    This game isnt good. But its not as bad as some people make it out to be. I've played this on both the PS3 and the Vita. The PS3 version blows this out of the water -you can tell the development team made this one as an afterthought. The graphics and sound quality are sub-par. There are a ton of features missing.

That being said - I played this while traveling for work and still did enjoy my time with it. I can admit it was a bad game - but it was fun. Something I'll go back to in order to get the platinum trophy.… Expand

    I would say if you are looking for a LEGO game on the go then you should probably just keep waiting until they decide to put forth a real effort. If you still want to check this game out then I can only warn you by saying it's only slightly better than their last attempt and can only hold up because of the source material.

    Amusing and inoffensive, it's a winning formula. The only problem here is that the PS Vita version has a serious case of port-itis. Symptoms include itty-bitty characters and platforming elements that have clearly been optimised for living room-sized flat-screens, and noticeable compression artifacts in the full-motion video and spoken dialogue.

    Despite the fact that the PS Vita version can't compete with the ones on HD consoles, LEGO Lord of the Rings is a great Vita game and uses the handheld's features in an entertaining way.
