"It's different enough from Universal's title, which is an action-adventure title based on Tolkien's literary works, for gamers to warrant a look at both. But if this game's score indicates anything to you, you'll know which one to pick." Review by Douglass C. Perry with screen shots and overall score [8.3].

"Due to the high level of collaboration between Stormfront, EA, and New Line Cinema, this title is an incredibly slick and well-rounded package. However, even without the extras, the game is simply so much fun to play that it's a title players are likely to come back to again and again just for a quick orc-hacking fix."

"When it comes to the graphical elements, this game is easily head-and-shoulders above others in the genre. From the spark of a parried attack, to the whirr of a blurred blade slashing through the air and a kick that knocks opponents back and off-balance so the killing blow can be struck, this game is a visual delight. The sound elements only add to the overall effect, and make The Two Towers a fantastic outing." Review by Michael Lafferty with overall score [9.8] and screen shots.

"Did I have high expectations for the game? Sure, but even if you were to strip the license away, the games lack of focus, sub-par AI, and unbalanced gameplay make the game mediocre at best." Review by Kaiser Hwang with overall score [6.7] and screen shots.

"For gameplayers, linear is not good. Though a game sports a variety of puzzles, they should change up a bit for the sake of diversity, something that this game doesn't appear able to do. The enemy AI is suspect." Review by Michael Lafferty with overall score [8.0] and screen shots.
