From hunting ghosts to fighting it out in gladiatorial arenas, there are many underrated PS2 games you should check out in the goldmine.
A huge franchise, but which are the best The Lord of the Rings games for your time and money? Here's our top seven for all formats.
I remember Battle for Middle Earth 2, amazing game.
Also loved Two Towers & Return of the king.
& Shadow of Mordor was great.
Good list.
Never got to play the third age, I vaguely remember the cover art. Maybe I'll give it a shot someday
“The Lord of the Rings is one of few franchises that the Total War franchise has represented, but did so with both grace and flair.”
Is anyone gonna tell him that it’s not a really game? Kinda embarrassing, makes me think he hasn’t even played his “best” game.
I really enjoyed the first BFME game. At some point I became unable to play it. Wouldn't even start. Been many years since I tried getting it to run.
Throughout the 00s, EA brought us some of the best Lord of the Rings games? Where are they now? How can you play them? Are there remasters?
Completely forgot about that game! It was awesome. Had no idea what I was doing because I was young so I struggled with beating Sauron’s eye for 2 years.
I wish they made a new one, but with a new story detached from the movies.
that's kinda the beauty of the Lotr there is a lot of lore to make a game about and since not everything was written there is a lot of freedom to interpret that part of the lore that's there. or you just do what monolith Productions did. and just fuck the lore to create your own thing. although the thing that made that game good was the nemesis system.
I'm still hoping monolith makes a full open world middle earth game with more rpg elements and the nemesis system
Still got both battle for middle earth 1&2 for pc and two towers and ROTK for ps2
Man I wish they would make some more of these games or just remake or remaster the originals.
Cultured Vultures: On a dare, Jimmy dared Ash to write about the PS2 game The Bouncer, which isn't too fondly remembered. Ash would like to disagree.
I'd buy this game again if it was re-released. One of the only beat em ups by SquareSoft and fun af.
I still pop this in every now and then and play it through (it's very short) such a fun game
It wasn't that good of a launch game. Just pretty. SOR2 still embarrasses it. And that's on Genesis.
Urban Reign wipes the floor with it.

I used to play the demo religiously! Wasnt till recently that i got my hands on a copy, can't wait to get to it
Kudos for putting Kill.Switch and Chao Legion on the list. I love those games and agree they're underrated. Kill.Switch is one of my fav shooters on the PS2.
