The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest
The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest for the PS3 and Wii tells the story of Aragorn during the War of the Ring. Samwise Gamdschie is the narrator and remembers the story to entertain his children who want to hear about Aragorn's adventures. The game differs in many ways from the PS2 and handheld versions. The biggest difference is the perspective from behind, as opposed to the bird's eye view of the PS2 version, and the gameplay in the Shire between the main sections of the story.
Story
The war for Middle-earth may have ended in The Lord of the Rings, but the scars left by the dark lord Sauron run deep. The epic tale of swords, sorcery, kings and kinship is famous, and although the adventure is over, it's not time to turn the page just yet... The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest is set 15 years after the events of the original story and transports you to the peaceful Shire of the hobbits. Samwise Gamdschie, the loyal friend of the main character Frodo Baggins, is now mayor of the Shire. During a break as he prepares for King Aragorn's visit, Sam recounts the eventful journey through Middle-earth to his children, focusing on how Aragorn became king. Sam takes you through some of the most memorable scenes of the adventure and lets you take on the role of Aragorn as he tries to stop Sauron. From the escape to the ford (where you must protect Frodo from the Black Riders and other agents of the Dark Lord) to the deadly mines of Moria (where the fearsome Balrog lurks), you embark on a great expedition seen through the eyes of a simple hobbit. Think you know the epic and hugely popular The Lord of the Rings saga? Turns out you only know part of the whole story. Why not grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage, sit down with one of the brave people who lived it, and experience the adventure for yourself...
