  1. Provides familiar landmarks, stays true to elements of the story and allows players to work through the levels in a way that provides fun and challenge.
  2. A fine place to start for younger gamers. In that respect, the puzzles, side quests and overall presentation are just about right.

    Aside from a weak combat system and poorly designed jumping puzzles, the game is just a tedious scavenger hunt that usually feels more like work than entertainment.

    An all around fun game with great music. Sneaking, action, puzzles the game has it all. Graphics aren't amazing but the art style is great, the gameplay is fun and refreshing. A must have in my books. Expand

  2. As an action game, The Hobbit is, meh...but as a platforming game it's still, meh. The camera is a bit clunky, and the voice acting rather bad. However, this game does one thing well, immersion. Despite the fact that you know it's a game, and designed to be such, it is fun surveying the environments and seeing a cartoony version of middle-earth. Expand
