Gameplay
The gameplay in The Lord of the Rings is slightly different than other LEGO games developed by TT Games. In the first sections, players move similarly to other games like LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, running, jumping, fighting, and tagging. Then new mechanics are added, such as jumping to avoid attacks (in a manner similar to Super Mario Galaxy) and slow movement and rolls when sneaking past Nazgûl. In addition, in between levels are open world spaces that players run through, and beginning with The Two Towers, a path of players can be chosen before a level (i.e. Frodo, Gollum and Sam on one adventure and Aragorn and the rest of the Fellowship on another. Players also control larger characters (with other characters "piloting" them, such as a cave troll or Treebeard).

Coming fall 2012 Based on The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy, LEGO® The Lord of the Rings follows the original storylines of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, taking players through the epic story events reimagined with the humor and endless variety of LEGO play. Trusted with the dangerous task to destroy an ancient magical ring that threatens all that is good, Frodo is forced to leave his peaceful home. But the ring wants to be found and the road to Mount Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed, will be perilous and riddled with Orcs and fouler things. To help Frodo, a Fellowship is formed — Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir a Man of Gondor, and Frodo’s Hobbit friends Sam, Merry and Pippin. Players relive the legend in LEGO form, as they explore wonders, solve timeless riddles, and overcome endless foes in their quest to destroy the Ring. LEGO® The Lord of the Rings complements the brand new, recently released LEGO® The Lord of the Rings toy collection, available summer 2012. GAME FEATURES: Wield the power of the Palantír or Seeing-stone (‘one that looks far-away’), and jump between multiple storylines. Experience the LEGO The Lord of the Rings heroes come to life in an all new way, as they deliver the dialogue from the films. Collect, combine and forge new items in the Blacksmith Shop using Mithril, the most precious metal in Middle-earth. Discover and unlock over more than 60 playable characters, including Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, and many others. Collect and use a variety of weaponry and magical items, including the Light of Earendil, Elven rope, swords, and bows. Play with family and friends with easy access drop-in, drop-out gameplay option. |
Movie/Game Differences
General
- Sam, Merry, and Pippin are never seen to have matches, a fishing rod, and a bucket respectively in the movie.
- Like the movie, Gollum is good at climbing, but in the game he can climb absurdly steep walls like Spider-Man can.
- Radagast only appeared in the Hobbit in the movie. Note that in the book he is mentioned only in the Council of Elrond.
The Fellowship of the Ring
- No orcs got in the way of Elrond and Isildur when they went to the Crack of Doom in the movie, but in the film, they do.
- Isildur's refusal to destroy The Ring is placed in the Prologue level while it appears in the movie as a flashback.
- In the game, Frodo accidentally drops The Ring into a mug that reveals the Elvish script.
- Sam eavesdrops the chimney instead of the window.
- The pipe that Aragorn smokes is replaced with a drink that has a straw in it in the game.
- The Hobbits eat drumsticks in the game while they wait for Gandalf instead of drinking pints.
- Merry's line "something for the road" is from the The Return of the King.
- In the game, Aragorn, Sam, Merry and Pippin follow Arwen as she tries to take Frodo to The Ringwraiths.
- Pippin never actually gets stuck in the well in the movie.
- Gandalf's battle with The Balrog from the beginning of The Two Towers is inserted near the end of the Mines of Moria level.
- Pippin eats an apple in the game while everyone mourns the loss of Gandalf.
- Boromir says "they have a cave troll" when he hears it. In the game he says it when he sees it, and Aragorn pulls a "stater of the obvious" face.
- Lurtz shoots Boromir with three arrows and fails to shoot his fourth, in the game however, he shoots him with an arrow, a broomstick, a banana and then fails to shoot him with a chicken. That is a reference to the movie Hot Shots: Part Deux.
- Gollum never watched Frodo and Sam sail in the movie.
The Two Towers
- In the movie, Grishnákh is the only orc that actually goes inside Fangorn Forest. In the game, he goes in and commands other orcs to kill Merry and Pippin.
- Wormtongue was never trapped in cages in Edoras in the movie
- Frodo, Sam and Gollum escaped Osgiliath days before the orcs arrived in the movie. In the game, they're there at the same time. In the book, however, they never even go to Osgiliath in the first place.
- Saruman is last seen when he is stabbed by Wormtongue and falls off of the top of Orthanc with the Palantir in the Extended Edition of The Return of the King (in the book he is killed by Wormtongue in The Shire). In the game, he kicks the Palantir from the balcony halfway up Orthanc.
- Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Théoden meet Merry and Pippin a few days after the flooding of Isengard in The Return of the King. The game follows the book that takes place immediately after.
The Return of the King
- Frodo goes inside of Shelob's lair alone where in the game Gollum goes in there with him.
- In the movie, Éowyn grabs Merry onto her horse. In the game, she grabs him onto a goat.
- In the game, after Gollum's first long fall (not the one at Mount Doom), that is when Frodo sees Sam and forgives him, while in the movie, it is after he saves Frodo from Cirith Ungol.
- Shagrat never helped Sam defeat Shelob in the movie. That is to make the game more co-op based.
- In the movie, Sam stabs Gorbag with Sting from behind while in the game he hits him with a frying pan, making Gorbag to hang onto his balance.
- Sam never gives The Ring to Frodo in the game after he rescues him. Instead, The Ring was found inside of Frodo's shirt.
- The Cirith Ungol level where Frodo and Sam making their way out of the tower is from the book while it was omitted from the movie.
- Gollum bites off Frodo's finger in the movie. However, Frodo gets his hand chewed in the game and later puts it back on.
- The secret ending plays more of a happy ending when Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Boromir, who appears as a ghost, join the remaining Hobbits to say goodbye as they watch the ship leave Middle Earth.
Notes

- The game features a new dynamic for a LEGO game, where the characters (Only members of the Fellowship of the Ring are confirmed) will be able to acquire new items/weapons as the story advances.
- LEGO Batman 2 showed a "coming soon" part for LEGO The Lord of The Rings video game.
