It has been quite the journey for LEGO, from simple building blocks of our youth to today where they are stars in their own movies and video games. This new release, which is set within the world of The Hobbit movie hits all the right notes. Testers told us that they found this new game to be more challenging that previous LEGO video games but that that is a good thing. They liked how closely the action matched the storyline of the movie. There are lots of characters, puzzles and opportunities to collect LEGO chips. It will take a while to complete this game and finding all the secret items and characters is no easy task. This game proved to be a hit with the whole family. Mom and Dad took their turn as well which made this a refreshing change since there are so few games that appeal across generations.
