The port is certainly serviceable, and the game looks great in higher resolutions, but it also lacks many graphical settings that you would expect from any PC game on the market today.
If you have played any PC version of a LEGO game recently, you pretty much know what to expect when it comes to LEGO Lord of the Rings. I certainly appreciate the developer's constant attempts to improve LEGO games, but I worry that at some point they are losing what truly makes these games unique and interesting. the side missions manage to push the number of things to do in the game beyond the level that I am willing to deal with in something that is so simple to start with. The semi-open world that the game makes use of is certainly functional, but isn't really all that interesting. When it comes to the world LEGO Lord of the Rings takes place in, every setting feels like you would expect it to if you are a Lord of the Rings fan, while managing to add that comedic tinge to the world that Traveller's Tales is so well known for. This effect works far better than I could have ever expected by using the contrast between the exaggerated LEGO animations and the real-life voices for comedic effect. LEGO Lord of the Rings puts its own twist on the voices, simply pulling the voices directly from the Lord of the Rings films and placing them in the game.
The game borrows heavily from Traveller's Tales most recent title, LEGO Batman 2, incorporating both the somewhat open world and the fact that the characters talk instead of just emote using noises like older LEGO games. Their latest title brings a new franchise into the fold with LEGO Lord of the Rings, and they have tried once again to redesign their games, but does LEGO Lord of the Rings manage to succeed? As time has gone on, they have struggled to keep the style of games fresh, even though the games continue to sell very well. Since the original LEGO Star Wars was released to critical acclaim and commercial success, Traveller's Tales has slowly been slowly making games out of practically every license that LEGO has the rights to, from Harry Potter to Batman.
