If you’re a fan of the movies, books, or the previous games, Return of the King is right up your alley. The game’s technical flaws are minor, and the game’s only other negative point is that it’s somewhat short. After you’ve beaten the game you can go back and play levels with different characters, though this isn’t much incentive to go back. Online play, which is PS2 exclusive, is a nice addition, but ROTK isn’t really a game that lends itself to online play. There’s not much strategy involved, but the ability to play co-op offline was a glaring oversight in the previous games, and is nicely implemented into ROTK. Even if you’re just a casual fan of the franchise, Return of the King is a solid fighting/adventure game that isn’t likely to disappoint.
