10 Best LEGO Video Games - Ranked

9. LEGO The Hobbit

Lego The Hobbit
Traveller's Tales

While the Hobbit movies came under large amounts of scrutiny when it came to their overall quality and finish, the story transferred remarkably well into Lego. Considering how the movie was juggling with multiple storylines all vying for attention, the game managed to stay coherent to the plot of the book, never straying too far away from the timeline and giving a better depiction of its events than the trilogy.

The gameplay, whilst nearly identical to the vast majority of the other games, had its own additions with a heavy emphasis on the dwarves. Each one had its own unique ability, giving them more personality than the movie ever managed to.

Weirdly, one major problem is that it only covers the first two movies, ending before any of the truly exciting stuff happens. No killing Smaug and no battle of the five armies, resulting in what amounts to an incomplete game.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
