This is an older title, and it does have a bit of a difference from other titles with the item system. The biggest issue with this game is that there are just too many cut scenes, go through part of a level, cut scene, another bit, another cut scene, finish the level, cut scene. Now granted if you try to 100% the game you'll get more play than cut scenes, mostly because you can skip them once you go through once. But looking at this game, I feel like Tt simply wanted to do a digitized version of the LOTR movies in a Lego game more so than make a game of LOTR.
