Lego Lord of the Rings was the first Lego game to include voice lines taken from the movies themselves, alongside its score - which may be the cause of licensing issues. A bizarre and frustrating decision for fans left with only two thirds of the story. But it was left incomplete - the final film in The Hobbit's trilogy planned as DLC that inexplicably never saw light of day. It remains one of Lego's best open worlds.Īnd Lego Hobbit was pretty great, too - it included mining and crafting gameplay I haven't seen in another Lego game since, and offered up yet more of Middle-earth to explore. It's a shame, because Lego Lord of the Rings in particular is brilliant - a love letter to Middle-earth and Peter Jackson's original movie trilogy. The games disappeared from Steam, PlayStation and Xbox stores on or around 1st January - suggesting some kind of licensing restriction ran out at the ent of last year.
