"The Hobbit is a fine place to start for younger gamers. In that respect, the puzzles, side quests and overall presentation are just about right." -Yahoo! Video Games

"It straddles the line between little kid game and hard platformer in such a way that I don’t think anyone will like it. I guess The Hobbit makes these strange concessions to game-play to make it a friendlier game, but it’s still frustrating as hell." -Game Revolution

75.00%

"The Hobbit is a well-made adventure game that will absolutely provide a good amount of entertainment and satisfaction for those seeking it. But at the same time the title falls a little short thanks to a general lack of polish and overall difficulty." -IGN

"The younger crowds and Tolkien fanatics will find a lot to like here, but veteran gamers may feel as if they're in all too familiar territory." -GameSpy

"The story still stands up, but the game that has been wrapped around it simply cannot keep up its end of the bargain." -GameSpot

"The Hobbit isn't a failure as a game... it's just not very engaging, no matter how familiar you are with the source material." -1UP
