LEGO Dimensions is a LEGO videogame in which elements from LEGO The Lord of the Rings cross over with other LEGO properties (such as Super Heroes). The starter pack features Gandalf as one of the original playable characters.
It was developed by Traveller's Tales, and released for Wii U, PlayStation 3 & 4, and Xbox in 2015.
Synopsis[]
Lord Vortech, a mysterious being of incredible power, seeks to bring order to the multiverse by merging all dimensions into one using the Foundation Elements, powerful items unique to each world. One of these proves to be the One Ring, which prompts Vortech to abduct Frodo Baggins from Moria just as Gandalf has fallen from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm with Durin's Bane. Gandalf, having been rescued by Batman, joins forces with the Dark Knight and Wyldstyle, who have likewise lost friends and powerful artifacts to Vortech's plot, in order to rescue Frodo and the Ring. Among their first adventures is saving the city of Metropolis, which has been invaded by Sauron in his armored form in alliance with Lord Vortech. Upon obtaining the Locate Keystone, Sauron uses it to summon an army of Orcs as well as setting Barad-dûr directly on top of Lexcorp Tower.
The trio arrive to see Sauron's Orc army overrun the city. They even see Superman being sucked into a portal summoned by Sauron. After fighting their way to the dark tower, the trio engage in battle against Two-face and an Oliphant before confronting the Dark Lord in his tower. Despite using the Keystone to summon more soldiers, Sauron is eventually overwhelmed. Upon being defeated, he is dragged to Foundation Prime, where Lord Vortech crumples his armor while the other villains laugh at him.
Gandalf and his companions subsequently travel to Minas Tirith, which is occupied by Vortech's forces under leadership of The Riddler. After making their way through the city, the companions were forced to face the Riddler and Durin's Bane, which had survived it's encounter with Gandalf. Fortunately, the three were able to defeat the Balrog only for the Riddler and Gollum, who had been hanging about, to fall from the city, though they were saved by a Fellbeast.
