Video Game Reviews of The Hobbit
Customer Review: The Hobbit
Summary: 4 Stars
'The Hobbit' is a fun game to play for the Xbox. Though the game looks like it is meant more for kids, it is actually meant for all audiences to play because it isn't that easy: though not really too challenging either. Due to excellent cut-scenes and areas (levels) from the game that are read about in the book, the story line alomost relates perfectly to J.R.R. Tolkien's story masterpiece. The graphics, which is much like 'The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker', are great! The beautiful lush and gloomy environments that are presented in this game offer a brilliant view of Middle-earth. Most of the characters in 'The Hobbit' look as is described in the book. However character detail should have been done a little better graphic wise. The sound fx are well done. The music score sounds exceptable and goes along great with this game. The controls are easy to deal with and the learning curve is about a half hour. The gameplay is descent at best. There is a lot of puzzle solving, dangerous obstacles to go through, and fighting to do in 'The Hobbit' which makes it very strategic. There are only two things I disslike about this game: the camera angles and combat system. I have noticed that in some points of the game that the camera angle will get way out of place which causes me to mess up. Fighting enemies is fun, but not when you are fighting more than one enemy at a time. The game allows you to lock on to one enemy at a time while fighting. Sure it helps when you are fighting one enemy but it doesn't really help when you are fighting multiple goblins, spiders, wolves, etc. at one time. And the fact you can't block any enemy attacks down grades the combat system a bit more. But, don't get me wrong, it is still very fun and addictive to kill enemies. On the whole 'The Hobbit' is a very fun video game for the Xbox. Whether or not you are a die hard fan of Tolkien I think everyone who loves action/adventure games for the Xbox aught to give 'The Hobbit' a try.
The following is based on my own opinion:
Graphics: 4.8/5.0
Sound: 5.0/5.0
Story: 4.9/5.0
Gameplay: 4.2/5.0
Value: 4.6/5.0
Overall Score: 4.7/5.0
Description of The Hobbit
Bilbo Baggins: Son of the quite sensible, responsible Bungo Baggins and the remarkable, adventurous Belladonna Took, Bilbo Baggins is a Hobbit who very much wants to live his life in peaceand comfort, much like his father lived his own life before him. But will the Took in his blood let Bilbo live the quiet life? Hobbits are short of stature with oversized, leathery feet, which are covered in thick bushy hair. Bilbo has a kind, simple demeanor, is in his middle years, and from theAll Games
