There are built in cheat codes in the game, but you only get these if you complete the Tower of Orthanc with the secret character. Then you can mess around with the levels and get perfects on every level by practicing with the cheats first, that's if your weren't able to get them first time around.

There are also 3 levels of difficulty to play on. Expert was hard but much more fun, and getting perfects on expert MUCH more difficult.

I've completed the game several times now, with and without cheats and at different levels of difficulty, (the cheats at the end of the game are after all a reward for having completed the game and include some amusing differences, like small-enemies). I too bought the ps2 just for the game when I saw it played at my nephew's house (I bought it for him at christmas and was amazed at the graphics etc).

A search on google will bring up (other)cheats, FAQs and walkthroughs for anyone having difficulties.
