Much like Peter Jackson was pulled back in to do The Hobbit, so to am I, although unlike Mr. Jackson, I wasn’t forced on borderline blackmail, so that’s nice, I suppose. LEGO The Hobbit continues the LEGO tradition of adapting recent movies, and very much follows in the footsteps of, and copies most of the homework of, its predecessor, LEGO The Lord of the Rings. LEGO The Hobbit adapts both the first and second movies, An Unexpected Journey and the Desolation of Smaug- you may be wondering about the Battle of Five Armies, the third movie, and honestly, same. The game released in mid 2014, a bit after The Desolation of Smaug, but before The Battle of Five Armies, and I guess Warner Bros. didn’t want to spoil a uh, 80 year old book. On release, Five Armies was announced as DLC, but the plans were dropped for vague reasons, and Warner Bros. rights to make the game would eventually expire. I largely suspect that the core audience for these games skewed too young, honestly, that getting 15 or 20 dollars out of them for the levels would be too difficult to recuperate the losses, and that it was seen as best to just move on to the next LEGO game. LEGO The Hobbit is the first of these games to feel very obviously made for the 7th generation consoles, with lots of polish and graphics that are an obvious notch above, although as with all of these games, it came to the prior gen stuff too, releasing on Playstation 3, 4, and the Vita, Xbox 360 and One, the Switch, and PC, with a paired down version on the 3DS.
