Return of the King was an eagerly anticipated release for the PC because the PC version of The Two Towers was cancelled and left out PC gamers from experiencing great LOTR action. The game is strongly influenced by the movie and the blending of movie scenes and ingame cutscenes is done wonderfully. It is essentially a hack-n-slash action adventure with a bit of role-playing elements added in. The movement is controlled by the keyboard but it is cumbersome with the default camera angles. A gamepad is a must to enjoy this game. The different playable characters makes it a lot of fun, though with Sam and Frodo the game is tougher. The settings are huge but the camera always keeps the focus on just a small area of the map, so the epic setting of the game is not really evident. However the game certainly brings to life the characters and it is fun to play it.
