The Hobbit PS2 Game - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When the movies came out, video games were sure to follow. Somehow it was decided that it would be split up - some games based on the movies, some games based on the books. The Hobbit wasn't a movie of course, so it was made to follow the book (just as The Fellowship of the Ring game did, made by the same folks). The Hobbit game came out for Nintendo's GameCube exclusively (to begin with). The PS2, X-Box, and PC versions were released later (last fall/early winter). As I recall, the book-based Fellowship of the Ring came out alongside the movie-based Two Towers. The book-based Hobbit came out (except for the earlier GameCube version) alongside the movie-based Return of the King.

Coincidentally, this is kind of how the animated films came out in the '70s.
