First Looks at LotR - Return of the King

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gondor-and-beyondor dept.

I was perusing Gamers.com this morning and saw that they've posted a couple previews of the next Lord of the Rings game, Return of the King. There's a preview of the console version, as well as a look at the PC version. The producer of the games comments that: "The two key areas we wanted to make sure we nailed this time around were the addition of co-op and better interaction with the levels... If last year's game was Golden Axe meets Lord of the Rings, then this year's game is Gauntlet meets Lord of the Rings."

    A console version? I thought even hoping for a Linux version was in vain, but a console version? No graphics, only a text interface? That's impressive!

    Does this mean that when I play the game, I'll hear constantly "Green Legolas needs food badly!"
