Based on New Line Cinema's epic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy novels, The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers games will integrate cinema and gameplay to deliver an engaging interactive experience. In the game, players will be able to relive the most memorable movie moments from the first two films, Academy Award-winning "The Fellowship of the Ring" and upcoming "The Two Towers." Both versions of The Two Towers games will be released under the EA GAMES brand in fall 2002, in conjunction with "The Two Towers" movie.
Middle-earth comes to life in spectacular detail in EA's first "The Lord of the Rings" action adventure game. Both versions will feature action/adventure gameplay and a third-person perspective to enhance the overall experience.
As Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, players 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 players to react quickly and be strategic with their selection of characters, weaponry and combat moves. Set in 16 mission locations, each environment will have a close visual correlation to that seen in the first two films. The game is being co-developed by EA's Redwood Shores Studio and Stormfront Studios.
