I'm not into this game in the slightest, but Gollum as he exists in the book is a great character to base a game around. He follows behind the fellowship for most of the first book, which means he traveled to and through every location, including Moria, without being detected save for a couple times Frodo hears some footsteps he can't place and sees some eyes, but even Frodo can't be sure if it's his mind playing tricks or an actual threat. The orcs are also after Gollum because they want to capture and kill him at Sauron's orders. And he pissed off the Elves, and Aragorn, and Gandalf. Everyone wants to kill him.
Just the Moria sequence alone meant he had to stealth his way through the maze of the mines while keeping enough distance not to be detected by the fellowship, while also avoiding the orcs and eventually the balrog.
tl;dr Some pitiable nerd shit justifies Gollum as the lead character for a game
