As a game, The Hobbit is just as likely to disappoint big-time Tolkien fans as its troubled gameplay is likely to disappoint the average gamer, and it's not exactly clear who it's intended for.

The game's look is the first problem: The graphics are fine, but they have the same garish, cartoon-like style you'll find in a few dozen other generic 3D action games. Bilbo is depicted with the gigantic eyes and the physical proportions of a child. He looks and moves like a four-year-old human, not a 50-year-old hobbit. The trolls look more like Shrek than man-eating monsters, and ... they dance. Even the wolves look more like cubs. It's as if the game were based on an imaginary Saturday morning cartoon -- call it 'Tolkien Babies' -- rather than the classic prelude to the Lord of the Rings.

With this in mind, you could hardly be blamed for thinking the game was intended for children, but other than the 'E' rating (which doesn't tell you much since even games like Madden NFL carry that rating), there's no indication of that on the box or on Sierra's website. In fact, some elements of the game -- like a shot of Bilbo gulping water as he drowns in a whirlpool -- don't seem like they're suited for young children.

In terms of its action, The Hobbit seems more inspired by games like the Sonic Adventure series than the novel it's named for -- unless I missed the part where Bilbo runs around the Shire collecting coins and colorful jewels that magically jump into his pockets. It's definitely not an adventure game or RPG by any stretch of the imagination.

There are, however, a couple of elements inspired by the novel that keep The Hobbit from being an utterly generic platform game. In the book, the reason Gandalf and the dwarves shanghai Bilbo into their quest is the fact that, respectable hobbit that he is, he has burglar's blood in his veins. In the game, this translates into the occasional locked chest that Bilbo has to pick, and into levels where Bilbo uses stealth to sneak past enemies he couldn't hope to defeat in battle.

The lock-picking sequences work pretty well; you're presented with a series of moving gears and dials, and you simply have to watch them closely and hit the action button at the right time. Chests in later levels are more complex and can be trapped, but the difficulty is carefully balanced so that the task always feels exciting and challenging without being too tough.

The same can't be said for the stealth scenarios, which lead to The Hobbit's most nerve-wracking, hair-tearing moments. The game's 3D camera angles and interface simply aren't conducive to this style of gameplay. It's often very difficult to tell exactly where an enemy is and where he's looking, so getting through these levels involves trial and error. A lot of trial and error. You may find yourself playing the same section several times over just to figure out when and where it's safe to move -- then several more times before you finally get it right.

Awkward control is another problem: When you want to change direction, Bilbo doesn't turn in place; he runs or walks in a little circle. That can make it tough when the challenge is to jump from one small platform or hanging rope to the next, but it's truly maddening in the stealth sections, where stepping a tiny bit off the correct path can mean failure.

This frustration is compounded by the fact that, like so many other quickie console ports to the PC, The Hobbit only lets you save the game at certain specific places. So every time you wander into the eye-line of a bad guy you didn't think was looking your way, or tiptoe within a pixel of a dry leaf, you're going all the way back to the beginning to try again.

The Hobbit is a game that doesn't know what audience it's going for. Its look and feel is too juvenile for adults, and some of its challenges are too difficult and frustrating for kids. Even rabid Tolkien fans won't care for the game, thanks to its translation of the classic novel into a lightweight, cartoonish platformer. It has a few redeeming qualities, but it's a sad waste of great source material.

Unlike the foreboding menace of Tolkien's earlier tale The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit is a brief, more lighthearted foray into the beardy literary marvel Middle Earth.

Set several years before Frodo's gruelling sojourn to Mordor, The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and a band of gold-obsessed dwarves as they venture into the heart of Lonely Mountain to swipe the dragon Smaug's gleaming hoard.

Crystal Clear

The PC version of events sticks to the script pretty faithfully and the upshot is a charmingly playable 3D action-adventure. All the best moments from the book are there, such as the bickering trolls, stealing' the ring from Gollum and of course, the final attack on Smaug. Not too much to gripe about when it comes to content, then. Yet, The Hobbit will not appeal to every lover of the little people...

This is because it's so sanitised, you can almost smell the disinfectant. With inoffensive gameplay along the lines of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and a nonthreatening cartoon style reminiscent of Zelda on the GameCube, The Hobbit is aimed squarely at pre-teens.

When Bilbo kills an enemy, instead of severed limbs, gushing blood and wails of agony, you're rewarded with a sparkling shower of crystals.

The more courage crystals' Bilbo collects, the stronger he becomes.Enemy innards are not the only places harbouring crystals. Virtually every corner, crevice and cubbyhole on each of The Hobbit's essentially linear levels hides a gem; it's like a plague you can't escape. What's more, the tinkling sound of crystals echoes around your head hours after you've stopped playing.

Despite the linearity, there's still room for a few mini-quests, secrets and puzzles. Completing every quest (please find my son! etc) and finding every secret is not always essential, but the chances are it'll help in the long run. The puzzles could be anything from knocking apples out of trees with stones, to unlocking a chest by playing a strange sort of reflex test, where you have to stop tumblers at the right time. Oh, and cowards will be pleased to know this is one Tolkien game where you can wear the Ring and run away...And platforms? Don't talk to us about platforms; The Hobbit contains more precarious vaults across crumbling rock precipices than all the Harry Potter and Zelda games put together as one.

So, cute and annoying it may be, but The Hobbit is still worth a shot if you have little ones itching to smear their greasy fingerprints all over your computer. Okay, it might not possess the glamour and gore of EA's more topical Lord Of The Rings game, but at least it won't give anyone nightmares. In fact, you'll be lucky if you get any sleep at all with all those bloody crystals jingle-jangling around in your head.
