The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

"Smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeagle wins!!"

Wow...The stunning trilogy of the games, books, and movies come to an end...The end all ends. Not only is Return of the king better than the last two It surpasses them in so many different ways, graphics, Sound, Music, Game play, Re playability, Story. Just everything about this game is simply better than the last two More action, more levels, more story, just more.

Graphics
Wow!!!!!!! I mean man I was blown away by the Graphics in The lord of the rings The return of the king It blew past all of the Previous games in graphics by 135%, The characters are well rounded, have all the details and are quite realistic, The background is excellently done it gives a perfect touch to the game and sets the moods, The inanimate objects are carefully illustrated and as the characters have details and are well rounded
*Summary*: These graphics will have you throwing the other two Lord of the ring games out of the window in a fit of rage!!!
Overall Score: 10

Sound
Excellent Sound the sound is not too upbeat too make light of the situation and not too low beat too bore you too death while playing and not too Dangerous so you're like: ''Oh my God what the hell is that????, oh its just a box'' The music as does the Graphics set a perfect tone and mood for the entire game. Sound effects........ I can some up the sound effects in one word: Whoa, They make you feel as if you were Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, Gimli etc; and you were right there on the battle field killing Orks they add a touch too the game that is phenomenal
*Summary*: This games sound will have you drooling and saying more more more!!!!!!!
Overall Score: 10

Gameplay
*sigh* Righting this review makes me want to play right now...Speaking of playing The gameplay in The return of the King is fantastic!!!!!!! Its Hack and slash heaven... Swords, Bows Axes everything a person hungry for hardcore fighting could want.....The movement is a little tricky at first but it soon becomes like an involuntary action. The Gameplay is just so perfect you will be sitting there with Eyes widened and Jaw dropped.
*Summary*: Wow.....
Overall Score: 10

Re playability
this is the only bad thing about the game its Re playability: Eh...Its ok I mean The game is so long that it's kind of hard to Replay it right after you beat it once..I found it annoying the second time with all the fighting it gets repetitive but none the less still as fun as the the first time through
*Summary*: Eh....Its ok but a little repetitive
Overall Score: 6

Story
Ah The games best aspect in my opinion it continues the fantastic story developed on the first two games: The Fellowship of the Ring and The two towers This story being of course of Frodo Baggins and his struggles as he attempts to Destroy the Ring of Power in the Fires of Mordor.
Overall Score: 10

Total Score: 46/50 divided by 5: 9.5/10 Rounded to 10/10

**Overall Summary**: This game is a definite Buy for action Lovers and RPG Lovers (as It as RPG aspects in it) and a Definite Rent for anyone else
