The black rider lego lord of the rings
Once they are both down, a final set of three orcs show up. Use a charged attack to knock them down then finish them off. More orcs will pour down from the background, so keep fighting until two orcs equipped with shields show up. Mordor bricks can only be destroyed Sauron or any character equipped with the Narsil/Aduril sword.įortunately, we just so happen to have such a sword, so follow the on-screen instructions and destroy the Mordor bricks on both sides. Follow the on-screen instructions and block the arrows until the screen starts to shake, revealing weak points in the form of Mordor bricks. After the last orc falls, two orcs with bows and arrows show up to the party and begin firing arrows at you. Take them all out while dodging the falling boulders. You must complete all the stages eventually, but it’s nice to be given some choice and not be forced into the same route as the films.When the level first starts, orcs will charge down the hill at you in droves. At frequent intervals you’re allowed to choose which team you want to play as next, be it Aragorn’s group or Frodo and co. I was impressed with the way that the game handles the early breaking up of the Fellowship. The big battles are handled particularly well though, the huge numbers of orcs onscreen at once as you ride into battle on horseback as Eowyn at Minas Tirith is the biggest scale of action ever seen in a Lego title and was just what the game needed at that point. Stages like this usually go on too long, which will test your patience. Take following Gollum through the marshes, every path he takes suddenly bursts into flames, requiring you to backtrack to find yet another bucket of water. Other stages are just filled with elements to drag them out. Some stages that require stealth, like evading the Black rider on the way to Bree or escaping a demented Boromir. Can you imagine the backlash? After fending off an area’s enemies you go through your usual Lego game routine of smash everything to look for something to build to allow you to progress. Only kidding, you totally get to slide down a Mumakill trunk. With any changes appearing to come from a team that smashed the original template, then got scared and quickly stuck it back together to get something as close to possible as what they started with.Įveryone has a sword or equally damaging punches to take on orcs, Uruk-hai, trolls, wargs, Ring-Wraths, but no Mumakill. The template for the game remains almost the same as ever. Gollum steals the show though, despite the simple on his Lego face, TT have nailed the evil playfulness dancing around his eyes and hissing through his pointed teeth.

I loved seeing the Uruk-hai being born from a washing machine instead of the slimy holes in the movie too. Frodo drops the One Ring in his brew seconds after receiving it, the Riders of Rohan’s introduction sees them doing a horse dressage circle around Aragorn and co, Gimli primes his axe like a shotgun and Boromir’s Uruk foe preps a chicken to fire from his bow. Most of the humour involves characters messing around while someone else recites lines from the movie. So don’t expect Sam’s mancrush on Frodo to get any airtime. Let’s face it, there are plenty of laughs to be had at the movie’s expense -albeit respectfully, as per Traveller’s Tales track record. It feels like something of a backwards step. The dialogue is straight-faced serious throughout and the only humorous moments are rooted in physical comedy. With so much authenticity though, there’s almost no room for a sense of humour, the backbone of the Lego games’ cutscenes. Along with the familiar music and nicely replicated levels, it should satisfy most fans of the films with ease. LOTR goes one step further by using the original voices from the movies.
