Review

I played this a little back when it first came out, but I broke my brothers' copy by turning the Xbox 360 while the disc was spinning (whoops).

Finally picked up a copy for myself and the nostalgia was amazing. Playing through my favourite films in Lego format was a truly excellent way to spent my down time. The story levels were a good level of challenging and running around Middle-Earth collecting everything afterwards was a blast.

Unfornately I wasn't able to pursue getting 100% due to several levels glitching in both stroy mode and free play. I did buy the game second hand, so that might have been a factor, but there are plenty of people online with the same issues so I don't know. Knocked a star off for the glitches being annoying, but overall this was a great game.

My favourite achievement has to be "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard." Which has been stuck in my head ever since.
