10 Best Visceral Video Games - Ranked

5. The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King

Where the childhood memory-making Two Towers was developed by Stormfront Studios, The Return of the King had every bit of that special Visceral magic.

Getting the entire silver screen cast involved, production budgets were even higher, aiming to replicate the look and feel of this story finale scene for scene, with more playable characters rounding out the roster. Everyone from Gandalf to Merry and Pippin were up for grabs, as the array of abilities open to each character was further fleshed out.

Environments could be interacted with to loose bolts on advancing Orc armies as you partook in everything from the siege of Minas Tirith to fighting Gollum to save the world of men.

Where The Third Age embodied the more contemplative, strategic aspects of LOTR's battles, Return of the King was EA putting all their cash into creating one of the best playable blockbusters in history.
