    This is a great game, for children and adults alike. While the mandatory children LEGO jokes (which are really funny) are present, there are a few references little ones won't understand.

The variety of characters and gameplay present here is overwhelming, and the replay value is undisputed. The only reason I haven't given it a 10 is the fact that the keyboard controls are simply horrible (I think it's virtually impossible to play this game with it's lack of mouse input). Thank God it has Gamepad support! Amazing job as always, Traveler's Tale! Expand

Overall enjoyable, but I would have liked to have seen the open environment used more, it really does look good and they put some nice touches in there, and a wider array of quests. But the actual gameplay was linear and dull for lots of it. Recommended still to play, but it's entertainment value goes up and down too much. Expand

    Another great Lego game by TT. If you love Lord of the Rings you will absolutely love this title. Only downside would be no online co-op, but that's to be expected from a Lego game. You can only hope that it'll be patched in the future.

    An amazingly witty, light hearted game for any fan of Lord of the Rings ( Movie adaptation). 1. Let me start out by saying that instead of buying Black Ops 2, my money went straight to Lego Lord of the Rings... and quiet honestly...

Let me start out by saying that instead of buying Black Ops 2, my money went straight to Lego Lord of the Rings... and quiet honestly... It is one of the best games I have ever had the pleasure to play. It starts right out the gate with action introducing the Great War those many years ago against Sauron. The game is split up into movie action sequences where you have the voice overs from all 3( Yes ALL 3!) movies that unfolds like an interactive book. It then recreates a section from the movie, and allows the player to interact in that environment. On a side note, Its quiet witty watching lego characters talk, but if you played Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, then you know it works EXTREMELY Well! 2. Gameplay is what defines this game as one of the most expansive of the Lego Games. Not only do you have practically EVERY character from the LOTR Trilogy, but they also have more than 1 unique ability, allowing you to combine different actions/ scenarios. There is a select wheel where you can easily switch to characters if you have trouble decoding who they are, as well as what their abilities might be. 3. The scale of this game is epic.... Just.... epic, hundreds of enemies can occupy the screen at once, and in 1080p with graphics maxed out on the PC... it is gorgeous... 4. Last... well to wrap this little review up all I have to say is that you will not be disappointed... Its very rare that you come across light hearted gems like this. Im aware that the major "critics" (yeah IGN and Gamespot im looking at yall backstabbers) will not give this game anything above a 8/ 8.5 but, dont let that teeter you from at least renting this one. You will have over 50 hours of fun on your hands... Yeah.. Im going to get back to playing now :P Expand

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of lord of the rings and on top of that the lego games series. This is the first one I've played on PC, and really it's not a good experience.

This is the first one I've played on PC, and really it's not a good experience. The game is fine, probably really good, but I find this so hard to play, the controls for this are just ridiculous, H to attack and J to jump by default, you can reassign these, except on PC this has NO MOUSE SUPPORT. None... I understand that this is a port but put some effort into it, many people bought this expecting a game they don't need a controller for, and you really do need one.

    If you're on a laptop or have a small keyboard you essentially have to have a controller, if that doesn't bother you then you should totally get this. This isn't the kind of game that can get away with using only the keyboard, it's just something that should have mouse support, even if the only use would be just to attack with M1 and to change characters with mouse wheel, it would make it so much more comfortable and easier to play and control.

    I may just be whining but the score is based off of the fact that I just can't play this game, I'm on a laptop, a small one, so playing using only keyboard is really not an option, and when it comes down to it, you can't legitimately say it's reasonable for the developers of this game to expect that they shouldn't have to put in the effort to add mouse support and on top of that you can't say that they can expect most PC gamers to have controllers, when the general assumption would be that PC gamers use K+M.

    The Lego series is known for it's amazing renditions of many different famous movie franchises, and I have to say, LEGO Lord of the Rings has to be the best so far. With it's absolutely beautiful world, and the old school action we've come to love from the Lego series, just makes this game a must for any Lego fan, Lord of the Rings fan, or anyone wanting to have a great time.

Voice work from the actual actors. Music/ambience from the movies.

