Instead of a LOTR inspired LEGO world, you get a straightforward interpretation of Middle Earth with some LEGOs lying around. Both experiences are enjoyable in their own way, but they don’t feel connected at all. You actually forget it’s a LEGO game until you see a blocky pile of rubble in front of you that clashes with its surroundings, at which point you run right up to it and smash it to bits, delighting in the resultant mini-explosion of LEGO studs and pieces. As you leave the ornate architecture of Rivendell behind you, with all nine members of the Fellowship in tow and a vast crawl of sun-drenched mountains before you, the nerd chills hit. It certainly has a magical allure to it, but that magic feels borrowed rather than created. Playing through it is more or less like getting treated to a cliff notes version of the trilogy. That charm is mostly lost here though due to how directly the game apes the movies. There’s always been a certain charm to seeing simple, creative ways to translate a comic book or feature film into the LEGO universe. Every strand of music and every line of dialogue is pulled straight from Peter Jackson’s successful film adaptions, both to the game’s benefit and detriment. Of all the LEGO games, Lord of the Rings makes the clearest effort to trade on the power of the brand it features.
