When the movies came out, video games were sure to follow. Somehow it was decided that it would be split up - some games based on the movies, some games based on the books. The Hobbit wasn't a movie of course, so it was made to follow the book (just as The Fellowship of the Ring game did, made by the same folks). The Hobbit game came out for Nintendo's GameCube exclusively (to begin with). The PS2, X-Box, and PC versions were released later (last fall/early winter). As I recall, the book-based Fellowship of the Ring came out alongside the movie-based Two Towers. The book-based Hobbit came out (except for the earlier GameCube version) alongside the movie-based Return of the King.
Coincidentally, this is kind of how the animated films came out in the '70s.

I liked The Hobbit videogame. For me it had two distinct plus points:

I agree, it is basically an easy game, and like you, I like to finish games and not have to go over & over with something. I like to get through them fairly quickly if possible. The problem solving was FUN! I esp. enjoyed finding all the keys in order to get the Forge working properly in order to get to the Arkenstone. I guess my fav. parts were when Bilbo was in Mirkwood forest and in Smaug's lair ... although I was somewhat disappointed with Smaug's animation. I figured he coulda done or said more than what was given to him. I did however enjoy the massive "treasure hunts" in the lair and throughout the game. It was great and I'm anxiously looking forward to playing the LOTR games.
