That drastic difference in tone and art style from Return of the King to The Hobbit was like going from Call of Duty to Zelda Wind Waker. Great video. I'm glad the Lord of the Rings GameCube titles are finally getting their recognition. They were wonderful titles to play back then and very addicting because of the action, leveling up, and cinematic quality.
Haha yeah, although I don’t mind the art style for The Hobbit since it looks the part of a platformer. The EA LotR games really were awesome, and glad I could highlight them here! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Excellent video! I have Return of the King and while the gameplay can be a bit tricky to get adjusted to, the presentation is quite strong. Also, here's a fun fact: Charles Martinet, the former voice of Mario, provided voice work for EA's Lord of the Rings games, notably voicing Eaoden in The Third Age.
I have some great memories playing Two Towers and Return of the King with my life long buddy Jacob! I've always wanted to play the Hobbit, looks cool and I'm glad to see your thoughts on it! Thanks for the upload!! Side note: I have since played smugglers run which you'd highlighted recently and it's so much fun! Really loving it so far! Surprised at how well it handles! I don't play a ton of racing/ driving games but have been interested lately and this is one I will for sure be putting more time into! Keep it up with the videos! Love them!
Oh that’s awesome man! Glad to hear you have memories playing those 2 LotR games! Yeah, The Hobbit is a solid one that’s worth checking out! Dude, that’s awesome to hear you started playing Smuggler’s Run Warzones after the previous video! Glad you’re really enjoying it!!
I played The Two Towers on my gamecube as a teenager but by the time Return of the King came out I had an Xbox and got it on that. Loved both games. Great hack and slash games and really great movie tie ins. Wish we still got awesome LOTR games these days instead of stuff like Gollum. I would like to play the Hobbit since that story is special to me. As a little kid I watched my dads VHS of The 70's Hobbit Cartoon before I even knew what LOTR was.
Both Two Towers and Return of the King are awesome games for sure! The Hobbit is definitely one I'd recommend playing, especially if you have memories watching the 70s cartoon! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Excellent video; nice info without being too much which makes it interesting to want to look into each game for the uninitiated. I seem to remember (from an issue of EGM) the movie based games had direct influence by Peter Jackson and his production company (much like his Gamecube King Kong game) which would explain the higher-end product.
Thank you man! Glad you felt the pacing was just right too! That’s correct about Peter Jackson’s influence, and the same goes double for King Kong (which is easily in my top 10 licensed GameCube games). It definitely would explain the end results of these games 👍. Thanks again for checking out the video!
I'll have to get Two towers sooner than later, It was my favorite film of the trilogy. I wish the GC got the crime movie games like Scarface, Godfather and even Sopranos like the PS2 Xbox, and Wii did instead of neglecting the GC. Great video as always!
Highly recommend getting Two Towers! I also wish those mobster games came to the GameCube. At the same time, I love how Godfather played on the Wii, and heard Scarface on the Wii is the best version to experience, which I need to get! Thanks for checking out the video!
I was really impressed with the game for sure! I didn't finish it yet, but look forward to going back to complete it! Thanks for checking out the video man!
LOTR was such a cool franchise when we were growing up. I loved the movies and they are still fun to watch. Haven't played any of the games besides Middle Earth II on the 360 so I'm excited to see how these look. I have the LOTR The Fellowship of the Rings that you mention on the Xbox, and I'm surprised it never came to the GameCube but that's really cool that there's portions of both films in The Two Towers to make up for it. The gameplay looks great. The Hobbit is one I'd like to play through soon. It looks fun and whimsical like you said. That's super cool that the Third Age is a brand new story. Great topic, thankful I own all of these already! Just need to play them.
The franchise really was at its peak back then, and glad we grew up with its popularity. Yeah, I heard The Fellowship of the Ring game is very slow-paced and kind of just “average” at best. Thankfully, Two Towers is from a developer that nailed the films! The Hobbit is surprisingly solid for what it is, and I was enjoying my time so far with it! Third Age is REALLY good too, and a FAR better original story than the Rings of Power series that released on Amazon lol. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Great Video! I remember playing The Two Towers, Return of the King and The Third Age back then, but on my PS2. PS: You're the first american (I suppose) I see named Marcelo (You and I have the same name, but I'm from Brazil and it's a pretty commom name here, especially with people among my age - 40ish.).
Big LOTR fan here, just started my GC collection and will definitely try to add these. Off topic but maybe do a video on the football games like NFL Blitz and etc.
Awesome! Hope your GC collection journey is going well so far 👍. I’ve thought of doing a football game episode, or an episode on arcade-style sports games like NFL Blitz, NHL Hits, etc. Thanks for checking out the video man!
It is rare to see a series or IP that has had many a handful of titles during the 6th generation, and to have some good to great qualities in each individual title. I have never experienced any of these but they sure look fun and entertaining, especially the Hobbit. Might not be the most ideal but a Friday night with pizza and brews sounds like it'll be a good time. Great work again man!
