The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Described by the developers as a modern version of Gauntlet, The Return of the King is a hack and slash action game. The game is very similar to its predecessor. The levels are twice the size of the largest level from The Two Towers and less linear. A major change from The Two Towers is the interactive nature of the game environments. The player can operate machinery, for example bridges and catapults to complete objectives, and use environment objects as weapons, such as spears and cauldrons to kill enemies. Each character has their own set of combos and attributes. After the end of each level the player can upgrade their characters' abilities and combos using experience points earned in the game. The number of experience points available to the player depends on the efficiency of their kills in the game. Interviews with the film's cast and similar DVD-style extras are unlocked as the player progresses through the game.
