Hobbit

If you like the theme, you'll love the game. VERY immersive and fun to play!

Great code, lighting, audio, and one of the most overall beautiful games (IMHO of course) to boot.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

I have both games.
In a home collection TAF gets repetitive and boring after a few months once you tour the mansion 2 or 3 times in a single game. Its a a really fun game and people love to play it, but Im tired of it and will sell it.
The hobbit is a curiousity. It takes many games on it to really understand what its all about.
Once you "get it", the game opens up and has real staying power in a collection.
Novice players are confused by its complexity after just bashing monsters a bit.
The only downside is that, like the movies, it can have really long game times.
There is nothing like the Hobbit except maybe LOTR.
There are many games like TAF that are fun and repetitive.

This. I wonder how many of those bashing the Hobbit have actually ever played more than a few games and on one that has been properly set up (and ideally in a home environment so you can hear it too). I would bet not many.
