The more courage crystals" Bilbo collects, the stronger he becomes.Įnemy innards are not the only places harbouring crystals. When Bilbo kills an enemy, instead of severed limbs, gushing blood and wails of agony, you're rewarded with a sparkling shower of crystals. With inoffensive gameplay along the lines of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and a nonthreatening cartoon style reminiscent of Zelda on the GameCube, The Hobbit is aimed squarely at pre-teens. This is because it's so sanitised, you can almost smell the disinfectant. Yet, The Hobbit will not appeal to every lover of the little people. Not too much to gripe about when it comes to content, then. All the best moments from the book are there, such as the bickering trolls, stealing' the ring from Gollum and of course, the final attack on Smaug. The PC version of events sticks to the script pretty faithfully and the upshot is a charmingly playable 3D action-adventure.
Set several years before Frodo's gruelling sojourn to Mordor, The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and a band of gold-obsessed dwarves as they venture into the heart of Lonely Mountain to swipe the dragon Smaug's gleaming hoard. Unlike the foreboding menace of Tolkien's earlier tale The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit is a brief, more lighthearted foray into the beardy literary marvel Middle Earth.
