This video game is awsome! It has solid graphics and great gameplay. 'The Hobbit' is a prelude to 'The Lord of the Rings' which, I guess, is one of the reasons it is so cool. There is a lot of fighting, puzzle-solving, and adventuring to do in this game. 'The Hobbit' is not an easy game because it is very strategic and gets pretty hard at some points. Fans of Zelda, such as myself, will really enjoy playing 'The Hobbit' video game for the Sony PlayStation2.

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an awsome game and any person who knows a good viedo game knows they will love this. The graphics are tight and the music is catchy. The gameplay is really fun with lots of action and strategy involved.

Surprisingly good

When I first saw the graphics of The Hobbit I thought : "pf, just another kiddie game" - but then I played it myself and got hooked. Despite the colorful graphics it is more challenging than it looks like. Being a tough gamer myself and loving playing games like Hitman I must say The Hobbit was surprisingly good and for a change "not bloody". It is not as brutal and there is no blood or shooting; Bilbo has to fight spiders and ugly goblins thus making The Hobbit a relaxing game.But be aware: The Hobbit is not as easy as it might give you the impression! At times it is quite challenging and can be even frustrating. And there is a lot to do: exploring, solving riddles (you always find hints), fighting with a stick or the blue lighted Sting sword and throwing stones - (you get advanced tactics during gameplay making your hits stronger). What really makes it special is that you can use The Ring (I mean this is what the story is about, isn't it?) which you gain in a later level. The Ring makes you "invisible" to some creatures helping you to sneak past them. What is nice too is that there is no time limit to it (well of course there sometimes is e.g. opening those chests) so you can explore your surroundings. This to me was an extremely nice feature since Bilbo is small (he is a hobbit after all!) making some sceneries mostly impressive like the Dwarves'halls!
You have to cope with your tinyness here since some obstacles are huge! But there is always a way out and you will enjoy the victory of having made it. In fact some scenes kept me behind my PC for hours - I just couldn't stop until I finished them! I wouldn't exactly recommend it to younger kids under 10 since they might get frustrated when not being able to make their way but it is a hit for the older ones.
Get it and play it! Enjoy it! It is a nice challenging game that is good for your nerves as it is as I said not bloody - it is a great fantasy game!

This Game Rock's!!!!!!!

The best game in the LOTR series.Here are my pros & cons 4 this game.Even though it's more cartoon-like other than the real LOTR games.

pros:
-great graphix
-plenty of enemies to fight
-fun highly detailed levels to roam around freely in
-great mind-twisting puzzles to solve
-lots of missions in every level to keep you busy

cons:
-not much weapon choice.A sword,stick,and rocks.
-for some levels you have to stick to a strict map plan
-some missions seem nearly impossible to complete unless you go backwards through the level.

But overall...I give this game a 5 of 5.

Bilbo's the best!

This was the first PS2 game I've played so I can't compare it with many others, but I thought this game was wonderful! Originally bought for my 6 1/2 year old, I found some of the puzzles a bit too difficult in places for him to manage. This caused caused some frustration, but he loved it just the same.
I thought there was quite a lot of fighting for a game designed for kids, however, it wasn't at all gory or distressing. The graphics are marvellous and the strategy quite interesting.
Overall, a terrific game.

The Right Game For Me!

This is an excellent recreation of the Tokien classic, even if you go to the Lord of the Rings movies just to say " Thats not how it happened in the book". This game has excellent graphics, gameplay , and music. I highly recomend it, so please despite the cartoony graphics that many think make it look childish, at least rent it i think you will enjoy it.

The Hobbit------enjoying, fun,

I think the Hobbit is a fun game, good for children six and up. This is a good game if you're looking for adventure. This game is not about action but adventure. If you like "The Hobbit" the book, then you will like this game. It does skip at least one or two chapters. It has a good deal of puzzles and sneaking. The Hobbit is a good game for children, and I am sure adults will like it too.
