5.0 out of 5 stars Great Hand-Held Adventure for LOTR Fans, January 29, 2004

This review is from: The Hobbit (Video Game)

Are you a fan of the Lord of the Rings series? Then you definitely need to pick up The Hobbit, to learn how Bilbo found that magical ring.

As you might expect, The Hobbit is set in Middle Earth and involves Bilbo the quiet, country hobbit getting dragged into an adventure by that meddling wizard, Gandalf. Before he realizes it, he's off to help a band of strange dwarves save their treasure from the cruel dragon Smaug.

There's the usual mix of strange mindless quests and puzzles. You fetch medicine, carry messages, and give assistance. But it never gets tedious - you're always learning something new about your abilities and stretching your brain to figure out how to get through a puzzle.

The game is nice in its pathway. You don't waste hours trying to roam the entire map figuring out what to do next. It's usually fairly obvious which WAY to go next, but it's up to you to figure out how to get there. For people who haven't read the hobbit, it's a good way to get a background on who Bilbo is, how the ring was found and what the world was like in the years before the Lord of the Rings series.

The graphics are reasonably OK for a GBA - I did have to complain about the pink insides of the hobbit homes! But still you usually can figure out what everything on the screen is pretty easily.

Not really a game with high replayability, but with Tolkein being so popular right now, you should find it easy to find some friends to trade it with when you're done!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the handheld Tolkien's, December 8, 2003

This review is from: The Hobbit (Video Game)

Two Towers was a fun hack n slash, and the original LOTR game by Vivendi for the GBA left alot to be desired. However one thing it achieved possibly too well was the breadth of Tolkien's universe. This game manages to capture the essence of its wonderful source material, with all of the action and dialogue taken directly from the novel. Some of this can feel rushed particularly Gollum's first appearance, this is why I am taking a star off. Gameplay wise this is a terrific Zelda clone with all sorts of goodies, weapons and hidden areas. The game makes full use of the GBA and its buttons with a fair amount of the action relegated to the left shoulder button if you desire (weapons etc.) The save system is another reason I am giving this four stars (isolated save books), otherwise this is a great game that captures the flair of the writing which inspired it.

Great graphics, can use items like three different types of walking stick, the Ring, Sting, throwing rocks, firecrackers, and many more. Has lines straight out of the books. A good action, adventure, stealth game makes it an instant classic as fun as Return of the King for GBA.
