Nothing beat waking up at 7AM on a Saturday, booting up the ole PS2, and playing this for hours and hours

[@justanotherhuumon]

Agreed.

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Yee - a certified hood classic

[@Josh_da_Ghosh]

I love these vintage titles

[@Barefoot-Jaycee]

​@@Josh_da_Ghosh vintage?! I knew this day would come eventually, but it just seems too soon... Ugh, I'm old now.

[@TheTuttle99]

​@@Josh_da_Ghoshvintage. That actually hurts bro damn

[@SlothinAintEasy]

This game was nuts. Lotr games were like the only good movie tie in games for ages.

[@gadblatz4841]

The Warriors by Rockstar.

[@ayuvir]

Sw episode 1 racer was pretty dope ngl.

[@bobthebuilder6553]

Star wars episode 3 was great. Movie tie in games used to be pretty good most of the time.

[@jacob4189]

Spider-Man 2

[@turefarwell920]

The Harry Potter games were pretty good depending on the movie it was based on.

[@SixStringsBroken]

The fact that this still holds up is incredible. Truly the peak of gaming.

[@timj6121]

These games you'd play multiple times. I think this game you'd play 5.5 times - once with each 4 main characters, once with isildur, and the .5 to get all the bonus/secret stuff. Then doing local multiplayer bouncing play styles off eachother and switching up characters and competing for scores meant this one game could be a whole childhood. This was like when white goods manufacturers hadn't discovered planned obsolescence yet and how fridges from the 50s still work, cause the manufacturers didn't realise it was better to make something that you couldn't reuse so the customer would return

[@dem0nchild610]

One of the best LOTR games ever made

[@TealWolf26]

Possibly my favorite.

[@Malachiaya]

Literally the only good LOTR games were made before 2010, not had a good one in ages. There's a mod for BFME 2, which gives it a lot of life, it's BRILLIANT. BFME 1 is being remade by fans as is Conquest. Wish someone would remake ROTK

[@RhysCallinan-bv1wi]

​@@MalachiayaBFME is great. The map campaign was my favourite. I have watched stuff for the second game, as well as the others like the Edain mod and such.

[@Malachiaya]

@@RhysCallinan-bv1wi BFME is brilliant, especially BFME 2 with the Age Of The Ring mod, it's a shame the Devs for that mod are arseholes though. Brilliant developers but shit people skills

[@carcosa_swamp]

LOTR: Conquest is my childhood nostalgia game and one of the more underrated lotr games out there

[@4323dustin]

This game was peak when i was a kid

[@ASienFire]

that shit was gold, with 2 players split screen

[@SunnyThief]

Oh my god this was one of my favorite games back in the day. I'll grab some popcorn, thanks for yet another amazing upload dude :) the nostalgia is real

[@Doc_Hawk]

Dude, this game brings me back so much. Watching my sister play this. She was so obsessed with LOTR when we were kids lol

[@SolazLive]

Gimli may have the melee damage but his small steps barely move him forward while swinging so he ends up missing so much

[@ondank]

This was the first game I ever played on PS2. I loved it. Especially when I found out that jiggling the right analogue stick filled the combo meter by auto combo-ing and gave you superpowered attacks. Cleaving through hordes of goblins was so satisfying. This has triggered a flashback though to the beserker who jumps out of the log in fangorn. Return of the king was a pretty good game too, although too many of the characters there were reskins of each other and it didn't quite work as well.

[@NameIsDamz]

This unlocked so many memories playing this as kid I didn’t even realise were in my brain 😅 so much nostalgia

[@xDragonHybridx]

I remember playing this as a kid. Not sure if my game was bugged or if it could just happen a lot, but that little bit at 1:30 had aragorn's model just slip off the edge of the cliff mid-cutscene

[@FinalPenance]

I got an Xbox Original and this game for Christmas in 2004.. good memories

[@CaptainPlainJaneway]

How this hasn't been remastered is a crime against humanity.

[@dash4800]

I like hinge said the game has no replay value but we all played it a million times. It's almost like you don't need infinite content and just need a good game.

[@XeonesLinqos]

This game takes me back played the Hobbit game on GameCube as well.

[@belmontofastora3665]

Oh my God my childhood ! I spent a whole summer break playing this as a kid. It had excellent couch co-op too I played the whole thing a few times through with my buds. Ahh thanks for the memories I haven't thought of this in ages

[@jamesb7994]

The return of the king game that came after was even better! You where able to be everyone in the fellowship. Loved that game.

[@MogMonster87]

“Back to the pits that spawned you” still pops in my head even now 20 odd years later

[@trickyykcir]

me and my cousin used to play this game for hours, really need more games like these now

[@deadlydestroya]

I always got stuck on the Helmsdeep ladder level

[@kuicker5825]

wow mee and my brother used to play this all the time. i havent thought about this game in forever!

[@augustmacdonald9615]

had this for the game cube, my mom and i bonded over it for as long as her hands could hold up 💙

[@ricardomora9913]

Man of culture, we need this game and the return of the king one remake or remaster but with good quality to match this gems.

