The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (PlayStation 2, 2004)

So good, I'm already waiting for a sequel! This was all in all a great RPG, but what made it great for me was that it was a TWO player co-op RPG where you are literally fighting together. I've played baldur's gate and games like that where you follow each other around fighting, but this is more FF style in that when you get into a random fight, it your characters against the enemy (less action type, more RPG type). I played this with a friend and we each took half the characters and half the control.

As far as the details of the game, its very good. The story is solid, the fighting is great - hard enemies and lots of them, fun accessorizing, and the characters (even though aragon fights with you rarely) - they aren't no aragon or gandalf - they're still quite good. I was quite impressed as far as this game goes and would highly recommend it for ANY RPG'er out there!
