thrills and excitement they witnessed in the award-winning film
series. Whether longtime fans, or newcomers to the The Lord of
the Rings saga, family members of all ages will undoubtedly
enjoy the humorous, playful touch that TT Games has imparted

truly remarkable adventure that is more epic than any they’ve
experienced before in a LEGO game,” said Tom Stone, Managing
Director, TT Games. “The game has a wonderful cast of
characters, dramatic battles, and amazing locations, all of
which bring The Lord of the Rings story to life in a uniquely
LEGO way that the entire family will enjoy together.”
LEGO The Lord of the Rings marks the first time younger gamers

experience Middle-earth with the humor and imagination of LEGO
gameplay. Players will take on the form of their favorite
members of the Fellowship – Frodo the Hobbit, Aragorn the
