Join Frodo, Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir a Man of Gondor and Frodo's Hobbit friends Sam, Merry and Pippin as they explore wonders, solve timeless riddles, overcome their foes, and try to destroy the ring. The fate of Middle-earth lies in your hands — will you make it to Mount Doom?From Frodo's humble home in The Shire to the orc-infested Mines of Moria and the enchanted forest of Lorien, LEGO The Lord of the Rings delivers all the magic, mystery and heart-pounding excitement of the popular story — re-imagined with the humor and endless variety of LEGO play. Explore the magical world of Middle-earth as you discover and unlock more than 60 playable characters. Collect and combine a variety of weaponry and magical items to help you on your journey and in your battles with the Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog, the Witch-king and other fearsome creatures. Use the power of the Palantir, or the Seeing-stone, to jump between multiple storylines in Middle-earth. It's time to relive the legend as only LEGO can.

I bought a used copy of this game from Best Buy, and so far, no problems. I'm a big fan of the Lego games, and this one does not disappoint. It is challenging and very entertaining, especially as a huge Lord of the Rings fan. The only qualm I have with this game is that it does not have a download play option -- in other words, if I wanted to play with other people, they'd have to own a copy of the game as opposed to being able to download it from my copy of the game.
Regardless, I'd highly recommend this game!

After I had lost my Pikachu 3DS XL on a flight, I was desperately looking for a new limited edition 3DS. I ended up purchasing a blue 3DS XL to satiate my gaming needs, but once I saw this in the store (on sale), I ended up buying it and returning the blue one. I could not be happier! I love the look and feel of this 3DS, and it was no more expensive than the other 3DS models that did not have a game pre-installed. So, not only do you get a limited edition 3DS, but you also get a pre-installed game, all for the same price as a regular 3DS XL.
The one thing to be wary of... if you're buying this to replace an old 3DS and are planning to transfer data from the old 3DS to this one, you will lose the pre-installed copy of Mario & Luigi Dream Team. However, you can easily re-download it from the Nintendo Store at no extra charge, since the game is tied to the serial number of the device.
All in all, I highly recommend this 3DS!
