Talk:The Hobbit (2003 video game)

Year published?
Missing information: Which year was it published? --Alvestrand 06:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Missing information added. (2003) Shadowviking 12:32, 26 February 2007

Just in case...
Someone added: "Also, when you play the level Roast Mutton, if you get caught by the trolls you loose the level wheras in the book, the trolls just argue on how to eat Bilbo." Judging by both this, and the fact that their last edit was a while ago, I have been led to believe that they have not finished the game- after you get the pocketbook (wallet,) they do argue. So the info was incorrect, I'm afraid. Sorry! Shadowviking 01:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

And again, sorry-
Someone has edited: Bilbo only has grey hair because he's older in the trilogy, younger in The Hobbit. Gandalf's first lines of introduction label him as wearing a blue hat. The dwarves thing is interesting, but it should probably just go in "Trivia", with a mention of it being similar to The Hobbit movie. Sorry, but please check your facts before adding things, I very much dislike having to get rid of people's work!

The plot synopsis....
...isn't done. Can anyone finish it. I don't really remember what happens, so I don't want to do it. Flamingtorch372 (talk) 17:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Mistakes and Glitches
I think that the one that talks about Bard being the captian can go into the Plot Differences section, but I think the rest of that info is pointless to the article and should be deleted. Anyone agree? Flamingtorch372 (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're probably right. Go ahead. Shadowviking (talk) 16:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a pretty cool glitch I found. I have the computer game version, so I don't know if it will work on the consoles. If you are picking a chest, you can press the escape button to stop and go back to the normal playmode. I don't know if the developers intended for that to be the case, but using this can help you avoid injury if you mess up.

I don't know if it's worth making a glitch category on the page or not though, but if someone agrees, i'll go ahead and do it.-The_Executive 20:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I did that too.(The esc button) I couldn't find a way to make it work on XBox or PS2, so I'm guessing it's PC only! Also, I found that in the last part of the last level, to get to the 1st barrel, you can climb up the palce where it rolls down! Lastly sometimes when you arein Hobbiton, and when you are near the trolls, some of the bushes have become invisible. I love this game though!!! I've beaten it 16 times, and found new stuff each time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.23.89 (talk) 02:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, a "glitches" section isn't really necessary to the article. And even if there were a section for it, there are too many glitches in the game to list there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.108.81.43 (talk) 16:44, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedrunning
So I know not everyone will agree with me on this, but might it be a good idea to have a speedrunning article or maybe even mention it at all? Outside of its speedrunning community, hardly anyone really plays the game. Or what about a glitch section? Or a section about differences between console versions and the PC version? Any of these I think would help the article somewhat.

I don't really think that speedrun information is relevant to the article. The information about the troll boss fight cut from "Over Hill and Under Hill" (sounds from it can still be heard in the games files, and the full fight is available via debug mode) might be interesting for the article, but I still don't know if it's important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.108.15.158 (talk) 23:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Versions?
Probably not a huge deal, but if we're going to address the GBA version in the same article, shouldn't we also describe the mechanics/gameplay of that version? As is, the article is written as if describing all listed versions (including GBA) even though the GBA version is different in mechanics, gameplay, plot, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.108.81.43 (talk) 02:27, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
