In news that will surprise only Gollum, there’s going to be a Lego Lord of the Rings game. It had long been assumed, rumoured, attributed to unnamed sources and then discovered via packaging on advanced review toys sent to journalists. Well now it’s confirmed.
It’s from Traveller’s Tales again, naturally, and it features everyone’s favourite fantasy characters not imagined by George R R Martin. It’ll be on just about everything that plays games: the 360 and PS3, PC, Wii, 3DS and DS, and the Vita. No mention of Wii U though, as yet.
It’s pencilled in for this autumn, which should be roughly around the time that Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit arrives in cinemas.
Here’s a video:

I really hope they only added in the voices just for the trailer otherwise they risk losing the humour that Lego Star Wars had. Plus, the enviroments don’t look like they are made out of lego.

This could be great, but might lose a bit of charm now that it has voice acting.

this looks mind blowing, most of the Lego games were not very good but this looks like it could change that i need to get it!!

Haven’t played a Lego game since the Original Star Wars trilogy on DS. Think I’ll keep an eye on this.

how do they wear a ring?
they don’t have fingers.
anyway, the game should be enjoyable, as all the lego games have been so far.
nice to see some speech in the cutscenes now as well as the trademark humour.
