LEGO: The Lord of the Rings - 3DS/2DS

Traveller’s Tales has made a name for itself with its fun and family-friendly LEGO titles. With J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy in its hands, the UK studio is now taking on its most ambitious project to date. Rather than split up the games into multiple releases, it is hoping to cram as much content from the three films, books and other official material as possible into one disc.

This has resulted in the largest open world yet for the series, a huge amount of gameplay material and plenty of cinematic sequences to parody in the style that Traveller’s Tales has become famous for. Family and friends can pair up and take a walk through the many famous locations within Middle Earth, experiencing countless dangers, solving riddles and battling foes on the way to Mount Doom.

Not only has Traveller’s Tales managed to squeeze as much content as possible from Peter Jackson’s epic film adaptation into the game, there is also a lot of additional content from the original books too. Some of these are included in the form of references and locales that you can discover, others take the form of special quests that combine Lord of the Rings and LEGO action in one package.
