Imagine the potential of a Lego Middle Earth game... All 6 Jackson films in one game. One gigantic full-scale open world with next-gen graphics and processing power. Proper sword-and-shield combat building off the foundation of Skywalker Saga. Rosters of character classics, all with unique abilities. I really hope something like this is at least being considered
rip the 3rd hobbit movie dlc. greedy wb held off on releasing it even though it was fully made. they wanted to make more money and then they cancelled it
I think the "limited" roster had mostly to do with the fact that that the game took most of its material from the films. They did include a few characters who only appeared, or were only of significance, in the books, like Tom Bombadil and DLC exclusives like Glorfindel and Prince Imrahil. Of course, the films themselves only had three books to draw from, and Tolkien didn't include nearly the amount of incidental characters in his books that J.K. Rowling did in hers. DC, Marvel, and Star Wars also had the advantage of having a lot more material to draw from.
If they plan to remaster the game it will be best to add The Hobbit trilogy into it as well so you’re able to explore the entire of Middle-Earth, make the gameplay exactly the same as the Lego LOTR and not Lego The Hobbit as that just took way too much of our time and it didn’t feel as enjoyable as Lego LOTR, although with character creation they should add each of the race with their unique trait, such as hobbit: crawl thru tunnels and cook (like Sam), dwarves: crawl thru tunnels/ smash cracked bricks, elves: high jump/ shoot while running or riding on horse back, wizard: levitate bricks/ shoot beams/ project shield.
Im also suprised how they made a bonus level for Sauron (where you get sended to a tiny Middle Earth map and you gotta get 1M studs which unlocks him and his envoy Mouth of Sauron). Plus i was laughing once i got Sauron just because he can literally can one shot every enemy in the game 💀.
I loved this game, but one problem… no playable fully armored Uruk-Hai, as far as I remember, I was just a kid 😂 I remember playing with my sisters and we would play as the armor smith and gollum as if he was a pet
Thank you so much! I really like this game and even asked you to make the video about it in comment to one of your videos. I’m glad that my wish came true! I think that Lego TLOR has advantage over The Skywalker Saga because it re-enacts events of just 3 movies and because of this can better reproduce atmosphere of the trilogy.
Skywalker saga open world is really great but the levels lack so much. They are short and there is too much forced lego humor in the dialogs (ofc some is good and I appreciate all the easter eggs)
one thing i hate about the skywalker saga is the "trying to be funny" aspect of it, the game isnt serious at all and every cutscene has some dumb joke or something to make it remotely funny
I'm playing through Skywalker Saga right now, I agree with what you say but have to admit some of the gags are top tier. My favourite so far is at the start of IV: A New Hope, where they show a silver C-3PO and a green R2D2 coming into view. Then suddenly they are crushed by debris and then the normal gold C-3PO and blue R2D2 walk past them and the camera follows them instead 😂
Lego the hobbit was amazing it's size was massive in the world things you could do. As i remember you actually had quests outside the story, just in free roam. Alas they had to ruin it by not finishing the game, never they brought forth the battle of the five armies dlc, and it puts a rift in me going back to it. I'd love playing it again, but that stains it.
Yeah this game was amazing,I also remember the open world being absolutely massive for the time,you could walk across the entire map without any loading screens
I would honestly say the open world and levels are better than the Skywalker saga. The Skywalker saga had some extremely forced humor which felt out of place. LEGO LOTR has a perfect level design and a perfect and lore accurate open world. In my personal opinion I would rank this above the Skywalker saga. This game was really ahead of its time.
I played Indiana Jones, wich i thought was the most traditional lego game ever, and Batman , but this was always the greatest one. It fits perfectly into a Lego game with its style, mechanics and still gives you a good immersion on the movies story. Amazing game.
I did have a few issues with it. A lot of the time the music used didn't fit the scene at all and some scenes like the ride of the Rohirrim in RotK were pretty underwhelming. Also it had quite a lot of glitches. I played the Wii version and there were so many times where I'd accidentally clip through a wall and get stuck or sometimes the sound would break (e.g. on the 'running' levels I never had any audio other than music). It also took a long time for new areas to load or to change characters.
If they do a game like the skywalker saga with all 6 movies plus incoming spinoff content they would pull off the best lego game AND the best lord of the rings game ever.
I only hear amazing things about that one. Just got it. But i had no idea lego games were plateformers tho. I just played lego worlds , lego horizon and lego builders.(yikes for the last one tho)
I dont want to be this guy as I really enjoyed it as well, but i swear, I have never played a game with more bugs and glitches. In my 100% run i managed to clip under the map three times, all in different places
I really liked LEGO tlfr but this game is so broken, a lot of bugs, glitches and freezes, I played both Vita and PS3 versions and for me the vita is the best choice only because is not broken
I can agree on a lot of the points, yet somehow the game still doesn't feel the same as the GOAT that is Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga. Somehow that game still feels like the ultimate lego game where everything is just perfect.
It's your opinion but In my opinion lego city undercover 2 Is the best for me cause of the story of rex fury working for forest blackwell and the skydiving level top notch that's why lego city undercover 2 is the best game in my opinion
@@MisterKilgore ds is a spinoff, because it's a side story. it isn't important, to play the main game, which is LEGO City Undercover (1). Chill out, it's just a game.
You need to be joking. This game gave me ptsd when I played with my friend for that sweet 100%. Glitches, clipping through textures, enemies not spawning, painful camera. Yeah this game looks dope but it is literally hell
Brother first of all I want to say that I am speechless because I thought I am the only one or few left in the world who remembers and still loves the Lego the lord of the rings. Thanks for this very true and best words and may God always protect you. You are a legend too man bless you. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💓💓💓💓💓💓💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
My favorite LEGO game
My was too .... When I was playing on
x box 360
mine too
mine too
i played it on the wii
My favorite too! I’d love to see a 4K remaster! 😍

