LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ Reviews

An absolute delight!

Friendlie

If you are a LOTR fan, then this is a must while its on sale for only a buck! For a buck you can get a McDonald coke, maybe a candy bar on sale but for a measley buck you can get LEGO LOTR! An outstanding value! I just added this to my LEGO Batman collection this afternoon and have played about 1 hour. Like I said, if you like LOTR then this will put a smile on your face. You have some cutscenes redone LEGO style with voice overs from the movie. The music is straight from the movie as well. The shire was fun but the music a little redundant after awhile but very whimsical. If you haven't played LEGO games before they are creative, humorous and just overall fun. There have been many negative comments about the controls and I would tend to agree it can be frustrating. There are two options: swipe and tap or virtual joystick/button controls. The virtual stick is more accurate but it does have its issues with sensitivity and odd camera angles sometimes. As a gamer from commodore 64, Atari 2600, nes, snes, gamecube, dreamcast, wii, and ps3- yes mobile gaming can be really tough. But for me I know the limitations and adapt to it. So the controls aren't a deal buster. Is LOTR fun and playable- for sure. Are the controls for everyone, maybe not for thoughs who have high expectations of mobile gaming. LOTR certainly is worth the price of admission especially with all the content you get. 4.5 stars out of 5.

Great game, but in-app ads ruined it

issac5

I love this game, great graphics, gaming mechanics, and storyline. However the in-app ads ruined my experience over all the fun it brought to me. When you start game, you see ads, ok I suppose I can handle that. But every time you open the in-game menu you still see ads, which is unacceptable to me. I paid $5 for this game and didn't expect to buy these ads. If I could, I would pay more to remove these ads, but there is no option like this in game. I am giving it 2 stars until they fix this problem.

Love it, but game saves are glitchy

KreepyFisty

The scenes are beautifully rendered and the challenges reminiscent of standard LEGO-type games while at the same time making them relevant to the story line. Twice now, as I change play between iPhone and iPad mini, and one on the mini itself, the game saves do not pick up where I left off. I don’t know if this is a Game Center glitch or the game...

Lego LOTR

Great game over all, the only things that i was not a fan of were the controls, the story missed a lot of crucial elements, and the game went by really really fast. (I beat it in less than 2 days)

Complete Garbage

JEmlay

Horrible play control. Controls stink. Constant falling into lava because you can't see where the heck you're walking. I couldn't even stomach the begining.

Good...But

RileySW

Great app! I love the story and the physics plus it is very entertaining. But one of the main reasons I bought this game was for the variety of characters. There are many characters to play as but they cost SO much! Sauron costs 10,000,000 and I have been playing for a while and only recently breached 1,000,000. I would rate it five stars if you decrease the costs. Thanks.

Impossible don't waste your money!

Could be less hard

The orcs where fun but I can't get past the part with a wall of fish bones and I can't even get gollum! I am not playing until you make it easier.

Balrog glitch???

Shadowfax The Mearas

I love this game, but I cannot defeat the Balrog at the end of The Bridge of Khazad-Dum, where Gandalf is on top of the Balrog and they are falling. I have tried many ways of tapping and have come to the conclusion that it is a glitch in the game. Half the time the game does not even register that I tapped so the time runs out and the purple bar fills up again. If this is broken, please fix it! I want to finish this game!

Seriously

Carter Baker77

I was loving it til i seen i had to buy character packs, when i buy a game i should have evrything unlocked, that is BS

Great game but some levels too difficult

DBnGU

Some levels almost impossible to clear with touch and jump feature. Not as user-friendly as Lego Star Wars.
