One ring to rule them all
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 video games will integrate cinema and gameplay
to deliver an epic interactive experience. In the game, players
will be able to relive the most memorable movie moments from
the first two films, "The Fellowship of the Ring"
and "The Two Towers."
EA's first The Lord of the Rings action
adventure game will allow players to take control of the motion
picture trilogy's action heroes: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli,
with other members of the Fellowship taking an active role
during gameplay. In The Two Towers, 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.
Middle Earth comes to life in spectacular
detail. Set in over 16 mission locations, each environment
will have a close visual correlation to that seen in the first
two films. As a backdrop to the action, the game will feature
Howard Shore's Academy Award-winning musical score.
Electronic Arts has secured the exclusive
worldwide licensing rights to create games based on New Line's
epic trilogy. The Two Towers will be the first in an ongoing
series of The Lord of the
Rings games. Future titles are currently in development and
will be released on multiple platforms in 2003 and 2004.
