About this product

Product Information

This budget-friendly bundle from the industry's largest publisher contains four previously released PC hits: Black & White Deluxe, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and Freedom Fighters. Black & White Deluxe includes both the original Black & White (2001) and its only official expansion pack, Black & White: Creature Isle (2002). The player becomes an ethereal overseeing presence, a true god in the game world of Eden, who looks after the tribes of various villages. Each god in Eden chooses a familiar: a creature that begins as a fairly normal animal but can grow into a giant, powerful beast. Players can teach their great beasts to punish unworthy followers, help the tribe with magical gifts of food or wood, and defend the land against rival gods and their equally dangerous familiars. A refined PC sequel to the successful 1999 and 2000 PlayStation releases, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (2002) puts the player in the role of an elite World War II soldier as he battles Nazi Germany through a fictional campaign of historically accurate missions. The game strives for realism in its environments, which are brought to life by a modified version of the Quake III engine. Players are challenged through over 20 levels of tactical advancement and chaotic battle, progressing from the beaches of Normandy, through war-torn France, and deep into enemy territory. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) is a combat game based directly on the third LOTR film by Peter Jackson. Players fight legions of orcs and other creatures from a third-person perspective, in the role of Aragorn, Gimli, or Legolas. Featured locales include Minas Tirith, Mount Doom, and more, with each environment offering multiple tiers or planes to travel across. Now characters will be able to jump and climb, enabling them to interact with their surroundings to a greater degree. Freedom Fighters (2003) offers a blend of strategy and action as players fight to reclaim New York City from Soviet invaders. Cast in the role of a New Yorker whose brother was kidnapped by the Red Army, players must solicit and then lead a group of ragtag freedom fighters to accomplish various objectives. Battles take place within evolving environments marked by rain, snow, billowing smoke, and explosions. Up to eight players can freedom-fight it out over the Internet or a LAN.
