New LEGO "The Lord of the Rings" game trailer

This trailer debuted recently at Gamescom 2012, a European game convention. I don't think any of this is gameplay footage. Rather, we're just getting a mashup of different cinematics. Still, it looks great and I have to admit I'm actually a little excited for this to be released in the fall.

There are some gameplay videos floating around out there from E3 earlier this year, but many of them rely heavily on the cinematics and show just one bit of the actual player aspect. Usually, it's the battle scene from the Mines of Moira.

Still, what I've seen looks great so far. Most attempts to put the LotR trilogy in video game form have fallen terribly short. Hopefully this version can do it justice.
