      What was even funny in the first please??!
      It seems that everyone just uses it poorly now

    • Thraximundar

      what, lol? yeah, that really just means “i am starting a sentence” or “i am finishing a sentence and have nothing left to say” nowadays. sad, isn’t it?

    • mike

      Your existence is shovelware.

    YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!!!

  • Example:Nintendo3DS

    So many lego games have come out lately, that I’ve only been buying Star Wars, but I may just have to get this.

    • Ollie

      I don’t know if you have Lego Star Wars 3 for the 3DS. If you do, can we agree that the character customisation in the game is the worst of any Lego game? I can’t be the only one to notice this.

    • Example:Nintendo3DS

      Yes I got it for the 3DS. And yes, I completely agree with you. I’ve played Batman, Indiana Jones 1 and 2, star wars 1, 2 and 3, and a little Harry Potter. I agree, the customization was so…limited.

  • KING Z

    Holy Shit! Didnt See This Coming

  • JOSHUA

    Finally after so many lego games i thought they forget about making a lotr game.

  • Beat

    Frodo doesn’t look the same without those startling blue eyes of elijah wood.

  • sebastian

    Well, I was watching some walkthroughs of Lord of the Rings War in the North today, and thinking it would be cool to get some Middle-Earth action in the 3ds, however I wasn’t expecting to be a Lego game. =/
    Now I’m sad, really sad.

  • Ty

    Yay! They announced another Lego game for the 3DS which will likely be just as mediocre and watered down as the last few!- Pirates was alright though.

    Seriously, WTF TT Games? The portable Lego games used to be good- namely the PSP ones up to Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga DS. They used to have multiplayer, good graphics, and be pretty much the same as the home console versions.

    I mean, all of the Lego games for 3DS have just been better looking versions of the DS games. Same with the Vita. The 3DS and Vita are both more capable than that- hell, the PSP is too- it used to run the same thing as the consoles.

    I refuse to buy the console versions though, because I find the multiplayer works better on portables (WHEN IT’S INCLUDED) and the games are just a lot more fun to play on the go.

    I could go on, but eh. Rant over.

    • Carlinhos

      I agree with you up to a point. I’m really disappointed that lego batman 2 for 3ds isn’t open-world as its console counterparts.

  • Bigpete849

    Oh my god, voice-acting in a Lego game. It really is 2012.

  • Robert

    helllllllll yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • person

    Never played a Lego game…but with the voice acting I may actually try this one out.

  • Emurus

    They… Talk…

    ???

  • cotton

    Legos are ok but i love lotr im getting this definately

  • cotton

    Also hope they have hobbit movie in it

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Calman102 Calman102

    Is it using the exact voices from the movie and animating the Lego to them? Because that would be good! (and cheap)

    • duncan

      I would rather have the voices from the movies than mediocre voice actors that don’t even sound like the people from the movies.

    • person

      I don’t even remember their voices…who cares…lol It’s not like those movies are the first ones ever made.

  • GamingFan99

    WHOA!

    the only 3ds game i ever bought and probably will ever buy again, with my money at least, was lego starwars. i hate to say it, but it took forever to beat that game. but, becuz i really couldnt stay awake to try and beat it. the game just made me sleepy. this is really no joke, though. i dont get how lego games sell.

  • Lizzie1238

    Whoa, voice acting?!

    And that does not look like Frodo. But seems pretty cool.

    • Andy

      There’s gonna be voice acting in Lego Batman 2 last I checked; so it’s not like it’s anything new with this game.

  • waluigi

    can we just have a big lego crossover.
    lego star wars vs DC vs Marvel vs harry potter vs indy vs lord of the rings vs pirates of the caribbean vs rock band

  • HeroSparr

    LMAO! What was that?? I’ve never been into the Lego/… series before but this one may be the first I try…lol.

  • Thraximundar

    wow. i know it’s lego, but that is one hell of a ring. It’s more like a bracelet, really.

  • Mike

    No Wii U :(

  • MadCrain

    Coool, they’re now incorporating voice acting in all the Lego series :D

  • Matthew

    Oh man… They have 2 HP Lego games and now a LOTR game! Awesome! But it will take me forever to catch up on this…

  • Taylor

    Lego Frodo has a mustache and a tiny smile. You can’t unsee it.

    • person

      lol, cleaver thinking.

  • Diakia1044

    One does not simply, make a Lord of the Rings game without putting it on 3DS. XD

  • Exlon

    This is so goofy, but if the 3DS version isn’t junky then I might try it. XD

  • Virginia
