The Visuals are decent, but shadows and ugly textures tend to get in the way of the experience. The gameplay is boring and ported from the 3DS. Unfortunately, LEGO: Lord of the Rings just ends up being another hole in your wallet.

#LEGO LORD OF THE RINGS PS3 SERIES#
Overall, a great buy for any fan of the LoTR series or Lego games in general. I haven't run into any bugs or game-breaking glitches, the game plays smoothly with no hiccups on the Vita. My only real critiques would be that the in-game cutscenes quality is not as great as I was expecting, the videos look like they had to be compressed or were carried over from the 3DS version. The humor is great fun and done well, not to mention the voice acting is SUPERB. The pacing is great, although the game seems a little short (story-wise, there are a TON of collectibles and extras to unlock). The small inclusion of touch-screen controls works well to switch free play/super-free play characters and doesn't impede the gameplay (it feels natural). The controls are awesome, intuitive and easy to handle. Let me list some positives the in-game graphics look great, just as clean as they do on the console version. I tried the Star Wars Lego games and never seemed to get that into them, so maybe my obsession with LoTR blinds me slightly but I am greatly enjoying the game on Vita.
