What players say

its a really good game sadly its unfinished and it will stay unfinished because of how long its been since it came out it doesnt have the third movie involved in the game but it is still worth getting it on sale to play for the first time will play again at some point

The best lego game and one of the greatest games set in the world of the lord of the rings.i have been playing this game since i was a kid,and i love it.i highly recommend it to play
MehtiwiseRecommendedafter 37hSep 2026Read on Steam
I really enjoyed the gameplay, the mechanics, the humour and everything, but then ran into the abrupt ending and was WTF just happened. I considered it was like Harry Potter lego games where each book was a separate sub-story but nope... they just shipped 2/3rd of the story 🤦‍♂️ And at this point there is no hope to have the complete one so the only reaction to the game and Warner Bros is the same I got: 🖕