Lego lord of the rings souls-like
I’m hoping that this will some day be a reality
that would be absolutely amazing!

@@Bruh_Moment.. where'd you hear that

Love that you pointed out where this game succeeded, compared to where Skywalker saga fell short. Excellent analysis!
thanks bro (:
I wish we get all the middle earth movies together as one game
@@akshaytrayner1960 yea that would be so good
@@akshaytrayner1960 Bro I want that!!!
@@marionbaggins same!
This is one of few Lego games I’ve not played. Never been a massive fan of LOTR but I might have to try the game out.
It makes it perfect because I played this in the most nostalgic time in my life with my friends at my grandma's house

im gonna agree with that
And have JRR Tolkien as a playable character.
@@Person-wz6iy yea that would also be great
@@Person-wz6iy when you 100% the game
JRR Tolkien should be the Stan Lee of LEGO LOTR
74 characters is considered _SMALL?!_ I'd be pretty impressed and satisfied with that.
Im also suprised how they made a bonus level for Sauron (where you get sended to a tiny Middle Earth map and you gotta get 1M studs which unlocks him and his envoy Mouth of Sauron). Plus i was laughing once i got Sauron just because he can literally can one shot every enemy in the game 💀.
Reading this comment sent me back to Lego marvel superhero’s 1 where they did the same thing with galactic and New York
I loved this game, but one problem… no playable fully armored Uruk-Hai, as far as I remember, I was just a kid 😂

I play Lego The Hobbit a lot and I absolutely love it, I've never played Lego lotr and now I really want to.
Skywalker saga open world is really great but the levels lack so much. They are short and there is too much forced lego humor in the dialogs (ofc some is good and I appreciate all the easter eggs)
it feels a bit rushed

Yes, absolutely yes. Got it originally on Wii and got back into my PS3 copy. Determined to 100% and platinum it
I never thought a lego game would be the best/my favorite lotr game.
I like Lego The Lord of the Rings
Okay what a boring comment
@@smoker5989 just stop complaining little child
The only problem I have is that Hobbiton and Bree felt alive and lively. However, the rest of the zones felt empty with literally almost no one there.
The hobbit had a better ability to use the ring everywhere
Well, Frodo was explicitly told NOT to use the ring, like, ever.
Bilbo had no idea what it was or how dangerous it would be.
as the first Lego games i ever played it great to see people really enjoy this master piece
Idk Leggo Hobbit is a good competitor
I remember that character roster being bigger when I was 10 lol
We need a new lego lord of the rings game in the style of the skywalker saga.
With a remaster would be a chefs kiss
Lego the hobbit was amazing it's size was massive in the world things you could do. As i remember you actually had quests outside the story, just in free roam.

Yeah this game was amazing,I also remember the open world being absolutely massive for the time,you could walk across the entire map without any loading screens
The hobbit one is also great
Lego LOTR, made me fall in Love with Middle Earth!!!
I'd love to see all six LOTR/Hobbit movies in a new game!
I want this game. U can only get on steam now though, mainlycoz the studios got mad as lego used the real lines from the film!
I would honestly say the open world and levels are better than the Skywalker saga. The Skywalker saga had some extremely forced humor which felt out of place. LEGO LOTR has a perfect level design and a perfect and lore accurate open world. In my personal opinion I would rank this above the Skywalker saga. This game was really ahead of its time.
My lego game favorite is lego city and stars wars skywalker 🤠
Same!
Imagine if the map was not limited to only Middle-Earth
I played Indiana Jones, wich i thought was the most traditional lego game ever, and Batman , but this was always the greatest one.
It fits perfectly into a Lego game with its style, mechanics and still gives you a good immersion on the movies story. Amazing game.

