Lord of the Rings
Stern, 2003I am sure there have been topics on this before but I was wondering your thoughts on best theme integration.
I am in the process of watching Lord of the Rings with my two boys (4 and 7) and I really don’t think there is any theme integrated as well as LOTR. The call outs, music, modes. The game has always been great but after revisiting the movie the pin is even more impressive.
What do you think is the best theme integration?
William's IJ. From the music to the callouts, modes, art, etc. The pin is a seamless integration of the franchise, in my opinion.
Quoted from Daditude:Lots of good answers so far.
I feel that LOTR and Hobbit are 2 of the best pin integrations of all time.
It’s Hobbit. LOTR is well integrated but it’s more like the Nintendo NES version of the story. hobbit is like you are THERE. IN. The BATTLE!!
Quoted from Daditude:I feel that LOTR and Hobbit are 2 of the best pin integrations of all time.
I agree!
Quoted from radial_head:Are we talking about license integration or theme integration? Very different things.
I think it's the usual "my theme's better than your theme" bullshit.
Just the way the game makes you feel. I feel like every part of LOTR makes me feel like I am in movie. The call outs, modes are all done so well.
There aware certainly themes I love (Star Wars) that in my opinion were just implemented to pinball poorly.

So you mean best implemented license?
Quoted from jorge5240:Just the way the game makes you feel. I feel like every part of LOTR makes me feel like I am in movie.
LOTR makes me feel bored and want to walk away to find something better to play.
And never watch that long, boring movie again.
Quoted from o-din:LOTR makes me feel bored and want to walk away to find something better to play.
I've literally walked away from it at an arcade after chopping wood for 25 minutes with no end in site. I'll never play another game of it again, unless I'm forced to at league night or something.

This is why I don't do leagues. It's like you are forced to play games like this one. And then wait while some other dude has a 45 minute ball.
Whoever put LOTR into the league rotation needs to be taken out back and shot. I cringe when people want to play a two player game here unless I have a lot of distractions to keep me busy. But once a week I get into a good solo game (I play it three times a week at most) and there’s nothing like it. I may have to give Rick and Morty the nod on theme integration but LOTR is a close second. Tron is pretty good too.
