Whenever someone mentions the best Lord of the Rings game, it's always Return of the King that wears the crown.

Well I'm here to tell you that if any LOTR's game deserves a seconds chance... it's hands down Stormfront Studios video game adaption of The Two Towers!

    Two Towers, Return of the King, and Revenge of the Sith all had tie-in games that went HARD and rocked.
  • @PistNRods
    I used to think the way they did the transition from movie footage to in game renders was amazing. The future of gaming effects. 😂
  • @Hmuzammal786
    Literally searched up this game because I remember it being so so good. My brother and I played it growing up and I remember us being addicted. I can still remember so many bosses like ugluk, the tomb troll, the swamp monster and the battle of helm's deep, where you had to kick ladders down and fight endlessly, such a good game.
  • @minimannik
    Two Towers was my first game on ps2 alongside Fifa 2003. Will always remember playing through Moria with my little bro.
  • @SoreEyeMusic
    Aaah yes, Two Towers. The first game I ever 100% in my gaming time. I felt so achieved when I managed that, through the tower-levels and all that. Fantastic game.
  • @davedavey2524
    I was so naive as a child gamer that I didn’t release you could upgrade your skills until I got to the Breach of Helms Deeps wall level
  • @Vman_95
    I'm actually playing this now with GameCube emulator, truly more fun than new Gollum game for sure🔥💯
  • @Craicfox161
    I remember this one being much tougher than the return of the king game
  • @user-ck5fu7qc3x
    I got two towers on ps2 for christmas that year, I still remember that as the best christmas ever. I played the shit out of that game and it was absolutely amazing.
  • @goatman9998
    Fangorn forest is still a damned nightmare.
  • @JEREMCEE
    Can’t believe this game is 20 years old. I was six years when I first played it that’s crazy
  • @Margoth195
    This was my first game on the PS2 and heck i still have it. haven't played in years though. Thank you for this video nostalgia!
  • @jojotheswede8444
    i loved this game when i was little, amon hen and moria were some of my fav levels. good god, i feel old now
  • @ghostpepper4587
    I didn't play Return of the king, but had an absolute blast playing the two towers. Enjoyed it even more because we lost the dvd of fellowship and return of the king. So my brother and i would re-watch two towers every chance we got. Loved it❤
  • @darkgravystains
    Hell yeah this game rocked, i'm glad someone has covered it.
  • @Droy5555
    This game was amazing . When u said this game was rough i had crazy nostalgia . That game made u pay attention and if u were alreqdy an LOTR fan then this game was a shocker
  • Fangorn forest was brutal i was always happy when i got through it the level was danm tough but definitely the most memorable level to me when i think back to this game great video man
  • @notmus
    The third age game is the most forgotten and underrated of the series, i liked the combat system that reminds me if final fantasy X and the new characters was amazing, i still play it to this day.
  • This game was hard as shit. It kicked my ass several times especially the final helms deep levels. One of the few movie based games that actually pulled it off. Its impressive they got the actual cast.
