The Lego games cop a lot of flak for being formulaic, and sure, sometimes they're repetitive. You smash rubble so you can hold down a button to reshape it into a ladder to the next area, where you fight three dudes then start looking for more smashable rubble. But the games built around that loop have evolved over the years, and sometimes one will come along and push the whole series of licensed-properties-as-digital-plastic-bricks forward.
It was the first in the series to use dialogue from the source material, for one thing. While the earliest Lego games were silent pantomimes, which suited the Star Wars prequels'"look out, Count Dooku's behind you!" plotting perfectly, retelling the stories of Indiana Jones and Harry Potter in mime was more confusing.
The other big new thing Lord of the Rings introduced to the series was a full-sized open world. Traditionally you'd get a hub between levels, somewhere like Mos Eisley cantina or Diagon Alley, and in Lego Batman 2 an entire miniaturized Gotham. Lego Lord of the Rings plonked its levels down across a map of Middle-earth. Between levels you can poke around it, and after you've finished story mode the whole thing's unlocked, complete with sidequests and puzzles and minigames.
This Middle-earth feels like it's been reconstructed on a bedroom floor, an open-world that's manageably sized because it's designed for children rather than unemployed adults—surely the only human beings with enough spare time to 100% any modern RPG.
