Quoted from jsandjs:Hello,
I have LOTR, got it new in 2003, and had the Hobbit. They did indeed look nice next to each other but that's about it. I could never really get into the Hobbit, it like all JJP games are stunning to look at but I found it not a whole lot of fun. It has a lot of modes but kind of a barren playfield. I sold the Hobbit as LOTR is for me a way better game. I do currently have a both a HEP restored Twilight Zone and HEP restored Addams family sitting next t each other both of which to me anyways are far better games then the Hobbit especially if you like classic Williams games. But who knows when you play the Hobbit you may really enjoy it that's the beauty of pinball what one person likes another might not and vice versa. Good luck!