It also took a long time for new areas to load or to change characters.
It's because of hardware limitations.
Man this was my favorite game i played it in repeat all the time
I missed this game so much, wish it was in current consoles and the Hobbit is cool but it is not a complete story which is disappointing....
I am proud to say that I made 100% of this masterpiece. It's one of my favorite games by far, and I'm not just talking about lego games!
i would kill to play this game again.
The audio on this review is far too low
This game is an absolute gem on the Steam Deck with that Expansion mod. Just make sure to use Proton GE.
This was the first of many video games I ever played. So good. Started my favorite hobby for my entire life!
I just got 100% with all achievements it was a blast
Favorite lego game I hope it get a skywalker saga treatment
Is this getting a remaster for ps5?
YES, THANK YOU. IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR AGES, ITS SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD JESUS. ABSOLUTE CHILDHOOD
Bro i want a LotR souls style game that would be sick
I wouldn't say the perfect one but it's definitely an extraordinary one.
If they do a game like the skywalker saga with all 6 movies plus incoming spinoff content they would pull off the best lego game AND the best lord of the rings game ever.
This game is the best lego game ever no one can change my mind
I only hear amazing things about that one. Just got it. But i had no idea lego games were plateformers tho. I just played lego worlds , lego horizon and lego builders.(yikes for the last one tho)
It's now 99p on cdkeys
Best Lego game for all of eternity
“vi” 💀
Dude calibrate ur mic or put a low cut filter cus the clipping is too distracting for me
Only 74 characters?! lol I guess I’m not familiar with Lego games but that’s not what I expected to hear hahaha. I was thinking 3 or something
Did you call ents trees
I dont want to be this guy as I really enjoyed it as well, but i swear, I have never played a game with more bugs and glitches. In my 100% run i managed to clip under the map three times, all in different places
Even the 3DS version is pretty good. Imo, at least.
defo top 5 for me
And Jurassic World
I have Lego the hobbit, I’m getting Lego LotR next week.
Are you enjoying it?
@ yeah, I like them both
I would say lego The Hobbit is the pro game Except for the fact that they didn't finish the 3rd movie
LEGO LOTR had a way better free roam. And the level designs in LOTR are way better than the hobbit. The hobbit had some annoying filler levels.
Pirateys pirates of the caribbean is the best one
Correct
So what
Makes lego the hobbit worse?
dude idk .. im really really trying to like this game and i do like it but its soo full of glitches for me
They need to make a lego lotr/hobbit game like skywalker saga
I really liked LEGO tlfr but this game is so broken, a lot of bugs, glitches and freezes, I played both Vita and PS3 versions and for me the vita is the best choice only because is not broken
Pc version is better
Best lego game ever
Yes!
I can agree on a lot of the points, yet somehow the game still doesn't feel the same as the GOAT that is Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga. Somehow that game still feels like the ultimate lego game where everything is just perfect.
For a long time, I wished for many franchises to be made into Lego games. Such as Doctor Who. A Lego Doctor Who Video Game would've been so cool 😢...
You might be interested in LEGO Dimensions. Though it isn’t supported anymore and quite hard to play nowadays.
It's your opinion but
In my opinion lego city undercover 2
Is the best for me cause of the story of rex fury working for forest blackwell and the skydiving level top notch that's why lego city undercover 2 is the best game in my opinion
The game is called just lego city undercover. Without "2"
@@Caspff it's second one cause DS is the first
@@MisterKilgore Idc, it isn't "2". And the DS game is a spinoff.
@@Caspff actually the ds one came first and the second the current one avaliable everywhere IS the spinoff go get a life
@@MisterKilgore ds is a spinoff, because it's a side story. it isn't important, to play the main game, which is LEGO City Undercover (1). Chill out, it's just a game.
No lego pirates of the carribean is the best
It’s good but if they added free roam and you could like go on a ship and explore the sea to get to different places it would Definitely be the best
You need to be joking. This game gave me ptsd when I played with my friend for that sweet 100%. Glitches, clipping through textures, enemies not spawning, painful camera. Yeah this game looks dope but it is literally hell
Nah. Got 100 percent on this no sweat.
I've heard the pc port was pretty bad so if you were playing on that it may be the problem

I just bought it on my Xbox 360 and I am going to play it now for the first time
i used to take turns playing this game with my brother we’d set a timer for like 2 hours and switch 🥲 i love this game
The game sucked, you couldn’t even fight in the siege of Minas tirith
