OMGP: The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Manage episode 372104458 series 2907108
For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Jesse sit down to discuss one of the most beloved movie games of all time. After EA’s Two Towers video game established a winning formula the year before, The Return of the King expanded on its predecessor by adding more playable characters, making the environments more interactive, and by improving the graphics and the cinematic framing of the events happening around the player. The combat was smooth, the option to play in co-op added another element to the experience, but ROTK is still a PS2 era tie-in so it shoe horns in some goofy boss battles, and in the name of providing a more rounded out experience, it makes Sam into a formidable orc-slayer. The Return of the King set the standard for movie games and Lord of the Rings games moving forward, and it’s finally time to geek out about it
