The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (also known as ROTK) is a third-person hack and slash game released for the Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox and PC. A hack and slash RPG version was developed for the Game Boy Advance. Released in late 2003 to coincide with the release of the film of the same name upon which it was based, the game was published by EA Games and developed by EA Redwood Shores.The game is very similar to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, released a year earlier and also developed by EA Redwood Shores. The Return of the King improves upon it by adding multiple storylines, more playable characters and increased interaction with environments. A two-player co-op mode is available for some missions. The game was developed in close collaboration with New Line Cinema, using many of the actual reference photos, drawings, models, props and other assets used in the film.
The Return of the King was met with positive critical reception. The game's graphics, audio and gameplay were praised, although the camera control was criticised. The game won in two categories at the 2004 DICE awards.
