"Lego: The Lord of the Rings has lifted the bar on the LEGO game franchise. There is an abundance of things to do including all new side missions, bonus levels, and has characters never seen before in the films. The story is based on Peter Jackson’s remarkable trilogy of films, with the addition of Lego’s all new ‘Free Roam’ where it makes a small detour to the linear games we have seen before."
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.
