Quoted from pinlink:However there are still many people that claim "The Hobbit sucks" because of it being incomplete when it first came
The Hobbit does suck, but not for this reason. It’s boring, way to easy, and has no satisfying shots. Ramps are super basic fish tale ramps. Moving Fish Tale ramps to back of playfield slows it way down. When you make a super easy Shooting game and combine it with super long playing rule set that doesn’t differentiate much, you get the ultimate in chopping wood. It looks good though.
LOTR plays much faster. Sure it is long playing and deep rule set, but the rules are much better and better differentiated. LOTR playfield is also much better, with much more satisfying shots.
