unlikely hero who ends up transporting a ring of great power into the realm of the enemy to see to its destruction. The big differences are that many parts of the game are made of destructible Legos, and it's suffused with the Lego franchise's signature brand of humor.</p><p>In GameSpot's 8.5/10 <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/lego-the-lord-of-the-rings-review/1900-6400417/">Lego The Lord of the Rings review</a>, Jason Venter wrote, "TT Games and Lego struck gold when they united for Lego Star Wars in 2005, and that rich vein is still yielding worthwhile results. Lego The Lord of the Rings is perhaps the finest treasure that the partnership has yet produced, a compelling mixture of cooperative gameplay, secrets galore, and a story that remains one of the most fantastic that Hollywood has ever captured on film. If you haven't given the Lego games a chance yet, there has never been a better time to start."</p><p>Grab your copy before the game goes back to regular price.</p>
