10 Worst Unskippable Gaming Cutscenes You’ll See Hundreds Of Times

The Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers came out during a time when just about every major motion picture had to be accompanied by a cash-in video game for the sixth generation of home consoles. Two Towers actually bucks the trend of many of these tie-in games by firstly including voice actors from the film reprising their character, and also actually being pretty fun to play.

However, those who picked the game up hoping to be able to jump right into the action would have been sorely disappointed, as the game greets you with a nearly 10-minute unskippable cutscene mixed with a tutorial included for your troubles.

The problem was, even if you had previously completed the game and were already quite aware of the plot and controls, there was no option to bypass the opening sequence, seriously detracting from an otherise aesome game.
