Warner Bros. throws you into the world of Middle-Earth for $4.99 / €4.49

The awesome LEGO The Lord of the Rings is now available in a portable format for your iPhone or iPad at just $4.99 / €4.49.

Available now from the iTunes App Store on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, LEGO The Lord of the Rings lets you “Delve into the world of Middle-earth and engage in epic battles with Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog, the Witch-king, and other fearsome creatures.”

You all know the story, so I won’t bother you with what the game has to offer, but if you simply must document yourself before grabbing this gem, the App Store is just a click away.

Since the game is a whopping 1.5GB in size, you’ll need twice that amount in free disk space to have the game installed. It has to do with the copying of files in two different places. That’s how iOS apps get installed.

Warner Bros. promises “many hours of content and cinematics,” which is the main reason behind the game’s heft. If you can’t spare the 3GB, download the game with iTunes and sync (you’ll still need to have 1.5GB of free space). Play it on the latest iOS and reboot after installation.
