Wow, you can get behind Lego but not behind a symbolically rich treasure of literature?
I don't get it but I can't hold against you your upbringing in this strange new world of ours.
The game does look pretty sweet though.

I cannot begin to explain how badly I crave this game. I adore the works of Tolkien and I've yet to find a game that can truly do the work any justice. I think this is going to be the one, though. Somehow the lighthearted world of LEGO seems to fit it perfectly. Can't wait!

@Deazul: I can get behind the fact that it *is* a symbolically rich piece of literature. I don't treasure it, though. Doesn't matter how detailed your world is or emotionally deep your characters are if I have no interest in the setting. It's the sort of thing I'll give my children to read and say, "maybe you'll dig this."
Any time someone has asked "What property should get the LEGO Treatment next?" The Lord of the Rings has been my answer. It fits so well for the LEGO formula, including
1) It's a Trilogy, and most LEGO games have 3 parts/chapters/movies.
2) It has different kinds of Characters. Star Wars had Jedi, Droid, Bounty Hunter, child, Sith, etc. LotR has Human, Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit, Wizard, etc each with their own special access to areas in a level.

I just want to play a video game as Samwise Gamgee.

game looks incredible. Although to be honest, if it wasn't lego, it would be better. They are clearly recreating all the scenes from the movies, which is what a movie game should do.

@Moblin88: Well, there's the thing. If they were trying to immaculately recreate the actual scenes, everyone would notice if and when they slip. By taking in down to the notch of LEGO, they can spin their own visual style to the mythos and not have to really worry about being 100% faithful.
In our heads (as the players), we react to the nostalgia better when we can have the visual in our heads rather than having to witness it.

Lego games are fantastic. They are games that work as well for children as for adults, which are a very rare thing.
Its like the pixar of games.

You guys should try the book adaptations. They're great. There are some expanded universe books as well, but I'm not sure you guys would like it though.
If you fail to appreciate Lord of the rings then surely you are the wrong person to be writing this feature.
