Player Attack: TT Games has a long-running history of making bricky adaptations of well-beloved franchises. Despite a back-catalogue spanning Star Wars, Indiana Jones and even Batman, the developer has just embarked on its most epic quest yet: LEGO Lord of the Rings.
The game is based more on the Peter Jackson film adaptations than the Tolkien novels, throwing in more than a few cinematic references to keep the fans happy. Executive Producer Nick Ricks is more than a little excited about the game, and we caught up with him at E3 to discuss one of the cutest games of the show.
A huge franchise, but which are the best The Lord of the Rings games for your time and money? Here's our top seven for all formats.
I remember Battle for Middle Earth 2, amazing game.
Also loved Two Towers & Return of the king.
& Shadow of Mordor was great.
Good list.
Never got to play the third age, I vaguely remember the cover art. Maybe I'll give it a shot someday
“The Lord of the Rings is one of few franchises that the Total War franchise has represented, but did so with both grace and flair.”
Is anyone gonna tell him that it’s not a really game? Kinda embarrassing, makes me think he hasn’t even played his “best” game.
I really enjoyed the first BFME game. At some point I became unable to play it. Wouldn't even start. Been many years since I tried getting it to run.
The very best LOTR games available right now.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Ever since the advent of full-game downloads on consoles, it seems the market has slowly been shifting towards a digital future where games are delivered through internet connections rather than physical disks. While the convenience this brings is undeniable, and plenty of gamers have embraced having a stuffed memory card in their Vita, there are major pitfalls that are slowly beginning to show, one of which is that games can be delisted without any prior warning, leaving them lost to time unless you bought them before they disappeared."
Day 1!!!
Lets hope there's some difficulty in this one and an option to have limited lives difficulty setting
The Vita version better be the same as the console version this time!!