Couldn’t agree more! I didn’t have it back in my childhood (I do now lol), and used to play it in co-op at my friends house. Really was an awesome time in co-op, and speaks volumes how these games made the movies more special 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!
I was very surprised at how solid that was! I remember it receiving mixed reviews back then, but I liked what I played so far! Thanks for checking out the video man!
I just got LotR Third Age, it really looks quite unique and awesome. Arguably one of the best things made in the whole LotR Universe. And lol, first I heard of the second season of RoP was an ad before this video.
The Third Age is surprisingly good and very well thought-out! Haha yeah, not sure how a second season got cleared after the abysmal first season lol. Thanks for checking out the video man!
I’ve been curious about these games! I have them all on the Xbox but yet to play them, this was a great vid to see some play through and hear your thoughts! Nice work my friend! ❤️🎮
I remember playing Two Towers so much. I plucked my hair out untill I was bald, due to the goddamn the level before the last one. The godf****ng door! I would destroy it personally if I could. Return of the King, I pkayed with my sibling so much, I think I got muscle memory from it until today,like... 17 years later. And The Third Age. It was such a strange game, but I really liked it and it was very rare for a RPG to allow two person playing, which wss great to me and my sibling
Haha yeah, that mission was a rough one in The Two Towers! That's awesome you played Return of the King with your sibling, as it's perfect for co-op. The Third Age really surprised me at how good it is! Thanks for checking out the video!
Great video! I am a fan of the LOTR games and I really enjoyed The Hobbit, which gave Zelda-esque vibes. The one game in this haven’t played is The Third Age and now I need to. Thanks for your overviews.
I've never played a lord of the rings video game on any console... but I did pick up LotR Gollum on the PS5, so I have that to look forward to. I heard it's great!
Lmao! That would DEFINITELY not be the first LotR game to ever experience...unless you intentionally play the worst, then try these and be blown away at how games from approximately 20 years ago were FAR better lol! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Ea did a chef kiss job with all these tie in movie games on that generation if consoles. I dont know how they only kept star wars. The third age looks very inspired by FFX, idk it reminds me a lot to that combat system. ¡Nice video man! Hope you make a harry potter one.😂
They really did! The Third Age was very much inspired by FFX based on what I read about the development of the game. Glad you enjoyed the video, and definitely planning an “Every Harry Potter GameCube Game” episode in the near future!
I had Two Towers back in the day, I always loved that game! I always felt like the characters you chose were almost like choosing a difficulty; Legolas is easy, Aragorn is medium, and Gimli being hard. I could be wrong, that was just my impression though. As a Gimli fan I always felt like I got the short end of the stick compared to my friends... pun intended lol
Two Towers is such a great game! That’s an interesting way to perceive difficulty based on character, but I felt the same way as well haha. There’s a difficulty option in the options, but the characters do add another layer to it. Pun well played btw lol. Thanks for checking out the video man! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow, that’s a fun fact to share! I knew they went on to develop Forgotten Realms Demon Stone, but I never got around to playing it. That’s really neat they used the same engine! Thanks for checking out the video and sharing that tidbit!
I've played all these games but on PS2 loved all of them. Love the Hobbit Game had it as a kid my uncle had The Third Age fantastic RPG and.. Fellowship😅 played Towers and Return during the Pandamic Fantastic games. Me personally I prefer Towers over Returns not sure why... my guess cuz it has Fellowship Levels as well as Towers. I'd recommend all of theses games even Fellowship Game Especially if u looove the book 📖
Nice!! What's funny is I also prefer Two Towers over Return of the King, but could be a nostalgia thing for me personally lol. Good to hear the Fellowship PS2/Xbox game is still worth checking out too! Thanks for checking out the video!
I played The Hobbit, The Two Towers and The Third Age extensively as a kid. They were all excellent games and the game for The Hobbit actually gave me some strong expectations for how the Hobbit movies would end up as. Needless to say I was disappointed but not nearly as much as I was with The Rings of Power!
Nice! Yeah they’re really great games for sure! The Hobbit game surprised me with how much I enjoyed my time with it so far, but need to see the films still! And yeah, Rings of Power is a travesty and embarrassment 😂. Thanks for checking out the video man!
This is a cool List of the Lord of the Rings Game. I got a sad story and I don't know if is a game breaking glitch, but somehow if I changed my disc on the 2nd one of the The Third Age on my Gamecube, 2nd Disc didn't do the change and it was in the end of disc 1. I thought this version is maybe broken, so afterward I bought another copy of the game and I still don't know if is the version I bought or the modchip of my GC did the issue or the Disc Lens, which I don't think this is the issue, cos it would read the other gamecube games also terribly. Good Video Mister :D
Oh wow, that’s crazy man! Sorry to hear this happened to you. Hopefully one day you can finish the game on disc 2 (if you can get a working copy going)! Thanks for checking out the video, and glad you enjoyed it!
