Lord of the Rings Return of King - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

It played perfectly and it really brought back memories.

When I was a child, there was a toy castle put out by fisher-price or playmobil, I forget which. The playset was fun because of the interactivity with catapults, moats, trapdoors and drawbridges. The Return of the King gives you that kind of fun multiplied by 100. Play as any of the major characters from the films and fight off waves of orcs, uruk hai and trolls on top of crumbling castle walls or on battle fields or even in the Crack of Doom. Great with a friend since the screen is not split into two. My favorite stage is getting Samwise up into the orc tower to save Frodo. There are so many creative ways to wipe out large numbers of orcs that it becomes funny. Drop a drawbridge on some, drop a chandelier on others, poor burning oil on some, kick an exploding barrel down on the heads of others. The orcs and uruk hai are so busy fighting each other, you can slip on the ring and wipe them out unnoticed. Well, they do always spot you eventually, and then you better know how to swing that sword. Very cool and mostly very, VERY fun!
