This is the second and final part of Interplay's The Lord of the Rings series.
There was also a planned but never released MS-DOS version on CD-ROM, similar to the
CD-ROM version of Vol. I. This, along with its predecessor, is one of the best Tolkien
games available. The game frequently does not follow Tolkien's original plot, but most
of the time keeps in spirit with the books. A major criticism is that the major battle
scenes are uninspiring. Development was started on the third part of Interplay's The
Lord of the Rings series. Preliminary design was made for an RPG, similar to the first
two parts, but before any work was done on that it was decided to turn it into a
strategy game instead. Some design was made for that version, along with a little code
and graphics. The project was then put on ice due to low sales of Vol. II. |
