LORD OF THE RINGS RETURN OF THE KING GAMECUBE

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a 2003 action/hack and slash video game developed by EA Redwood Shores for the PlayStation 2 and Windows, by Hypnos Entertainment for the GameCube and Xbox, by Griptonite Games for the Game Boy Advance and by JAMDAT for mobile. The game was published by Electronic Arts. It is a sequel to the 2002 game The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

The game is an adaptation of Peter Jackson's films The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, released in 2002, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, released shortly after the game in 2003. As it is not an adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1954 novel, The Return of the King, the third volume in his Lord of the Rings trilogy, anything from the novel not mentioned or depicted in the films could not be represented in the game. This is because Vivendi held the rights to the video game adaptations of the novels, whilst Electronic Arts held the rights to the video game adaptations of the films.

The game is similar to its predecessor in basic gameplay, but differs by adding multiple storylines, more playable characters and increased interaction with environments. A two-player co-op mode is also available for some missions. As with The Two Towers, The Return of the King was developed in close collaboration with New Line Cinema, using many of the actual reference photos, drawings, models, props and other assets from the film. The game was met with positive critical reception for its graphics, audio, and gameplay, although its camera positioning and short length were criticized.
