J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers is a PC game by Interplay Productions.
Production
The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers followed the first part, The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I (1990 computer game), and chronicles the events of the second tome. A third game was originally also planned, covering The Return of the King, but it never came to be.
The game was designed by Scott Bennie, who chose to retain most of the story and also mixed in elements from Tolkien's other works.
Gameplay
The gameplay was copied from the first game, but made considerably easier. Unlike its predecessor, there is no fixed character: several characters are playable, each with a selection of weapons.
The game also featured an automapping system, and the scale was reduced to improve player orientation.
