LEGO Lord of the Rings - Playstation 3

It was a cute Lego game and had Tom Bombadil in it. Very good game great for kids to play.

Listen, if you're into the old school ZELDA and Super Mario Bros.fan for SNES...then you WILL LOVE THIS. The graphics are in fact great! and the story line with the real audio from the film is remarkable. You can tell they put a lot of work into this game. If you love the movies, like I do, then this game is a fun, cute, funny, game that you can either play casually when you're bored or get very much into the action with all the different characters. If you liked Batman 2 (LEGO) for the Vita, this game will make you a cult follower for sure! I saw a lot of reviews about the graphics and game play...uhmm..its pretty much a mix of PS2 and PS3 graphics with a gameplay that allows you to unlock the main characters from the film with or without cheats. In regards to collecting coins, they really make you feel that you are discovering new parts to a level and collecting those coins and unlocking little hidden items makes you connected with the game. TRUST ME, it is a great game to play and really just fall in love with. I am a HUGE critic when it comes to Vita games...maybe because I want them to be better and better. Have fun and enjoy having that feeling of being a kid again with excitement to play this game. ENJOY :)

I am an adult and I love LEGOS. Having LEGO video games for your favorite Movies or even other game crossovers is bonus! These LEGO games follow a more family friendly version of the source material, plenty of comical jabs and are really fun. Nothing like Destroying other Lego characters and more pieces fly out than what holds them together! The local co-op makes it fun for friends and families to play together.

I didn't buy this for my kids (girl, 6, and boy, 2). I like that the content is pretty much age appropriate such that they can play it and they can watch me play it without me feeling too badly. But that's not why I bought it. This is the best way to explore Middle Earth as portrayed in Peter Jackson's films. Ostensibly, the main focus of the game is following the events of the films and books. But that will only take you a handful of hours. The real fun comes from exploring the nooks and crannies of this recreated world. It's not as sprawling as, say, Skyrim. But all of the major locations of the film and books are present. You can, in fact, just walk straight from the Shire to Mordor. There are dozens of characters to unlock, side-quests to complete, and items to craft. The difficulty of the main quest is pretty low. I'm sure my daughter could beat it if her hands fit the DualShock better. But many of the puzzles to be completed to unlock those characters, finish those side-quests, etc., are gnarly. There is a pleasing depth to the experience. The graphics are gorgeous. The soundtrack to the film is borrowed and expanded and lends your gaming sessions a feeling of magnificence. I was initially disappointed by the brief and easy "main" game, but once I started digging into the game that opens up after you have "beaten" it I forgave all. Highly recommended. One of the most fun gaming experiences I've had on the PS3.

I'm just going to start off by saying Wow LEGO- you did it again!!! This game, like all other LEGO video games, its incredibly fun to play and be a part of. The jokes are great, the dubbing of voices is amazing since they used the actual voices of the cast of the LOTR from the films. Its easy to play and it offers a MASSIVE map of Middle Earth that has endless secrets and items to find. I sat down and played this game for 6-7 days, only stopping to eat, go to the bathroom and sleep and only then did I fully complete the game. You can chose from a wide range of characters with different, unique abilities (for example Sam's main weapon is a frying pan & he can cook, make fire and even use his Elven Rope he got in the FOTR) from Frodo to Sauron. The graphics are superb as well. Even during climactic scenes (no spoilers i promise) the games deals with it seriously, but with a silliness that's characteristic only to LEGO. Multiplayer is fun and easy with split screens and ideal for playing with a friend or child. Wonderful, fun, funny and really cool. 5 stars!

My kids really like this video game after seeing most of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It's nice that it is faithful to the story and mostly to the movie. I like that it has the Lego characters saying actual lines from the movie. It gives it a more realistic feeling. It has a lot of challenges to keep the kids thinking and problem solving, certainly challenged. I also like there is no blood. Even when you have to defeat an army of orks, killing them just results in flying Lego pieces, which is nice. I gave it 4 stars because of two things I didn't like. First, the main story line of the game was concluded to quickly/easily. I think they should have made it more difficult to get through the main part of the game and destroy the ring. Even with very limited playing time each day and not being experienced gamers, they had the storyline complete in 2 weeks. Luckily there is a TON of free play and quests to do after that so they are still interested in playing it. Related to this there was a LOT of stuff a long the way that you couldn't do anything with because it was for a later free-play section, that was pretty frustrating for the kids (and me). Second, the bad guys sometimes send you on quests and promise to do nice things for you. For one thing this is not very realistic. But it mainly bothers me because I don't like the blurring of the lines between good and evil. If they are the bad guys, then they are the bad guys and you shouldn't be given quests to give them fancy weaponry or whatever so they can teach you how to fight better. I'm sure many people won't care about that. But it does bother me. Overall a good game and I would recommend it.

Got it in good time, brand new, in package. No complaints here.

Ich war erst skeptisch ob mir ein lego Spiel gefällt. Aber es gefällt mir sehr gut. Leider ist das Spiel komplett auf englisch. Daher muss ich mir alles zurecht suchen. wenn man gut englisch kann sollte man sich es holen aber wer es schlecht kann sollte die finger davon lassen . weil man die erklärungen und den text nicht versreht.

やり込み要素がしっかりとあるので、やりごたえがあります。輸入版だから英語の音声を心配しましたが、特に気になることはありませんでしたが、自分はロードオブザリングのファンでストーリーも知っているからだと思います。ユーモアもあってよかったです。

Fun game

Had loads of fun playing this game. I love Lego games, and this one didn't disappoint. Free world. Lots of lovely graphics and places to explore
