The Hobbit Video Game Review
The Hobbit video game follows the adventures of Bilbo Baggins. The game is similar to the book because it follows the story and Bilbo and the dwarves travel to all the different places in the book, but it is full of extra creatures, levels and items to make it more interesting to play.
You don’t always know what will happen next even if you’ve read the book. The game allows you to buy items with money you collect. You can also collect crystals which boost your skills as you progress in the game. This is the same as Bilbo becoming a more confident person in the book as the group faces more challenges.
The game has lots of extra quests and tasks which gain you more experience and help you advance further into the game. Between each level there are little videos which fill in the areas that are in the book which have been left out of the game.
The graphics are good and are cartoon-like in appearance, but are suitable for the game’s younger audience. The sound is clear and realistic, but more sounds could have been added to enhance the game.
I think it is a good game, especially for younger children (7 – 12 years) because it is simple to play and is enjoyable, with nothing too scary.
