LEGO The Lord of the Rings

We lost Star Wars III.... 5 yr olds...

But my son and I love Indiana and are playing the first Batman. Also, the Pirates one is a lot of fun and looks great too.

Holy crap.
Finally started this after giving up platinuming R&C 2 for a bit.

That opening act was outstanding.

This game, the lava in particular, is beautiful.

I miss these movies, probably gonna watch them this weekend.

Playing this on the Vita, and the graphics look good, but the areas are really small. There's a lot of load screens, and the voice over work, taken directly from the movie, doesn't fit well with the music/sound that's going on. Voice over work sounds grainy, or of poor quality most of the time for some reason, and there's only a couple of times that it really seems to fit in the Legos universe.

I played through the story mode and it was great. Plenty of funny animations throughout. The first one I really lol'ed at was when they meet the riders of Rohan at the beginning of Two Towers. I'm working on getting 100% completion now. I kept LEGO Star Wars and plan on keeping this one as well.

One negative thing I have to say, and this is nitpicking, but the camera angle can be really screwy in some areas when trying to get some collectibles. Coupled with that is I haven't figured out at what points or situation your character is in while in free play when you can't switch to a different character. What I mean is I might be climbing a tower with gollum and then need to use a bow. I'll hold down Y because I want to bring up the character wheel. I select a character and instead of changing gollum into Legolas, it changes whoever it is on the ground to Legolas. Before I can quickly switch back to gollum he's already jumped down from the tower. That can be frustrating sometimes. I don't know if that is a glitch or if you just can't switch characters a certain way in certain situations.
