Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest for PlayStation 2

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest - PlayStation 2

It is now the Fourth Age of Middle-earth; a time of peace. Yet though the great battles and deeds that eventually lead to the destruction of the Ring of Power are a distant memory for most, they are not forgotten. Preparations are underway in Hobbiton for a great party to welcome the legendary Aragorn, now king of the united lands of Arnor and Gondor, and to honor Samwise Gamgee for his service during the War of the Ring. With Aragorn's visit to the Shire imminent, Sam's children are eager to learn more about this great man and so Sam, now Mayor of Hobbiton, embarks on a tale of the revered warrior, Aragorn, and the valiant deeds that transformed a Ranger of the North, into the last great king of men in Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn's Quest is an action-adventure game designed to allow you to relive the great battles and events featured in J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Action is designed to be accessible and family-friendly, and is related and relived through the filter of storytelling sessions by the hobbit Samwise Gamgee to his children, with the deeds of Aragorn taking center stage. You assume the role of Aragorn, supported by AI versions of familiar characters from the Fellowship and the wider world of the free peoples of Middle-earth. Aragorn can engage in using his main weapon the sword, Andúril, but he can also wield other weapons and collect other items including torches, shields, as well as spears and a bow. These can be purchased using gold found throughout the game or as a reward for completing missions. Additional features and functionality include special skills, the ability to upgrade weapons, armor and attacks, and Bonus Area Mode, which allow you to test your skill in limited combat for items that can be used in the game's main campaign.
