EA’s first The Lord of the Rings action/adventure game will take players through the roles of the key action heroes from New Line Cinema’s epic film trilogy. As Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, players will battle Orcs and memorable movie monsters, with other members of the Fellowship taking a very active role during gameplay. The game features dramatic camera views of the action within fully 3D interactive environments taken straight from the big screen. A visceral, tactical combat system will encourage players to be strategic with their selection of characters, weaponry and moves. Multiple titles based on New Line’s The Lord of the Rings license are currently in development for next generation systems, the first game will be released in conjunction with the second movie in Fall 2002.
