These are dark days for Middle-earth. An ancient magical ring that threatens to destroy all that is good must be brought to Mount Doom — the only place where it can be destroyed. Trusted with this epic task, Frodo has been forced to leave his peaceful home. However, the road to Mount Doom is a perilous journey, so a fellowship has been formed to help Frodo on his journey. Join Frodo, 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 as they explore wonders, solve timeless riddles, overcome their foes, and try to destroy the ring. The fate of Middle-earth lies in your hands — will you make it to Mount Doom? From Frodo's humble home in The Shire to the orc-infested Mines of Moria and the enchanted forest of Lorien, LEGO The Lord of the Rings delivers all the magic, mystery and heart-pounding excitement of the world's best-loved story — re-imagined with the humor and endless variety of LEGO play. Explore the magical world of Middle-earth as you discover and unlock more than 60 playable characters. Collect and combine a variety of weaponry and magical items to help you on your journey and in your battles with the Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog, the Witch-king and other fearsome creatures. Use the power of the Palantir, or the Seeing-stone, to jump between multiple storylines, and invite friends and family to join the fellowship with drop-in, drop-out gameplay. It's time to relive the legend as only LEGO can.
