The other downside is the lack of mutliplayer.
These systems never do justice to the original joypad controls, but neither set-up spoils the fun. Both do the job, though tapping on enemies to attack does make it difficult to see who's hitting who, especially on the smaller iPhone screen. You have the choice of either a floating stick and buttons, or a 'casual' tap and swipe system.
LEGO LORD OF RINGS ONLINE GAMES SERIES
Luckily, hearing Ian McKellen's sombre delivery doesn't detract from the physical humour which is baked into every cutscene.Īs is always the case with the iOS conversions of LEGO games, the controls are where the series reveals its console roots. This time out, spoken dialogue pulled directly from the films replaces the tinyfig's trademark grunts and murmurs. Gandalf, meanwhile, can work his magical mojo on highlighted objects, which behaves a lot like the force powers in LEGO Star Wars. Merry can use a fishing rod to pull items from rivers or wells. Sam can plant flowers and start fires, while Legolas can target distant objects with his bow. The key to getting through each stage is switching between party members and utilising their individual skills. Over the course of Lego The Lord of the Rings' 18 stages, you'll take charge of Frodo, Samwise, Gandalf, Legolas, and numerous other characters from the story. The result is a game that provides a slick and entertaining interactive abridgement of the Lord of the Rings movies, even if the gameplay itself is a little overly familiar.
It was only a matter of time, then, before developer Traveller's Tales turned its attention to that most famous of literary friendships, Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring. The LEGO games are, and always have been, about teamwork - friends coming together to assemble contraptions, collect shiny studs, and dismantle evil one brick at a time.
