GodisaGeek: "LEGO The Lord of the Rings is a much different LEGO game than what we’re used to. There’s no hub world, everything is fully voice acted and the world that we’re playing around in is much larger than we’ve come to expect from the series. That being said, nothing is taken away from the humour and fun that everyone seems to love. The fact that the developers have taken serious lines from the film and twisted them to fit into the story in a humorous way can be a little bit jarring at times, but it’s never enough to stop the enjoyment of the experience. Fans of the LEGO series of games will no doubt be picking this up for the same reasons they’ve picked up all of the other games, for The Lord of the Rings fans it’s a no-brainer."
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.
Now the entire family can team up in pairs as adorable LEGO: The Lord of the Rings minifigures to experience countless dangers, solve riddles and battle formidable foes on their journey to Mount Doom.
