In Free Play mode, I used Sauron as often as possible, since he defeats the enemies with a single hit, progressing the game much faster. On the other hand, there’s not too many ways to become better as the game is limited to hitting, pushing and shooting, for characters with ranged attacks. There’s basically no penalty for dying so there’s also no incentive to be good at fighting. I hated the combat, which I thought was too long and unnecessary. Unfortunately, the game isn’t as good from the technical and mechanical point of view. It’s partially the completionist in me speaking but I really enjoyed looking for all the tokens and treasures, which are also necessary to unlock all the trophies in the game. The ability to go back and revisit all the locations in the game and explore them using all the abilities is what makes the game the most fun. They can also serve less useful purposes like enabling big head mode or helium voice mode. The red bricks enable ‘cheats’ in the game, such as multiplying the value of the collected studs or enabling character token and treasure detectors. The treasures are part of side fetch quests and can be returned to NPCs waiting for them in many hubs in the world and exchanged for red LEGO bricks. In Free Play, all the unlocked are available and their abilities have to be used to find even more character tokens, character profiles, as well as treasures. This encourages the player to go back to those locations in Free Play mode, which unlocks for every chapter separately, upon completing it in Story Mode. Throughout the main campaign, the player comes across certain objects that can’t be dealt with by the specific group of characters he or she controls at that moment.

Most of the game, in story mode at least, there aren’t be many characters to choose from, so the probability of getting stuck is pretty low. It takes some time to get used to who can do what but the game always brings up helpful tips on the bottom of the screen to indicate which character to choose for a particular task. Those abilities fit the theme pretty well and don’t seem out of place. All the hobbits are able to fit through small passageways in order to reach certain locations, Legolas can shoot arrows, Gimli has a powerful axe which can be used to destroy certain objects, Sam can plant flowers, Gandalf can interact with magical objects. Most of the characters in the game can perform actions specific to them or to their ‘class’ of characters. All the major location and events are covered in the game through gameplay as well as cutscenes, which invariably include some element of humor, trying to make the game more appealing to a younger audience. We accompany and control the hobbits as well as other characters from the books on their journey through the Shire, Rivendell, Rohan, Gondor, etc. This involves solving simple puzzles, using different characters to perform different actions, fighting enemies, looking for collectibles and, most of all, picking up LEGO studs. The game tells the story of the book/movie sticking to its main plot points but changing the particular events in the story to accommodate for some LEGO gameplay. LEGO Lord of the Rings follows the same patterns I knew from LEGO Pirates and which are pretty standard for the series. This sounded more like something that would convince me so I clenched my teeth, played through the first battle again and I mostly enjoyed the rest of the game. Some weeks later, however, I talked about the game with other players on The Vita Lounge forum and I got encouraged to give the game another chance, especially since it offered an easy and relatively quick platinum trophy. Still, I wasn’t enjoying it and I decided to play something else instead. This shouldn’t have come as a surprise, since the LOTR game is a port of the 3DS title and was not developed with the Vita in mind.

I didn’t like the combat, everything seemed poorer and of lower quality than what I remembered from the Pirated LEGO game. I can’t really put my finger on it but something was wrong.

I launched the game, created a new save file and… I didn’t play through the first ‘tutorial’ battle. Based on my experience with Jack Sparrow and the company, as well as having heard that every LEGO game is very similar to the next one, I though I would give LEGO Lord of the Rings a try on the handheld console.

I had only played one LEGO game before and that was LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean on the PS3 and I had no problems with the game, although it definitely was an easier, simpler title than what I usually play.

Browsing through my PlayStation Plus backlog on the Vita some time ago I cam across a game that promised several hours of platforming fun and good humor.
