With the two titles already standing the test of time fairly well, it wouldn't take much effort for EA to remaster The Two Towers and The Return of the King, with a simple up-res to HD. It's about time that EA remastered its Lord of the Rings games. Due to its faithfulness to the source material, and its high level of accessibility, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King quickly became a childhood classic for many, and it's still fondly discussed today. This is only reinforced by the game's impressive visuals and sound design, with environments and character models looking as realistic as possible for 2003. With much more ambitious level design, Return of the King manages to capture the scale and essence of its movie counterpart extremely well. Return of the King also had one big advantage over its predecessor in that it allowed for 2-player co-op. Instead developed by EA Redwood Shores, which went on to become Visceral Games, Return of the King is widely considered to be the better game of the two, with far more characters to choose from, a longer campaign duration, more replayability, and a more complex progression system. In 2003, EA released a direct follow-up in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
