Riverside, California (NAPSI) - Parents eager to introduce their children to the epic “The Lord of the Rings” lore may get some help from the recently released LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ videogame, which showcases the saga in a lighthearted, fun and humorous way.
The Legend
Trusted with the dangerous task of destroying an ancient magical ring that threatens all that is good, Frodo is forced to leave his peaceful home. But the ring wants to be found and the road toMountDoom, the only place where it can be destroyed, will be perilous and riddled with Orcs and fouler things. To help Frodo, a Fellowship is formed—Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir a Man of Gondor, and Frodo’s Hobbit friends Sam, Merry and Pippin.
The Game
