Shadow the Hedgehog is the lowest score for me

Had no idea the thirs age was turn based. Makes me wonder what could have been if it was released later on or if they could do a follow up since they seem to be done with the shadow of mordor and gollum. Might be a decent place to revisit for lotr games.

The movie games need a compilation release. It would be great to be able to play all three on modern systems.

Dungeon Crawlers like Digimon World 4 was fireee

Always loved "The Third Age" despite the "meh" final bits. Great work!

I remember seeing movie transition scene and two towers back when it first came out. I thought games couldn't get any better 😂

I played The Two Towers on my gamecube as a teenager but by the time Return of the King came out I had an Xbox and got it on that. Loved both games. Great hack and slash games and really great movie tie ins. Wish we still got awesome LOTR games these days instead of stuff like Gollum. I would like to play the Hobbit since that story is special to me. As a little kid I watched my dads VHS of The 70's Hobbit Cartoon before I even knew what LOTR was.

Nice! There were a few games I never heard of! Glad I learned something from watching. Awesome video! 👍😁🐺

Nintendo fans: SEGA SUXXX!!😜 Also Nintendo fans: F-ZERO GX is da GOAT!! 😎

I have some great memories playing Two Towers and Return of the King with my life long buddy Jacob! I've always wanted to play the Hobbit, looks cool and I'm glad to see your thoughts on it! Thanks for the upload!! Side note: I have since played smugglers run which you'd highlighted recently and it's so much fun! Really loving it so far! Surprised at how well it handles! I don't play a ton of racing/ driving games but have been interested lately and this is one I will for sure be putting more time into! Keep it up with the videos! Love them!

I just got LotR Third Age, it really looks quite unique and awesome. Arguably one of the best things made in the whole LotR Universe. And lol, first I heard of the second season of RoP was an ad before this video.

Excellent video! I have Return of the King and while the gameplay can be a bit tricky to get adjusted to, the presentation is quite strong. Also, here's a fun fact: Charles Martinet, the former voice of Mario, provided voice work for EA's Lord of the Rings games, notably voicing Eaoden in The Third Age.

best gamecube channel ever

I had Two Towers back in the day, I always loved that game! I always felt like the characters you chose were almost like choosing a difficulty; Legolas is easy, Aragorn is medium, and Gimli being hard. I could be wrong, that was just my impression though. As a Gimli fan I always felt like I got the short end of the stick compared to my friends... pun intended lol

It is rare to see a series or IP that has had many a handful of titles during the 6th generation, and to have some good to great qualities in each individual title. I have never experienced any of these but they sure look fun and entertaining, especially the Hobbit. Might not be the most ideal but a Friday night with pizza and brews sounds like it'll be a good time. Great work again man!

This is a cool List of the Lord of the Rings Game. I got a sad story and I don't know if is a game breaking glitch, but somehow if I changed my disc on the 2nd one of the The Third Age on my Gamecube, 2nd Disc didn't do the change and it was in the end of disc 1. I thought this version is maybe broken, so afterward I bought another copy of the game and I still don't know if is the version I bought or the modchip of my GC did the issue or the Disc Lens, which I don't think this is the issue, cos it would read the other gamecube games also terribly. Good Video Mister :D

I really do want to play these games at some point I do have all of them on a Nintendont emulator that I have for the wii And I have done them as roms These are considered fantastic games on the game cube And these are must play for tolken fans And for fans of the books and The amazing peter jackson movies 😅😊😂.

I do have a question.Would you say the hobbit Video game Is very accurate to the Hobbit book.

What is the main reason you call rings of power Abysmal And are you looking forward to season two or do you think it's going to be even worse than the first season.

Always enjoyed the hack n slash/beat em up and rpg LOTR games another great video Mr GameCube

You just simply… never save enough times 😅

LOTR was such a cool franchise when we were growing up. I loved the movies and they are still fun to watch. Haven't played any of the games besides Middle Earth II on the 360 so I'm excited to see how these look. I have the LOTR The Fellowship of the Rings that you mention on the Xbox, and I'm surprised it never came to the GameCube but that's really cool that there's portions of both films in The Two Towers to make up for it. The gameplay looks great. The Hobbit is one I'd like to play through soon. It looks fun and whimsical like you said. That's super cool that the Third Age is a brand new story. Great topic, thankful I own all of these already! Just need to play them.