The game starts off great, but as you play you begin to notice how man bugs are present and when you get to the end of the game (near 100% complete) it becomes very frustrating. The story follows the movies and the level design and graphics are on par with them. The voice acting is taken straight out of the movies so you will easily recognize the lines that are spoken. The levels are all well designed and there are plenty of secrets and collectibles to keep you playing after you finished the story. It took me about 32 hours to get 100% game complete, but it wasn't without problems. Three times i ran into level breaking bugs where my character was stuck in an infinite loop of death and i had to restart (the game spawns you in exactly the same place you died). And when i was searching for all the collectible i ran into a game breaking bug where the game refused to count the correct number of treasures i found. The developers, instead of actually making a fix for this bug (which from what i can tell is a very common bug), they made cheat codes that you can put in to give you 100% game complete. I kid you not, if you email the devs about the problem, they will send you cheat codes so you can get 100%. Seriously? If you get this, prepare to love the gameplay and then be absolutely frustrated by the rampant amount of bugs. I have a bug where my screen completely freezes for a second or two ever other minute. With all these bugs and glitches I have encountered, it is impossible for me to give this a positive score. Only very casual games and LotR fans should buy this, and if you do, get it on sale. Expand

    I've given an earlier review about this game **** about the keyboard controls and no option to add a regular gamepad instead. In the mean time I have bought an XBOX controller and this one is 100% compatible with the game AND it is a MUST TO PLAY LEGO Lord of the Rings. If you don't owe one, then don't get the game, or get a XBOX controller - I'd recommend the latter :D

    Lego Lord of the Rings. This is a game that combines two things that I love. It combines Legos, an uber popular toy that people both build and play with all the time, and Lord of the Rings, my favorite movie franchise of all time. As you can probably guess, I was really excited to play this game. So, is this game the one game to rule them all, or did Frodo put the ring on one too manyLego Lord of the Rings. This is a game that combines two things that I love. It combines Legos, an uber popular toy that people both build and play with all the time, and Lord of the Rings, my favorite movie franchise of all time. As you can probably guess, I was really excited to play this game. So, is this game the one game to rule them all, or did Frodo put the ring on one too many times? Let's find out. The gameplay of this game is much like any other Lego licensed video game. The game is an action adventure game that follows the events of the three Lord of the Rings movies. Every action packed scene from the movies is there for you to play, from the prologue of the Fellowship of the Ring, to where Frodo Baggins casts the ring into the fire towards the end of Return of the King. The levels are filled with both combat against enemies such as Orcs and Goblins, and simple puzzle solving that will require certain characters to accomplish. You can play as any Lord of the Rings character you want in this game. You can play is one of the heroes such as Frodo or Gandalf, one of the villains such as Sauron or Sarumon, or even one of those characters that only plays a tiny role in the films such as a Minas Tirith guard that got killed early on in the battle during Return of the King. You can even create your own character if you want to. Of course you can only do this after completing the game's main story, but considering that it's Lord of the Rings, quite possibly the greatest story ever told, it's well worth the wait. Of course this game has main missions which closely follow the events of the films, but outside of that, you also have the huge open world of Middle Earth to explore. Everything in Middle Earth is here for you to explore, from the hobbit houses of the Shire, to the walls of Helm's Deep, to the fiery mountains of Mordor. While the levels from the movies are all insanely fun, the open world does seem just a tiny bit less polished than the rest of the game. There is a lot to do in the open world, but almost all of the quests you need to undertake to beat the game 100% are very confusing. The characters keep telling you to find items for them, and you go to a location to look for them, but they seem very hard to find. Some are easy, but most others are very difficult. This can become very aggravating. Also, it is unfortunate that there aren't very many enemies in this open world. It would be a lot more fun if you could fight Orcs on the way to the next parts of the films, or as part of the quests, be able to fight Orcs with allies instead of just fetching things for them. Also, all of the things that some might consider problems with these Lego games are here such as redundant and simplistic gameplay. However, I never really cared much for how simplistic the gameplay is, after all, it is still plenty fun despite this. Therefore, I see nothing wrong with the gameplay in that respect. Overall, the gameplay of this game is fantastic if you are a fan of both Lego and Lord of the Rings. As for the graphics, while they look about as blocky as any other Lego game, they are still great in this respect. While it may be tiresome for some to see the graphics like this again, (it is like any other Lego game after all) it is still good for a Lego game, and considering that that's what they were going for, that's all that really matters. The graphics of this game really are quite good overall, some just might be tired of seeing more Lego-y textures. Still though, this is a Lego game. It's supposed to look like this. As for the story, there's not much more that needs to be said other than it's Lord of the Rings! The greatest trilogy ever told! It retells the story of Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King! It is also very closely linked to the Peter Jackson film trilogy. Under normal circumstances, I would take points off for this because it is kind of a movie tie-in. However, I won't because although this game is based on a movie franchise, it came out several years after the films, so it isn't really a tie-in. Overall, this game is a fantastic retelling of the Lord of the Rings series, especially if you have children who are too young to see the films (they are PG-13 after all). Overall, this game is fantastic. If you play video games and love Lord of the Rings, you need to buy this game! I recommend this to Lord of the Rings fans, gaming families, or pretty much anyone who just wants to play a good adventure game.

