It's so sad that so many game developers latch on to movie licenses and are content with putting out such terrible games...The Hobbit is another in a long line of bad games that have in some way, been linked to a movie franchise. To make matters worse, they sell thousands, sometimes millions, of copies, simply because of the lucrative movie license...I mean, it's Lord of the Rings we're talking about here...many will buy it just to add to their collection of all things LotR...but what a waste of money...game developers like these should be made to feel the burn somehow...
The one's I'm really sorry for are those that will go out and buy this game expecting something at least halfway decent...hopefully they'll at least read a couple reviews before deciding whether to still spend the cash on it.
Simply put, don't waste your time on this one. Move along.
