The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

Unlike the Game Boy Advance version of the game , the console version of The Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies.

The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf).

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
