Lego has just officially announced a video game adaptation of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.

The game puts you in the shoes of Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Gray, and 13 of their dwarf compadres as they partake in an adventure to fight the evil dragon Smaug. Dialogue from the movie provide voices for the characters in the trailer, but the cutscenes keep the Lego tongue-in-cheek physical comedy familiar to fans of the video game franchise.

According to the trailer, the rough release date will be in 2014, so gifting this for Christmas isn't possible.
