PSU looks at why the PlayStation Vita port of LEGO The Lord Of The Rings is so poor compared to its console counterpart.
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.

It worries me that some developers do seem to be doing a half-arsed job on PS Vita titles. Black Ops Declassified really could have been something to make naysayers sit up and take notice, but they royally cocked that up.
2013 better bring home the bacon!
A new console receiving rushed ports in it's first year?
Get out of town.
both the 3DS and PSV versions are the same and very bad, it's just the industry ignoring the handheld market - it's not something new, the same thing was with PSP and DS, both systems were simply abandoned by western 3rd party which was and still is too busy making PS360PC huge budget games, even if they often turn out as commercial failures
Game sucks I bought the Vita for the same games the ps3 has and I will never buy any games ported from the 3ds
Didn't i hear that the Vita version of this game is basically a port of the 3DS version. Of course the game is going to be less than than the console cause developers want parity so if the 3DS is going to be lead platform than the Vita is going to suffer cause of that.
I keep hearing the Vita is so easy to develop for & port games to, i find it disappointing that developers are taking the easy route out. The 3DS is a great handheld but we all know the 'horsepower' in the system is just not up to par with the Vita.
