What can be more fun than playing as one Gondorian prince? Why two, of course.

A title that sees you take control of these brothers in arms would have plenty of unique selling points to it. The sons of the misguided Denethor were one of the most compelling dynamics in the original tale, as the clear biased given towards Boromir had a dramatic effect on both of them.

This could be explored in video game form, as allowing the player to switch between the characters intermittently could alter the gameplay drastically. NPC's might treat Boromir one way and Faramir another, meaning that each brother has unique challenges and skills.

Plus, getting the chance to roam the great city of Minas Tirith in a less linear manner than other titles we've played before would be an incredible treat, as the iconic setting has so much detail and spirit to offer, which players have barely scratched the surface of.

They're skilled warriors with an emotional story, and playing through their upbringing and eventual roles in the War of the Ring would be worthwhile.