    A lot of us likes the open world game. Gathering collectibles, doing side quests and exploring the world. But for me, this was for most of the time a very lone experience. Of course, my wife was sitting somewhere nearby while I was playing, but LEGO LoTR lets you play an open world game in co-op mode. We had a ton of fun completing this title.
    Another reason is that this game is just fun to play. I enjoy playing hard games but from time to time, you just want to have pure, relaxing fun in a digital world. With minimal difficulty.
    And the last reason - I am a Lord of the Rings fan. So seeing the LEGO figures doing silly stuff while saying real quotes from the movies was just hilarious.
    One thing to mention with all the games, that with more and more characters "powers" it becomes a game of choosing the right character for the right spot. There could more mechanics to it than that. I always see that as a wasted opportunity for adding new mechanics.
    If you have someone to play with - It is a fun way to spend some time. Or buy it for your kid and share with him your love for the franchise.

    - Camera issues. Sometimes the camera is just in the wrong position. And it takes a bit of effort to move it on the keyboard.
    - Related to the first one. If the camera is in the wrong spot, then you have a chance to fall or even die, losing precious coins.
    - The items on the world map are quite... Let's say - easy to find, smash, but without them the world seems 'empty'. I can't explain better.
    - Some freezes and minor glitches.

    In general, it was the first LEGO game I have finished. And I enjoyed it. This game will save tons of money for LEGO constructor fans like me since I don't need to buy the items IRL anymore lol.

    The best adaptation of the franchise. despite beign full of Lego humor it´s still more loyal to the three movies than the games of the Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King. the open world aspect of the game fits Middle Earth and helps the immersion. The level design its creative and they adapt almost everything in the movies. locations like Rivendell, Osgiliath,The best adaptation of the franchise. despite beign full of Lego humor it´s still more loyal to the three movies than the games of the Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King. the open world aspect of the game fits Middle Earth and helps the immersion.

Almost every event in the tree movies is also in the game. every character that you can imagine of the movies it´s unlockable. They dare themselves to do everything that the other games where afraid to do like giving us a boss fight with the Balrog of Moria. They went so far adapting the movies that they even expanded it making the fight while you are falling. just an amazing and epic game. Expand

    Loved this Lego game. The story is great and I love the character and humor. Follows the movies which is great. I wish the Lego hobbit game was as good as this one. Being able to play as Saruman and Sauron is really fun. The replayability is great and the character roster is epic.

    Fortunately TT Games are not content to rest on their laurels as they've managed to pack in an exciting, thrilling and funny adventure with lots to explore and hours of gameplay to make the whole package feel not only fresh but epic to boot.

    The best, the most interesting and the most elaborate entry to the series. Engine's limitations are more visible than ever before but it doesn't change the fact that Traveller's Tales once again managed to deliver an enjoyable game chock-full of content. [CD-Action 1/2013, p.44]
