This game sucks. I got it and i beat it on the same day in about 3 hours. It is to easy, I like HARD HARD HARD!!!! games like Fire Emblem. It is not worth $20.00!

Great Game!

The Hobbit was a very fun game. It followed the events of the book, but was exciting and surprising as well. In my opinion, it was better than the book! It is one of my favorite Gameboy games and I'm glad I bought it. It was fun, had pretty good graphics and sounds, and I liked interacting with the characters. I liked the fact that the controls were pretty easy to get used to, but the game was still challenging. I got so addicted to it! At first I played it every day until my thumbs hurt and I took it with me on my six hour plane flight and I had fun the whole way! The Hobbit was a great addition to my collection of Gameboy Games. I recommend it to everyone! I had a blast playing it!

Great game!

I've been wanting to purchase this game for awhile and I'm so glad I did. I'm a long time Tolkien fan and have enjoyed the "Two Towers" and "Return of the King" GBA games by Electronic Arts. I wasn't sure what to expect from "The Hobbit" but I've been hooked on the game since.

The gameplay - to put it simply - a cross between the book and the Zelda games. If you're familiar with any of the "Legend of Zelda" games, then you'll know what I mean. The gameplay pretty much follows the plot of the book - you meet the dwarves and Gandalf in the beginning, accompany them in their adventures and have to fight some creatures or 'bosses' before the big showdown in the end. Bilbo meets the trolls, Elrond in Rivendell, Gollum, and so on. I love how well the plot, locations and characters are brought to life in this game and I'm even more pleased because it does feel a lot like playing a "Zelda"-like RPG game (which just happens to be one of my favorite GBA titles).

I liked the Electronic Arts LOTR games but those and this are quite different. The visuals are different and in "The Hobbit" you actually are given various 'tasks' to accomplish before you can move on to the next location in Middle Earth. In short, sometimes you come across some characters who ask you to do some things for them and you get a 'prize' in return. Sometimes you have to figure out your way out of places as other characters may give you clues. Bilbo is also very agile little guy - as hobbits usually are. He can climb up rocks and vines, jump over small gaps, go down holes and even do some cute little somersaults. His 'prizes' also increase his wealth or health, or can be special weapons or tools. Killing 'bosses' is not that difficult - it's figuring out how to get out of a sticky situation that can be more of the challenge.

If you enjoyed Zelda, then you'll like this. And, of course, if you're anywhere near as avid a Tolkien fan as I am, then you will love this one. It would definitely be fun for kids and adults alike.

Good game

Follows the book somewhat, but was a good game overall. If you are looking for a good adventure game that doesn't take 100+ hours to beat, this is a good choice.
