But anyone who doesn't like collecting loot should avoid this game at all costs, and the main game feels cheap. Wandering the open world was a lot of fun, despite glitches, and I do love the LOTR universe. Anyway, despite the bitter taste of a half completed game, and a bitter taste that the final third of this game will never be released I can still give a half hearted recommendation for this game when it's on sale. There are many oddities like this that made the experience frustrating. Another is how when one character speaks to someone, the other can not view the map. One small example, being how when unlocking a new person you would be 'greeted' with all the characters being displayed on the screen for about 20 seconds with no possibility to remove them. I only play Lego games because of the CO-OP, with my wife :-), but even she was getting frustrated by some of the bugs, quicks and oddities this game offered. Some of the quests seemed impossible, and much time was spent wasted trying to solbe something to only find out (after searching online) that I had encountered a bug and must set my resolution, vsync, graphics settings etc to something else to try to solve it. Characters getting impossibly stuck, crashes to windows (that I also had with Lego LOTR and Lego Harry Potter but never have with other games, my system is stable). Another serious issue is the large amounts of bugs that were found during the 6 hours of main mission. It's a fraction of the story, and will never be finished. Selling this game as 'the hobbit' is a lie. Six hours of playing and the game is over, finishing at the end of the second movie. It feels like bad game design, as many places you would have had to walk though (in the book and film) you don't get to see or explore until you go off Piste (and that is normally after you have completed the game already.) This wouldn't be so shameful if the main story was solid. It's unfortunate that as you play through the Single campaign, this open map is hardly used with levels teleporting you to the next section, skipping over the wonderful detail of the game.

The open world is fantastic, taking a lot of guidance from Lego LOTR, it's a fully realised LEGO map of everything relevant to the Hobbit. 60% PCLego the hobbit plays like every other LEGO game before it, and the franchise feels ever more like a cash cow that's being whipped until there is nothing less to bleed from it.