[@seanmarkovich7563]

This game is so good. KZbin is so good at pressing that nostalgia button

[@Moonninja420]

Goated game as a kid. 4 person multiplayer was huge back then.

[@jamestheredd]

Ah thank you for this lovely nostalgic gem. Me and my cousin used to play this all the time.

[@aggroash232]

Love this game. My dad and I played the shit outta it when I was younger.

[@PhoenixRiseinFlame]

This game is one of my favourite games from my childhood. It’s an absolute classic.

[@americangamer1632]

My brother and I loved these, recently got the old ps2 up and running with an hdd to run this and all the old games

[@narfachu]

I got all those nostalgia feels. Simpler times my lad. Thanks

[@rigs9801]

i used to play with my brothers on split screen, this game and the return of the king one were such gold

[@ikdeikke]

THANK YOU, I remember playing this game but I never found it again after i got older but i had such fond memories of it playing with my friend cuz i always played it at their house. and now I see it suddenly all these memories flooding back into my brain. didnt expect that when I clicked on this video.

[@shockers12512]

i played this on the gamecube and omg core memory unlocked

[@BreadListener]

I borrowed this from a friend, got Return of the King, and played that one co-op with said friend.

[@hunterb412]

I LOVED this! Absolute treat to see this

[@idkmybffjill9682]

5:00 you. Said. What! The wall was excellent and helms deep was properly stressful

[@yurp7444]

Everytime a movie/show comes out with a game, I hope it is up to this game's standard. Iconic 🚶🏾‍♂️

[@TheRockofEasyCo]

I remember when my dad bought the ps2, he came home with lord of the rings, medal of honor, and GTA: Vice City. I played those to oblivion and back, and because I was 6 or something, I made no forward progress unless my dad or his friends did. Like, I literally could not play Fangorn forest, it was way to scary for me.

[@ChilliDogDave]

i love classics like this, might i interest you in a very underrated RTS for the OG Xbox? its this wonderful game called Alien vs Predator: Extinction and it is so unknown by the general public its a crime, its an RTS AvP game that lets you play as marines, predators or xenomorphs and all 3 have drastically different gameplay and was only ever available to the OG Xbox, im unsure if you can even emulate it but i have a physical copy and i tell you it was hard as hell to track down and im lucky i got it for £5

[@muttahumppinbeegyoshi9704]

One of the few people that knows of it’s existence🤣🤣 I still have a copy. It was hard as a kid, and it’s still hard as an adult. I swear the Ai cheats

[@ChilliDogDave]

if you played on hard and on the last mission they actually DO! i spotted this when i had decided to pin the last of the predators into a corner as xenomorphs and they were still somehow able to call in more units despite practically no income@@muttahumppinbeegyoshi9704

[@ciaralich]

god i played this so much, i think it was the first game i got for PS2. return of the king probably had more replay value but i put so much time into this.

[@jackstevenson5796]

Will always love the movie to game transitions.

[@MrCheese1338]

That bonus chest at the 48 minute mark, if I remember right you can go up the stairs and break a water barrel at the top of the tower

[@jacob4189]

Never thought I’d see AA play this. This really made my day.

[@TheBlueDragon86]

LOVED this game as a kid. I recall Gimli was my favorite, too. Wish it was backward compatible on my Xbox X…

[@Kmac186]

Oh my gosh this game was the best! I played this game so much. The Return of the King game was also so good! SO many memories! Isildur was ridiculously strong but Gimli had the best combos I thought haha good times.

[@AbeTweakin]

I freaking loved the LOTR games on ps2. Also there was an Alien RTS where Marines and Aliens had to build up a small base and forces and do RTS stuff but i cant remember the name of that.

[@vhgiv]

No replay value? When I was young i was constantly replaying the missions... and the 3rd game is great!

[@superpinoi]

Thank you AA I love this game do it to it!!!

[@LOTSL]

most of gimli's acting was the body double

[@ImadZeryouh]

The CooP system was really good. It was funny if u played gimli u saw your friends and family change to that character. Amazing times.

[@the_matad0r342]

4:20 I remember this game. Still have it, but never beat it. I will say, though, that I always kinda wanna play my PS2. Not sure if you ever played them, or if they were your style, but I also really enjoyed Road Trip Adventure, Megaman X: Command Mission, and 007 Nightfire. Probably 3 games that I can replay a lot that don't have as much replay ability as I think. 😅

[@danielrollins7426]

I played this so many times on my GameCube. I wish I could get it on my pc.

[@danielrollins7426]

Saruman’s bane works really well on those berserkers…..

[@AnodyneRain]

Wait, where was the Warg mission? Wasn't it after the explosive village mission but before helms deep?

[@karlsnod2784]

God I remember this as a kid...

[@gomlog3]

What an epic throw back. An amazing game! The hours I spent

[@ToS42]

The Helm's Deep levels were my favorite and definitely perfectable by everyone. While they are useful for everyone, Gimli is carried by the bane counter attacks more than anyone else because of his ineffective model. The rush attacks were also important for him to get his slow ass into combat. Triangle, triangle, circle, triangle ftw

[@martinescobar3908]

I need this man, that surely knows it, to play Def Jam

[@taranova12]

I forgot about this game until now 😭 I remember it being hard enough that I'd usually just screw around with cheats but that was fun for me so

[@connerschupp4543]

You should play through War in the North if you can. Play as the dwarf!

