  1. IGN
    75
    Recommended to hardcore Tolkien fans or to younger players after a fun adventure. That said, the game has a long way to go to take on "Link" in battle.
  2. ActionTrip
    72
    Younger gamers are sure to be drawn into the story and the fluent gameplay, which rarely offers any particular brainstorming. Also, it’s a fair assumption that Tolkien fans and average gamers might find something in it as well.
  3. PC Gameworld
    70
    Though the Hobbit does decent job in recreating the events of J.R. Tolkein's famous book of the same name, simplistic objectives and an overall easy quest hurt an otherwise average game.
  4. GameSpot
    65
    Tolkien fans may enjoy the game's presentation of Middle-earth lore, but The Hobbit tends to rely too heavily on derivative, uninspired gameplay for it to stand up on its own.
  5. PC Format
    63
    An ordinary platformer that struggles with expectations.
  6. GameSpy
    60
    Its look and feel is too juvenile for adults, and some of its challenges are too difficult and frustrating for kids. Even rabid Tolkien fans won't care for the game, thanks to its translation of the classic novel into a lightweight, cartoonish platformer.
  7. GMR Magazine
    30
    If you play only one game set in Middle-earth this year, don't make it this one.

    Very enjoyable game of my childhood. Music is very good. Every level is distinct from each other in style and goals.
