Nice to finally see some gameplay...

Some more gameplay, including Gandalf vs The Balrog:

Some facts about the game:

The game will cover all three movies, but for now won't include the Hobbit.
The game pulls audio directly from the movies, so is fully voiced.
There will be some minor RPG elements, such as collecting mythril so that armour can be crafted from it.

All in all, I'm very much looking forward to this game.

Second Age? I'm assuming he means the Third Age. But maybe we get to play during the War of the Last Alliance. That could be pretty cool.

Open World Middle Earth?

**** that's impressive.

Nemesis X
Indeed.

Would make sense. IIRC the first of the Lord of the Rings games started with the LA battle as the "tutorial level"- t'was also the first scene in the movies.

I find it sad that someone like Travellers Tales can do an open world LOTR's game that's not an MMO and yet some other big game dev couldn't do it that or they're not interested.

Damn, I'll add it to my list lol.

Anyone played the demo?

Hella fun.

Just seen the Boromir death scene, They went over the top with it in a good way.

Well i picked up my copy today, The hub area is the whole of middle earth. As someone said on a game show that i usually watch "Its Skyrim in Lego form"

also come across people as you travel in the hub area which they give you fetch quests.

Been playing this since yesterday; have to say I'm very happy with it. The "hub world" Middle Earth works great in my opinion, and they've captured the feel of the movies quite well, while still maintaining that lego humour.

Just finished story mode, and am now going back through the levels to try to get all the secrets. The open world puzzles are crazy in amount, so they're going to take me a while.

If there's one complaint I have it's that on PC, the game, like Batman 2, doesn't allow you to invert the y axis in the camera. While this was more of an issue in Batman due to flying, the camera issues in this game still irrritate me at times.

I don't see why they continue to deny people the option.

All that said, I'm going to end up buying the Helm's Deep Lego set.

Seen some reviews mentioning the inventory system is a mess

"shrugs" works fine for me.

-Pr-
It was all right for me...
