The game lets you visit two different areas of the map and work on separate things, which is nice. There were also a few occasions where I completed a quest, only to have the game not recognize it and making me redo the quest to complete it again.Ī minor issue I found too was while playing co-op with my wife. I could forgive these issues a little bit if they didn’t happen every single time they released a LEGO game. During my playthrough, I had the game freeze up completely over 6 times, with 3 of those coming at the same exact part of a level when I switched characters too fast. This is namely the glitches and freezes in the game. Now I mentioned earlier how there were some issues here in The Hobbit that sadly has been there for almost every LEGO game and hasn’t been fixed. Bricks can be collected throughout the game which allows you once purchased to unlock different cheats to use during your playthrough and like past LEGO games, you can also purchase multiple different characters to use during the game. This loot can be used during the levels to build a needed device or used at the Blacksmith to craft special weapons or items. Loot is something new to the series, as you collect boards, fish, stone, and much more. The world, which is bigger than you might expect for a LEGO game, allows you to travel all around it, performing quests for NPCs and collecting bricks and loot. Outside of the main story levels, which once beaten can be played in free play mode, there will be plenty for players to do throughout the world. Each dwarf has multiple weapons and abilities which helps spice up the gameplay a bit, giving you plenty of options throughout each level. All of these weapons will need to be used at some point throughout each level, whether you are weighing down something with the slingshot or knocking a boulder out of the way with the hammer. One of the dwarfs has a bow, one has a slingshot, and then one has a big hammer. This attack can be used at anytime during the level but comes in most handy when trying to break a wall or take down a large enemy.Īs you have so many possible choices during levels, the game actually provides you a reason to use most of the characters in your party. Stack up dwarf’s at certain areas of levels to reach higher places or buddy up with your teammate to perform a buddy attack. The game takes it a bit further than past titles however, as you have anywhere close to 8 characters on screen at once during some levels and you have some new coop elements to play with.

Cooperative play is the name of the game when it comes to the LEGO series and The Hobbit is no different.
