The Hobbit for Gamecube

In the Lord of the Rings movies, Frodo (Elijah Wood) is the heroic hobbit who fights the forces of the evil Sauron and his minions. But, before The Lord of the Rings brought Orlando Bloom to the screen as Legolas Greenleaf, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins was saving the day, and finding the One Ring. The Hobbit video game for the Nintendo Gamecube game console lets you control the brave lil' fella in the original quest to slay the dragon Smaug.

The Hobbit Gamecube Video Game - Little Facts

The adventures of Bilbo Baggins start in Hobbitown when Gandalf the Wizard arrives, just like in The Lord of the Rings. You get to control brave Bilbo as he fights the forces of evil orcs, goblins, spiders and the occasional troll. There's a lot of sword-swinging action, sneaking around, puzzle solving and, of course, item fetching.
