Aragorn uses a long sword, Andúril, and a bow. Frodo can also pick up stones and shoot them in a ranged attack, as well as utilising the Ring to give him invisibility. Frodo uses 3 melee weapons at different stages in the game: a walking stick at the start of the game, a dagger (from the Barrow Downs) and a short sword, Sting which is given to him by Bilbo. Each with their own weapons (which vary throughout the game). The three playable characters in the game are Aragorn, Gandalf and Frodo Baggins. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers also contained some levels set in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Thus the games are not in the same series as The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King by Electronic Arts, which are based upon the two films of the same names from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.


The video game includes sections of the novel that were not included in the movie, such as Frodo Baggins' encounter with Tom Bombadil. The games are adaptations of the novel rather than the 2001 film of the same name.
