Finally a very good (Lego) LotR game!

If you are looking for a clever Lord of the Rings game for consoles, so they had got so far always purposed only half-baked foods. Now Telltale Games comes along and creates what so many have failed. While it is at first glance a bit childish therefore (wg. The Lego theme), but by a "serious" story-telling combined with discreet Lego Game Charm it is for each LotR or action-adventure fan, a top Game!

In the game you are fighting through all the waypoints of the journey of Frodo and Sam. The individual levels are connected by a large walk-through Middle-earth world. In the levels puzzles must be solved by searching, on combination, to action tasks. In each level, different characters are required to make it according to 100% complete, thus a very high replay value is given to also complete. In the vast overworld are (like GTA4) different extra tasks to do, what you get imposed by the inhabitants of Middle-earth. During the game different characters can be freely bought, which (as with all previous Lego games) have different abilities.

If you liked the previous Lego games, here immediately felt like "home". But a proper development is the great Middle-earth open world which freely accessible and full of secrets is peppered. Another development is the really very successful speech (partly the dialogues of the characters are 1: 1 from the book / movie taken).

Conclusion: Very good action adventure with charming setting. For Lego LOTR fans and a must!
