gamrReview's Chris Matulich: "Although they have a simplistic feel to them, LEGO games undoubtedly provide an immensely entertaining outlet for a number of licensed properties, and LEGO The Hobbit delivers another great experience. There are some new issues with the camera and its unfortunate tendency to trap you in an infinite death loop while playing co-op, and the general simplicity of the game and limited innovations to the gameplay will put off some, but LEGO The Hobbit is definitely fun to play."

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.
CGM causes havoc and mayhem in middle earth as they play though Lego The Hobbit on PS4. They look at what options are available in the game and what makes the experience fun.

"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. "
