When not fighting orcs, you're compiling Lego structures to forge new paths through the environment, firing arrows at specific targets to solve puzzles, and taking part in some light platforming.
There's reverence for the source material, but equally LTLotRTVG is happy to send up the epic storyline of Lord of the Rings where appropriate. This is for those who want pleasantly undemanding gameplay and plenty of humour.
It's not for hardcore fighting gamers, then. There's not much of a penalty for death, and you can make it through most scrapes through sheer persistence in lieu of skill. LTLotRTVG places a fair amount of emphasis on combat - as you'd expect - and though this is basic fare it's enjoyable. Of course, that's quite a rare situation, and while the single-player experience it's still entertaining the AI simply isn't as much fun to muck about with as another human being. If you have multiple Vitas in your home, then firing them up for some local co-op could - I imagine - be a great deal of fun. If you're new to the Lego games then all you really need to know is that they're family-friendly adventures with plenty of action, a few environmental puzzles, and enough all-ages gags thrown in to keep mums, dads, and children chuckling away - preferably together. Which is a pity, because LTLotRTVG (I'm pronouncing it "luh-tea-lot-rut-vug") has a lot of solid ideas - some you've seen before in the series, and some that are brand new.
Instead, it's just a decent enough port to a less powerful device. You're reminded constantly, though almost subconsciously, that this isn't the big budget triple-A Lego release you were expecting. But the more time you spend with it the more you start to see where corners have been cut. It's difficult to put your finger on, but it's definitely there.Īt first glance this game is a conversion of the home console releases: a quality product, made with a passion for the subject at hand, and a high level of attention to detail.
