As a matter of fact I have a question. I've just started playing in single mode. I haven't played TTT and FOTR before this, so I know nada about this kind of games. But even I can see that something is wrong when in Paths of the Dead and Road to Isengard I'm controlling Sam! I should be controlling Aragorn in PotD and Gandalf in RtI, am I right? Is there a problem with my game then? Will it ever change?? It's really difficult to get past the Road to Isengard when you're a hobbit

That IS a big error! Contact the company, I suggest, or the retail you bought it from.

What platform is it?

Platform? I have no idea.

But the game isn't mine. I borrowed it from someone who already played it and I suspect he messed it up.

Has anyone ever got past Paths of the Dead with Sam? I need some tips for the time when I'm supposed to kill 35 spirits on that bridge.

By platform he means what machine you're playing it on. Like PS2 or X-Box or whatever. If you borrowed the game it's not weird that you can play those levels. with Sam. When you clear the game, you can play any level with any character. It's a bonus feature. To get past the bridge, just run around mashing the speed attack button. It is also a good idea to memorize some of the combos. They are really useful.

You can easily defeat the level with Sam. I've done it loads. Here's a question, is it a brand new game, or did you buy or rent it from someone else?

I found it very hard on 2 player mode. I guess they make it harder because there is two of you,so you have more of an advantage. The problem(for us)was that Gollum never came to the edge! We would be there,trying to lure(sp?) him to us,but he just stood there and growled. And when he DID come to us,it was hard to see when he was going to try to push you off. That is when you can catch him off gaurd and push HIM off.
Speaking of game Gollum....Am I the only one who was freaked out by him?

*blush* I was totally freaked out by how he looked.And his voice....Scary....Scarier than the movie Gollum.

My hated part is killing Shelob. Does anyone else think she is monstrously hard??? Actually, she isn't too bad until she starts spazzing at the end. Sheesh, who knew spiders could go berserker?

She may be tough, but can she save her game???
