EA's first Lord of the Rings action adventure game will allow you
to take control of the motion picture trilogy's action heroes Aragorn,
Legolas and Gimli, with other members of the Fellowship also taking
an active role during gameplay. In The Two Towers, you will battle
a variety of Orcs and square off against vicious boss monsters including
the Cave Troll and Saruman. A tactical gameplay system will encourage
you to react quickly and be strategic with your selection of characters,
weaponry and combat moves.
Middle-earth comes to life in spectacular detail: set in over 16
mission locations, each environment will have a close visual correlation
to that seen in the first two films. As a backdrop to the action,
the game will feature Howard Shore's Academy Award-winning musical
score.
Electronic Arts has secured the exclusive worldwide licensing rights
to create games based on New Line's epic trilogy. The Two Towers
will be the first in an ongoing series of Lord of the Rings games.
Future titles are currently in development and will be released
on multiple platforms in 2003 and 2004.
