The game is based on the second volume of Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy The Lord of the Rings and offers players the opportunity to experience the story through the eyes of three heroes - Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli.

From the very beginning, it is clear that the developers have tried to bring the atmosphere and setting of Tolkien's book into the game world as faithfully as possible.

This gives players the opportunity to explore various locations from Middle-earth, such as Rohan, Fangorn Forest or Minas Morgul.

The gameplay of this game focuses on various action scenes such as fighting other characters, solving puzzles or exploring the environment. Each of the heroes has their own abilities and traits, which adds to the variety and strategic approach to gameplay. There are many elements inspired from the books themselves, such as abilities with magic maces or fighting wizards.

The main objective of the game is to eliminate all friendly racists from the magical prison in order to free the city of Minas Tirith, from the escalating threat of Mordor. The story is built on dialogue sequences and interludes, which helps players delve deeper into the story and better take on the roles of the heroes.

The game is accompanied by epic music that beautifully enhances the atmosphere and poignancy of the story. The sounds and effects are also well done and contribute to the overall gaming experience.

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers is a great adaptation of the second volume of The Lord of the Rings for the DOS gaming world.
