LEGO Lord of the Rings abilities detailed
Arriving sometime this Autumn, TT Games is bringing humor and fun to Middle Earth in true LEGO fashion. Spanning the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, players will control 80+ characters on the way to Mount Doom to destroy the infamous ring. You’ll also jump in between storylines by using the Palantir (Seeing stone).
