Very Fun, But Designed for a Gamepad

The biggest problem with it is that its clearly designed to be used with a gamepad (as would be found on a console). There is no mouse support and using a keyboard with it very difficult, especially with the default mapping. This is especially egregious when you have to fire off arrows or throw objects because a crosshairs appears, but you cant use your mouse to direct it: you have to use WASD (or whatever youve remapped it to).

If you have a gamepad to plug into your computer, youll enjoy LEGO Lord of the Rings immensely. If you dont, youll have to do some key remapping or get used to the sub-par keyboard scheme before you can fully enjoy the game. Its worth it though: this is the most enjoyable LEGO game Ive played since LEGO Star Wars. It captures the feel of Lord of the Rings while adapting it to the fun style of Lego Gameplay.
