Ok so I'm not sure if anyone's posted about it, or has the game, but I stumbled upon this today and thought I'd share it.

It looks awesome to me, but what do you think?

My wife and I enjoy playing the Lego games together so I picked it up, but we have both been to busy to actually have time to sit down and play it. I'll try and post some comments on it at some point.

My wife's been playing it non-stop since it arrived last night, through migraines and sickness- it is really awesome. The inventory system, quests, and combat gardening make it the most complex Lego game yet, which is a wonderful thing.

Graphics are literally all that matter about games, and damn any choices otherwise for the sake of art style or a unique look.

Awesome!

I do hope they do it in the style of the older LEGO games and keep as much of the landscape made out of LEGO as possible. These new realistic environments just don't do it for me.

Man they sure are milking this franchise for all it's worth. I guess as long as people keep giving them money why stop.

Yes, while I make a comment on the state of lego games in general, and in doing so express my feelings toward it, you simply say that you don't like my opinion. Grow up.

We can grow up together if you stop whining about a company making money from a game franchise that still has strong sales numbers.

Now you're just slinging mud and repeating what I've already said. Also stopdislikingwhatIlike.jpeg and all that mess.

For being on the forums so long you sure do act like you just got here sometimes.

If the game is good why does it matter if it is milked or not?

It looks like great fun, and totally ridiculous: Gimli acting like his axe is a shotgun, a slain Uruk Hai kicking Aragorn in the nads, an Ent surfing through Isengaard (I saw it too)...tons of insane stuff. That said, I've bought all the Star Wars LEGO games, and Batman, I'll probably get this at some point too. I even bought LEGO Harry Potter (for a friend only though-I won't touch HP myself).

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I'm surprised how far-reaching the audience of Lego Games is. When I was a kid, they were just starting to roll out of the studios, and the results were so-so. The Lego Star Wars games left a bad taste in my mouth, since I played the actual games they were meant to emulate.

This will be more of the same, probably. I have all three of the original LOTR games for the PS2, and I still play them every now and then. I also had a couple of them for the GBA, which had a good vibe to them.

Someone can't handle factual humour...

Lego games have a childish factor and appeal to the completionist on all of us. I just hope they have the whole buy these effects and characters for ingame coins system. That and the hidden mini kits to build things.

Great series but they will soon find new material other than well trodden ground.

That looks awesome. I love the Lego Star Wars games, and I laughed aloud more at that trailer than I believed possible.
