“When you look at the potential of what a LEGO game can actually achieve, this is probably as close to perfect as we're going to get. If you are on the fence about this one at all, get it. The game structure coupled with…”

“Love it. Always wanted to play but now, I have adult money so worth it!”
“I've seen many people consider this the best Lego game. I don't agree, but it is enjoyable nonetheless. I don't think the abilities are as well-split as say the avengers games. The third act also feels very rushed, and…”

“The gameplay is accessible yet satisfying, blending platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat. Each character has unique abilities that are cleverly used to overcome obstacles and navigate levels, encouraging players to…”
“It's a great game that captures the plot of the films well, but I think it's best played with a friend in co-op. The levels are quite interesting, and we completed them without any problems. It's really good that this…”
“Second favorite Lego game (Lego City Undercover #1) Open world is amazing, graphics are decent, Co-op is perfected and Lego humor is there. Almost spotless game, only complaint I could have is the cutscene audio taken…”

“Best lego game in my opinion. Having actual dialogue didn't detract from the comedy and only amplified it. Open world is fun to explore and has reaally cool atmosphere. Character roster is decent, although many…”
“Tl;dr: Classic, good ol' fun LEGO game, highly recommend it. There are some flaws in the old engine and polish, but it's often in discount, and worth the original pricing. Both for LOTR and LEGO-games fans, this is an…”

“The game is buggy. I have to reset the 14th level because I accidentally equip two of the armors on Frodo Baggins. It is less of a bug but more of a feature that should have been in the game for convenience. Level 14th…”
“Its pretty buggy, and not totally to the movies (skips some stuff, changes some other). But, I think its fun”
“Objective is almost always unclear, the "gameplay" prioritizes following the story over creating fun levels, too much on scripted events where you might as well be watching the movie, the inclusion of voices SOUNDS AND…”

“Anyone who's played this game knows the brown platforming bricks are your biggest enemy. Sauron quivers in fear at the mention of them.”
“Another great Lego game, but not as good as those that came before. This game relied on twitch gaming (precision platforming) more than previous version which is just frustrating for elderly players like myself.…”

“Only a few minutes in and I'm already thoroughly unimpressed. I even bought the game on sale for $3.99. I had to lower my resolution and graphics to the absolute minimum, to be able to do a certain mechanic very early…”
“I enjoyed the game. There were a few annoying bugs with the jumping puzzles in open world. I also found a problem with pusheble objects but got it fixed by changing refresh rate to 60hz.”

“GOD awful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ software, that has so many functionality bugs. One being the controller mapping and recognition is broken beyond reason. The game suddenly not launching anymore among other issue is a deal breaker.…”

“The only LOTR game where you can walk from Hobbiton to Mt. Doom, with Howard Shore's impeccable score.”
