The Lord of the Rings: The Two Hours!

An overall decent hack and slash and one of the better movie game tie-ins. The levels are rather short though but the fact you can replay them as different characters does give it replay value. I will say I do wish the secret unlockable character was Gandalf instead of Isildur. It would've been more fun I feel playing as him since he's a wizard and would've had different move sets compared to Isildur who is basically just a skin for Aragorn.

ARAGORN
Aragorn is probably the most balanced character to play as. His ranged and sword attacks are powerful but not as strong as Gimli's axe or Legolas's bow.

LEGOLAS
Legolas has the best-ranged attacks but he's weaker when it comes to close-quarters combat.

GIMLI
Gimli surprisingly I found to be the strongest of the characters. His axe attacks feel more powerful than the other characters and he's definitely the best to use when it comes to taking out Trolls plus he has the most health. His throwing axes are weak as hell though and playing as him on the Breached Wall level is a pain because there so weak and you get overwhelmed by exploding berserkers easier compared to Aragorn or Legolas.

Despite playing on even the lowest difficulty it's still quite a challenging game. The enemies attack quickly and there are no spare lives and a lot of levels you have to restart if you fail them.
