    I know that this isn't an official sequel to LEGO Lord of the Rings but I think it is fair to treat this game as such. And when compared to LEGO LOTR, LEGO Hobbit feels just a little worse.

    Few new mechanics were added. Super simple puzzles for building object seems like a good addition. While quick-time events may be nothing new in gaming and are not considered a great thing, these few scenes (especially dancing dwarves in Bilbo's house) using QTE are super fun. Characters also now have little circles underneath to indicate which player is controlling which character. Apart from that - nothing has changed. We still have this open world filled with fetch quests and collectibles that are so fun to explore. Little breadcrumbs bricks are leading us from one story level to another and it is a great thing to re-visit these lands of bricked Middle-earth once again.
    One thing that I hate is a decision to make the game out of just two films from the trilogy. They could have waited that one year or release it as a DLC. -1 to the total score for that.
    Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing this game. Finishing it 100% feels just great and rewarding. There is something pleasing and relaxing to play it with my wife after a hard day at work.    … Expand

    Lego games going downhill.....
    Ever since the Lego games had actual dialog, the comedy took an enormous hit. Now you need to stick to what the movie did, and try to deliver the same moments the movie tried because the dialog has already been written and delivered, so you can't go for another approach, only with tiny little small jokes between actual movie moments, most of them don't work.

    The gameplay is what all the others game have done before, but now you have a crafting system that could be fun, but worn out their welcome. At least the riddles are fun to play, as they should.
    THE STORY IS UNFINISHED, WB THOUGHT TO DELIVER A DLC WITH THE LAST MOVIE LATER AND CANCELLED IT AFTER THE TRILOGY WAS NOT THAT WELL RECEIVED.
    The end game is a MILLION chores throughout Middle Earth and most of them are boring and the ones that aren't are stopped for grinding materials.    … Expand

    Very good concept, fun to make it to 100%. It is sad, however, that the story in the game is incomplete.

    Lego game with most boring and repeatable levels for sure. One thing that saves the rest is fun extra content and nice character roster. Anything else about this game is just average or bad.

    So wirklich gar nicht mehr Humor.
    Spielerisch fand ich das Spiel eigentlich zu keinem Zeitpunkt spaßig und oftmals einfach nur anstrengend. Zudem endet das Spiel nach 2/3 der Filmreihe. Ich finde die auch alle einfach iwie dumm.
    Trotzdem besser als Clone Wars ^^

    A really great Lego game, surprisingly fresh for a company famous for releasing the same product over and over again. [06/2014, p.56]

    LEGO The Hobbit has plenty of charm and plenty of content, but it's hard not to feel like the series is lacking some of the verve that it once had.

    At this point, criticising a Lego game for being much like the other Lego games feels somewhat pointless. It's tempting, especially after so many, but it's a series that's long been more comfortable changing the wallpaper than rebuilding the entire house, and that's not likely to change any time soon.
