response is perfect, the orcs are dead. That's it. Easier than walking into Merdor where the giant Eyed fire monster lives.

Clips from the movie. Music from the movie, I swear even voice acting from the voice actors FROM THE MOVIE! You throw a spear, you feel it hit. You throw a spear and miss, you can hear your own cursing in 3D audio, because it is not from the game but from your mouth

With all the battles from the movie showing up in the game, the sound had to be on par. And it is. From rubble falling, to orcs screaming, to sword's clashing, you can feel immersed and almost feel like you are in Middle Earth.

Its an action game. What do you want? Combos! You got em buster! Win points by killing people and not end up pushing daisies yourself. What are daisies? You don't know, you are a warrior, all you care is getting those sweet points to unlock -all- the combos. Perform combos, get their name flashing in the screen to make you feel warm and fuzzy, thus entering a perpetual loop of increasingly murderous combos, because you will never feel happy otherwise!

Gameplay is so good, I once had my cousin for a sleepover, and we played the game so much, he woke up at night, sleepwalked to the other room where my older brother was sleeping, woke him up and screamed in his face "THE ARROWS! WE NEED MORE ARROWS MAN!" much to my brothers confusion and fear. They did not understand, my cousin did. I did. This game does!

Don't be a goblin, get them arrows!

Best game of our teenage years.
Gameplay: 8/10
Why 8 and not 10? Because you cant play as Faramir from the start
Sound: 9/10
Why 9? Because Faramir and the unlockable characters do not get full sound effect support when they perform their insta-kills
Graphics: 6/10
Not gonna sugarcoat this my sweethearts. This game has not aged well. Animations hold up, responsiveness holds up, but the graphics look uglier than the Miss Orc pageants.

Get Arrows, get the game, release the river, help Ents.

The only game to rival this as the best game of our teenage years ever, is the one coming up next week.
Hint: It has Academy in the name