[@nagashtheundyingking4404]

man haven't played this sense i was a kid and remember struggeling getting thru it tho still loved it now seeing how easy most of it is makes it so funny to me like the watcher. the bar on the helms deep mission is enemies on the wall so to decrease it you have to kill enemies for people who sees this and have problem with the mission.

[@conaghero]

You gotta try the Age of the Ring Mod for Battle For Middle Earth 2. The OG game on steroids.

[@NsABullitzZ]

Never played this one but the 3rd one was pretty similar and played so much co op with my friend

[@MatthewBakke]

This is such a niche and perfect video.

[@ronaldarnyek3659]

Didn't know there was a game before the ps2 lotr return of the king game i loved that one

[@OomPapaMaoMao]

AA, I didnt think I could like you more as a gamer. Gimli was the fucking GOAT in this game!

[@josh1234857]

I need more stuff like this. Perfect sleeping materials

[@maverickstclare3756]

Watched my boy play this when he was 10, he's about your age !

[@CC-me4yx]

The Two Towers/Return of the King, Gauntlet Legends, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, TMNT:IV Turtles in Time, Xmen/Simpsons Arcade, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2 are IMO the ARPG GOAT games of the Couch Co-Op era. It's just too bad Local/Couch Co-Op games are becoming a dying breed in the world of Always Online/Paid Subscription/eSports we live in..

[@deatheven13]

would love to see your take on the two towers game boy advance game you seem to have a kinship with old EA games it played like diablo iirc

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Ahh that's a good memory - great taste, my friend

[@clarence7013]

Omg this reminds me of a lotr game on Xbox that had mutiplayer and different classes and a hero fight game mode like battlefront but I forget what it's called loved that game

[@mrmoviemanic1]

These games need to be remastered.

[@Kyrobinthian]

and they called it a mine...A MINE

[@user-kx8zt5cz1r]

I loved that game as a kid, is it possible to play it on PC?

[@chrisstoh2975]

Nostalgia hanging out of me

[@verloser]

funny how i literally was playing this on my fat ps2 last night and it pops up in my feed lmao. dem devices listening

[@KokoplaysMB]

You should play LotR Online next Ambi, that would be a banger!

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Oof we gotta hop on that sometime :)

[@KokoplaysMB]

@@ambiguousamphibianvods Fellowship of the Ring was on TV last night, so now I'm feeling all kinds of nostalgic :D

[@PrestonGravy42]

I wonder if you’ve ever played any of the battle for middle earth games? These were and still very much are exceptional games to me.

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Yee - good taste :) Probably covering those in a few months

[@PrestonGravy42]

Oh wow that would be amazing, can wait to see it. FYI there is an incredible and very active modding scene for these games. Titles like Age of the ring or Edain mod are trully something. I Highly recommend checking them out.

[@johnnyalfonso6367]

God what i would give to play this game again

[@velarswood]

The best line from gimli was when he was going to get thr oathbreaker king with aragon and legolas and he's blowing away the ghostly wisp smoke lol. Pffft pffft pfftttt t

[@bisketti92]

I'd love to watch you play The Hobbit game. No joke, my grandmom let me borrow her copy for the pc when I was a kid and I loved it so much I bought it for myself when I was older. 😊💕

[@Pedzpaints]

i really wish this game along with ROTK and battles for middle earth wouuld fine their way to GOG

[@danielberger1176]

nostalgia incoming

[@AutumnTeaParty]

Man I miss this game gimili is my lad

[@jlb9577]

Please play brute force, i LOVED that game as a kid

[@reggiesreflex7890]

You should play lord of the rings the 3rd age long game but was the joy of my youth besides the two towers 😁

[@Vaniity_Velvet]

Basically Dynasty Warriors: Middle-Earth

[@cebraulkenne8571]

Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai menu!

[@larryhale2710]

Holy shit I forgot this game existed. I beat it with every character back in the day (even isildur). I loved burning weekends on this gem. Cheers on another trip down memory lane AA.

[@notsosunnyd8669]

LETS GOOOOOO! I have never seen the movies but I remember this game well. On A side note, I am almost ready to try a morally correct Torso play through purely inspired by your question during your torsolo playthrough. Keep up the awesome work your always inspiring people to try new things & see new perspectives!

[@noel7215]

My childhood ❤❤❤

[@mattbaxter688]

Yo... i played this as a kid

[@Kyharra]

Never played this one only had return of the king and that always pissed me off 😂

[@Kanoog]

I wish these were remastered to p;lay on the PS5.

[@lonelypassenger7541]

I loved this game

[@kobked-x]

I'm quite sure the way to say it is "Bay-Lin" not ball-in... as the "i" makes the first vowel hard, as in A not a, ok AA? :)

[@randomname8587]

I GUARANTEE you will beat the first half of this game
