AWESOME

just finished completing this game on PS2 and it is awesome.you can play solo or with friends and even online if you have the modem or network card installed for those having PS2's. dont worry about the fact that the movie doesnt come out for a few more weeks.they dont really give you any more film footage than the trailers do . awesome movie clips blend in with the game action, you start off as gandalf and then choose a path ,either the hobbits ,wizards or kings path. in the wizard's path you can only play as gandalf until you beat the game,likewise for the hobbit's path you can only play as sam until you beat the game. the kings path you can play as legolas,gimli or aragorn until you beat the game.once you beat the game, you get all the secrets,secret codes such as invincibility and unlimited range weapons and more ,interviews with cast and crew,a secret extra level and also get to play hidden characters like merry,pippin,frodo and faramir.choose your own adventure and take characters to places and battles they werent actually a part of in the real story,makes game play more interesting too .. ENJOY!!!! 5 STARS
