LEGO The Lord of the Rings Debut Trailer Has a Cave Troll
Written Friday, June 01, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Now here's a first for a LEGO game, as far as we know: talking characters. In LEGO The Lord of the Rings, there'll be a cast of chatty characters all based upon their movie counterparts, with events taken from the popular motion picture trilogy.

In this debut trailer, we get to see the plastic brick rendition of Gandalf fending off the Balrog as the Fellowship makes its escape from the Mines of Moria. LEGO Lord of the Rings will take you from LEGO Hobbiton all the way to the LEGO Black Gate in Mordor on your quest to destroy the LEGO ring of power in the LEGO fires of LEGO Mount Doom.

You'll get to play as LEGO versions of the LOTR cast, including Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, Gimli, Boromir, Sam, Merry, Pippin and others, when LEGO The Lord of the Rings releases in autumn 2012. Check out the debut trailer for a first look at LEGO Lord of the Rings.

@1 yeah they do, i guess its standard in lego games from now on, and was that sound taken from that scene in the film cause it sounded just like it.

I think Randall from Clerks described TLOR the best, regardless my GF loves LEGO games and we co-op these together,I will be getting this. I appreciate the comedy and I am lost as to why they talk now,thought the mumbling,miming was a unique quirk they all shared.

looks awesome, but is this to be more of a serious-themed game? i think it will be a great game, and an interesting new direction for the series....however i am a little worried that Traveller's Tales may lose some of their trademark humor in this one. Still, a day one purchase for me!

Well at least all dialogue is taking directly from the films it seems, which then makes it more bearable. At least they're still adding some humor to the scenes!

I do like the idea of talking lego, but of the games I've played (I've missed the Batmans and Harry Potters), half the humour comes from the silent CGI moments. I fell in love with the LEGO game franchise when I saw Darth Maul's lightsaber 'bounce' as he went to fight Kenobi and Qui-Gonn. Other special moments aside, LEGO characters don't talk!
Looking forward to this immensely. Not playing them doesn't mean I don't currently own all of them :)

Maybe they'll include an option to either have the mumbling or actual talking. One can only hope. If that were the case I would probably play it through first with the mumbling, then with the talking. This probably won't happen but I'm getting this awesomeness regardless

No like the talking but do like the look of the game. Seems to be their target audience is getting older, I dont mind but we like silent humour also.

Sounds good. But I don't see how they could have the humor like in all the other ones, since this is more of a serious story

@9, lego games are based off lego sets that sell in stores. there are no twilight legos. so that also knocks out MMPR and TMNT

I'm not a fan of the talking, but I'll live with it. The game should be great asides from that. I've loved every Lego game so far and couldn't wait for a Lego LOTR once I heard they were making LOTR Lego sets.

Disappointed to see/hear the voice acting. A lot of the charm from the original LEGO games came from watching the scenes play out in. Will probably pass on it now...

I agree with some of the others here, the mumbling and silent humor in the LEGO games is part of what made the cutscenes entertaining to watch. Hopefully that was just for purposes of the trailer, but I'll probably pick this up regardless. LEGO games are always fun.

I hope its the full trilogy in this game. Also it would be slightly more comical if Gandalf mumbled that phrase lol

@48 Lego James Bond would be kick ass
I think this looks so cute!!
and they couldn't make a Lego Twilight there wouldn't be a plot except romance. If they were going to do that they should just make a Lego Hunger Games because that has more of a plot then twilight does.

@28 totally agree. TMNT & Power Rangers would be awesome as LEGO games, though Power Rangers should be more Gokaiger ( or whatever they call the Power Rangers version ) rather than just MMPR. Unfortunately, Saban chose LEGO's bastard cousin Mega Blocks so it's pretty impossible ( as is LEGO Halo )

LEGO Batman 2 AND LEGO LotR in the same year? Epic win!