Great video! I am a fan of the LOTR games and I really enjoyed The Hobbit, which gave Zelda-esque vibes. The one game in this haven’t played is The Third Age and now I need to. Thanks for your overviews.

You know it’s a valid opinion when the GameCube guy himself calls something abysmal lol now I know not to watch rings of power

Some years ago, a local retro seller offered me The Third Age for GameCube, CIB, at a ridiculously low price. I think I paid less than 10 bucks for it. Now it sells for roughly 3x its original price (I don't know about the PS2/Xbox prices, though). Oh, and kudos to you for calling Rings Of Power for what it really is: abysmal.

I used to play the hell out of Two Towers at my buddies house. As someone that isn’t a big fan of the series, I had a blast playing that

Nice Work.

I'll have to get Two towers sooner than later, It was my favorite film of the trilogy. I wish the GC got the crime movie games like Scarface, Godfather and even Sopranos like the PS2 Xbox, and Wii did instead of neglecting the GC. Great video as always!

Good memories of renting The Two Towers loved that game.

Excellent video; nice info without being too much which makes it interesting to want to look into each game for the uninitiated. I seem to remember (from an issue of EGM) the movie based games had direct influence by Peter Jackson and his production company (much like his Gamecube King Kong game) which would explain the higher-end product.

I’ve been curious about these games! I have them all on the Xbox but yet to play them, this was a great vid to see some play through and hear your thoughts! Nice work my friend! ❤️🎮

Gamecube and LOTR?! Two of my favorite things in one video!

That drastic difference in tone and art style from Return of the King to The Hobbit was like going from Call of Duty to Zelda Wind Waker. Great video. I'm glad the Lord of the Rings GameCube titles are finally getting their recognition. They were wonderful titles to play back then and very addicting because of the action, leveling up, and cinematic quality.

Ea did a chef kiss job with all these tie in movie games on that generation if consoles. I dont know how they only kept star wars. The third age looks very inspired by FFX, idk it reminds me a lot to that combat system. ¡Nice video man! Hope you make a harry potter one.😂

I loved The Hobbit one, but it needed a feature to revisit earlier levels. It's pointless to keep the save file, and it takes up a lot of space too!

Big LOTR fan here, just started my GC collection and will definitely try to add these. Off topic but maybe do a video on the football games like NFL Blitz and etc.

I have two towers and return of the king. Both very fun hack n slash games. Thought about getting the third age but not really a fan of turn based combat

The question is: have you beaten the baten kaitos games

Third age was a solid game!

I played The Hobbit, The Two Towers and The Third Age extensively as a kid. They were all excellent games and the game for The Hobbit actually gave me some strong expectations for how the Hobbit movies would end up as. Needless to say I was disappointed but not nearly as much as I was with The Rings of Power!

I've only played the movie games, not Hobbit or Third Age. Return of the King co-op was a blast, especially on Viddy Plays, though one or two of the levels did kinda get too hard.

The LOTR Two Towers game's engine was later used for Forgotten Realms Demon Stone (which never got a GameCube Port), by the same developer.

I am playing through the third age at the moment just got through mines of Moria. Loving it so far

I had Return of the King. It was sooo much fun playing with friends. As a young teen at the time, it made the movies that more special

I always really enjoyed The Hobbit game

The Movie tie in games are amazingly cinematic I played two towers a few months ago after watching the rerelease in theaters of all 3 movies

I have a mobile arcade and have a GameCube on board. I need this

Hey 'GameCube Galaxy', you wouldn't happen to remember an underrated American 3rd party distributer/localizer "Working Designs" would you? Here's a fun fact I'd like to share with you on that. The GameCube would've been 'Working Design's first Nintendo console they would've supported; bringing over exclusive Japanese games to. Just like how they did with the Turbographix-16, Sega CD, Saturn, Playstaion, and Playstation 2. The games Working Designs had in mind to localize here in the west were 'Star Soldier', 'Bonk Adventure', 'Adventure Island', 'Doshin the Giant', 'Warrior Blade', 'Dragon Drive, and some others too. But they sadly went bankrupt before they could consider such a task!

Gotta disagree with you. Fight for NY and Underground 2 were the superior versions of those games. Outside of that, great list for anyone who is just getting into GameCube now

I love this game
