Vita review:
Another LEGO handheld game that I think benefits from being completely different to its non-portable-console alternatives; the levels are super short with many challenges asking you to finish them in under 90 seconds. The presentation is decent and Howard Shore’s typical bangers from Middle-Earth are present, but as per with these handheld ports, the audio is compressed to hell (a necessary evil to get the game under a certain size, I guess).
There seems to be no way to track what quests you’ve completed/handed in, and the addition of crafting and resources adds very little.
This is definitely one of the more kid-friendly LEGO tie-in experiences with limited gameplay that usually descends to mashing square, but you can do far worse thanks to the IP at use here and the innate joys that come with that world.
