It is fun, with plenty of charm and wit, but it falls short where it really matters – the gameplay department. The grandeur of the movies is present, but the simplistic puzzles and lack of variations stop it from becoming one of the better titles in the franchise. Kudos to Traveller’s Tales for trying to change things a little, but the developer hasn’t completely managed to craft it’s magic on this release. Next time, some help from Gandalf might do the trick."

The latest Lego effort is one of the more rushed efforts from the overworked Traveller's Tales studio, but it's much more appealing at this price. It's certainly worth a look if you're a series fan. The third film was supposed to be added as DLC late last year, but things have been oddly quiet on that front. Warner and Traveller's Tales recently released a list of title's they were working on, and the conclusion to to the trilogy didn't get a mention. Hmmm.

"If you've played a Lego game before, you'll mostly know what to expect with Lego The Hobbit, and for the more mature players this formula may be feeling a little tired. Running through familiar locales, collecting studs (Lego's currency), beating up a myriad of enemies who don't post much of a threat and building answers to simple puzzles, this series is definitely a game for younger fans. It's always been the case with Lego titles - and rightfully so - but for fans who are drawn to these titles by their familiar franchises are likely to feel a little bored by the end. "
