Talk:The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (video game)

Comment
Even thought the characters seem very similar at first, they all have very different attributes, and different strengths. I´ll change the article to reflect this.Atriel 22:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Vista
Will it run on vista? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.107.73 (talk) 09:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Kick
Wasn't kicking also a move that could be used? Bibliomaniac15 21:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah ... I had it in one of the earlier versions but it somehow got removed. Add it back in if you want, or I might if you don't. Actually, was it a kick for all the characters ? I think it's different for the hobbits. ~Viper~  22:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I know for sure that the hobbits kick. Bibliomaniac15 01:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well I haven't played in a while, so you're probably right. Feel free to add it ...  ~Viper~  01:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Who says I play it? I read the strategy guide for it. Bibliomaniac15 17:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I never said you played it.  ~Viper~  18:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Guys, I've played this a lot in the past few months and I know for sure the hobbits don't kick. Legolas, Aragorn and Faramir kick; the hobbits and Gimli push, and Gandalf pushes with his staff. By the way, is this game even based on the film? It doesn't have any music from The Return of the King, it has music from the first two films only. I found the levels The South Gate, The Pelennor Fields and The Black Gate pretty pathetic; they clearly weren't at all taken from the films. Scorpionman 17:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

That's what I thought ... gah. Of course it's based on the film. The Black Gate is taken from the film, I know that for sure. And I thought Pelennor Fields was too. Not exactly, but still.  ~Viper~  18:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It's based on the film but it's a pretty pathetic adaptation, in my opinion. You can't fight the Witch-king, and Gothmog's not even in here! And there aren't enough levels; I mean, the game based on King Kong has what-33 levels? This game has only fifteen! It's way too abridged, and there's not even any music from the film it's based on! I think they could have done a lot better. Scorpionman 12:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, but that seems kind of off-topic.  ~Viper~  18:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Right; well, as I was saying earlier I know the physical attacks of all the characters. Hobbits and Gimli push, Gandalf pushes with his staff, Aragorn, Legolas and Faramir kick.
 * Just one thing; a friend of mine told me that there is a cheat code that allows you to play as Gollum (or some such evil character) This article doesn't list any cheats, yet the article for Spider-Man: The Movie lists all its available cheats. We need some of those in the article. Scorpionman 01:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd like to point out that Wikipedia is NOT a strategy guide or cheat code repository. If you'd like to put cheat codes on a site, go to a gaming forum. Bibliomaniac15 03:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you tell me how to use this cheat? I've never seen it written anywhere else...

Re-writing the article
Wow. Currently this article reads more like a game guide than an encyclopedia. Well, I intend to change that. Over at my Sandbox, I'm going to be working on a re-write of the whole article over the next couple of weeks which should hopefully bring the article up to Good-Article status. Una LagunaTalk 07:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Update: after a three-four-month hiatus I'm going to start working on this article again at User:UnaLaguna/Sandbox/Sandbox01. Una LagunaTalk 12:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, would like to help! Started out with a bit of removal/shifting of content... More coming. Spiritaway5177 (talk) 18:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Made a final push in the last couple of days and finally finished. Hurrah hurrah! It only took 20 months >_>. Una LagunaTalk 13:32, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I come back after a 6-month break and you just finished it up! Kudos to you!! Have you applied for a reassessment? Spiritaway5177 (talk) 06:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's been re-assessed to B. We need to take the sales figures out as they're from an unreliable source (VGChartz), but otherwise I think it's ready for the GAN process. I won't nominate it just yet as I'm about to go on holiday for three weeks, but I'd like to nominate it some time mid-August and therefore be around for the GAR.

A-class assessment
Comment Support: My only problem with this article is that the GameInformer reference is dead. Besides that, the rest of the article is good. GamerPro64 (talk) 15:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Replaced with print reference (although the page itself can be accessed here with the Wayback Machine). Una LagunaTalk 16:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Support - I wanted to support this for awhile now, but wanted to see if anyone else found issue. Promoting to A class--Teancum (talk) 19:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

How many discs?
How many discs are there in each version of the game? I bought a used copy for PC and it has three CD-ROMs, install disc one and two and a Play Disc, but the case can hold four discs. Bizzybody (talk) 08:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The PC version comes on three CDs, as your version has. It's not uncommon for a game to be packaged in a box which can hold more CDs than needed. Una LagunaTalk 13:06, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
