Resumo

The PlayStation 2 of the game is different from the Wii and PS3 version in several ways. For example, they lack a co-op mode or the free-roam Shire over-world. However, it includes an arena mode not featured in the Wii and PS3 versions, and levels set in Caradhras, at the Gates of Erebor (including a battle with the Watcher in the Water), and in Dunharrow, areas not found in the Wii/PS3 versions. This version is played from an isometric three-quarter top-down view, and is more of an action role-playing game, featuring stat-management and experience points to spend on special abilities. The Wii/PS3 version does not feature any kind of stat-management or experience points, save for the above mentioned ability to collect items to improve the attack and defense of characters.
