Elle Garza of GamingUnwrapped writes - "I will be the first person to admit to my Tolkien fangirl-ism. I’ve read the books too many times to count, jammed out to the movie scores in the car, and can have entire conversations using nothing but book and film quotes. From second grade until high school, I was convinced I would marry Aragorn, and I tried to convince my mom to legally change my name to an elven one, as well as have my ears permanently shaped (I failed at both of these things). Since my first encounter with Traveller’s Tales’ Lego Lord of the Rings at E3, I have been nothing short of enamored. I desperately awaited its release, and I’m happy to say, I received everything I hoped for and then some."
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.
