Lego the Hobbit Nintendo 3DS

LEGO The Hobbit for the Nintendo 3DS is a family-friendly, action-adventure game that follows the plot of the first two films in The Hobbit trilogy: An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug. 

Gameplay and Features

• Story & Levels: The game features 16 story levels (eight for each film) that follow Bilbo Baggins and the Company of Dwarves on their quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. The game uses actual dialogue and music directly from the movies.
• Characters & Abilities: Players can control numerous characters, including Bilbo, Gandalf, and all 13 Dwarves, each with unique tools and skills (e.g., specific weapons, mining with a pickaxe). A key feature is the ability for Dwarves to combine their abilities for "buddy fighting" and solving puzzles.
• Open World & Hub: The 3DS version incorporates a semi-open world hub that connects various iconic locations like Bag End, Rivendell, Mirkwood, and Lake-town. This allows for more exploration between the main story levels, a departure from some earlier, more linear handheld LEGO titles.
• Crafting System: A new feature for the game includes a resource-collection and crafting system. Players gather "LEGO Loot" (materials like wood, stone, and special Mithril ore) by defeating foes and breaking objects, which can then be used to forge new items or build large LEGO structures needed for progression.
• Visuals & Perspective: On the Nintendo 3DS, the game typically uses an isometric, top-down perspective. It utilizes the console's 3D functionality, though the 3D effect can be turned off, and the game runs just as well in 2D.
• Target Audience: The game is designed to be accessible and entertaining for both children and adults, featuring the classic LEGO charm and humor. It has an E10+ rating, primarily for mild cartoon violence