@@GameCubeGalaxy I love the gamecube and it's to me underated also with their multiports games. And yeah it's kinda sad, I never finished the third age, cos I like the game and the difficulty it has. Also you can play good and evil which is pretty cool, including the coop gaming on this game :D

Some years ago, a local retro seller offered me The Third Age for GameCube, CIB, at a ridiculously low price. I think I paid less than 10 bucks for it. Now it sells for roughly 3x its original price (I don't know about the PS2/Xbox prices, though). Oh, and kudos to you for calling Rings Of Power for what it really is: abysmal.
Oh really? Yeah the game currently goes for about the $25-30 range on the GameCube, still more than you got it for though! And glad you agree about Rings of Power, that show is a dumpster fire 😂! Thanks for checking out the video man!
I didn't get a chance to test out that mode, but felt that would be better for me to cover if I do an in-depth review for the game one day! Thanks for checking out the video!
Had no idea the thirs age was turn based. Makes me wonder what could have been if it was released later on or if they could do a follow up since they seem to be done with the shadow of mordor and gollum. Might be a decent place to revisit for lotr games.
I have two towers and return of the king. Both very fun hack n slash games. Thought about getting the third age but not really a fan of turn based combat
Heck yeah! Two Towers and Return of the King are a blast to play. I’m not a fan of turn-based combat typically either, but I was definitely having fun with Third Age! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Agreed! The Two Towers was one I grew up with back in the day and loved it! I need to finish the others still, but they’re all great fun! Thanks for checking out the video!
I've only played the movie games, not Hobbit or Third Age. Return of the King co-op was a blast, especially on Viddy Plays, though one or two of the levels did kinda get too hard.
Nice! Return of the King in co-op is a blast for sure! I’d recommend giving the Hobbit and Third Age a look one day too if you enjoy the property 👍. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Oh that stinks you can’t revisit earlier levels! Yeah that would be pointless to keep the save file after completion then lol. Thanks for checking out the video!
I really do want to play these games at some point I do have all of them on a Nintendont emulator that I have for the wii And I have done them as roms These are considered fantastic games on the game cube And these are must play for tolken fans And for fans of the books and The amazing peter jackson movies 😅😊😂.
What is the main reason you call rings of power Abysmal And are you looking forward to season two or do you think it's going to be even worse than the first season.
Honestly, the show is just very poorly written, the acting is cringe at times, and just isn’t good at all. A majority of the viewers seem to really dislike it too based on the 37% audience rating, hence why I’m surprised there’s a 2nd season releasing lol.
Does anyone else thinks she looks like marissa from street fighter 6? Look it up to see what i am referring to.its almost as if that character's design is based off this female mma fighter.

Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved The Hobbit one, but it needed a feature to revisit earlier levels. It's pointless to keep the save file, and it takes up a lot of space too!
Oh that stinks you can’t revisit earlier levels! Yeah that would be pointless to keep the save file after completion then lol. Thanks for checking out the video!
I really do want to play these games at some point I do have all of them on a Nintendont emulator that I have for the wii And I have done them as roms These are considered fantastic games on the game cube And these are must play for tolken fans And for fans of the books and The amazing peter jackson movies 😅😊😂.
Nice! I highly recommend playing them! They’re all quality experiences for sure! Thanks for checking out the video man!!
Can you do a review on all Harry Potter GameCube games?
Definitely one I've been planning to do!
Nice Work.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video!
I really enjoyed the third age
It's a surprisingly good game for sure! Thanks for checking out the video man!
I do have a question.Would you say the hobbit Video game Is very accurate to the Hobbit book.
Supposedly it is accurate to the book 👍
The question is: have you beaten the baten kaitos games
Believe it or not, I have yet to play those games! One day I’ll get around to them, and cover them on the channel!
@@GameCubeGalaxy good luck man. They are extremely long games and also very challenging
What is the main reason you call rings of power Abysmal And are you looking forward to season two or do you think it's going to be even worse than the first season.
Honestly, the show is just very poorly written, the acting is cringe at times, and just isn’t good at all. A majority of the viewers seem to really dislike it too based on the 37% audience rating, hence why I’m surprised there’s a 2nd season releasing lol.
Are you Hoping That season two It is going to be a better season of rings of power Then the first season.
wtf were they thinking "stormfront studios"
You just simply… never save enough times 😅
Lmao! Brilliant use of that line 😂. Thanks for checking out the video!
Does anyone else thinks she looks like marissa from street fighter 6? Look it up to see what i am referring to.its almost as if that character's design is based off this female mma fighter.
Which character in the video were you referring to? Now I'm curious lol. Thanks for checking out the video in the meantime!
Back when EA cooked
You know it’s a valid opinion when the GameCube guy himself calls something abysmal lol now I know not to watch rings of power
Haha it’s really bad, with cringe acting and bad dialogue. Thanks for checking out the video man!
I am playing through the third age at the moment just got through mines of Moria. Loving it so far
Oh awesome man! Yeah I need to go back and finish it, but I was hooked from the time I put in so far! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy I over leveled my skills and abilities for that stage of the game. I was scared to fight the Balrog.😅
@@wadedewellthe Balrog was the best part of that game but was really tough if you were un prepared
