Customers regard the graphics, Nemesis system, and story of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor very positively. They describe the combat system as excellent and the open world as immersive. Some customers, however, find the game repetitive and express disappointment with the game's length.
This game is like a combination of both the games Batman and Assassin's Creed set in the Lord of the Rings world.. There are loads of missions you can do and just the battle system alone had me blown away. Also something I have never seen in any game is the Nemesis System which I enjoy..This is by far my game of the year. I would so recommend this game. Just not to kids though.

This was a Christmas present from my wife and to be honest the first game I received for a long time, (remember Command and Conquer 3?) The game is 5 DVDs and it took 90 minutes to install. At first I thought I would not like the game because of all of the different commands you had to memorize to be proficient. But once I hurdled the learning curve I enjoyed the game a lot. The game is the story of a man, Talion, who's wife and daughter were killed by the Black Hand of Sauron. It isTalion's journey for revenge. He is possessed by a wraith, Celebrimbor. We find out about 1/3 into the game that Celebrimbor played a very important part in the Middle Earth world. (If you have read the Silmarillion you already know who Celebrimbor is). It seems as if the story takes place between The Hobbit and Lord of the Ring. Gollum makes a brief appearance in the game still looking for his precious. This is an over the shoulder slasher game. The graphics of the game were very good. The story kept my interest as well. I usually don't watch the cut out scenes but the ones in Shadow were very good and held my interest. There are plenty of side missions too that will earn you extra XP and gear. The only part that got a little old was when you battled the chiefs and captains. They always talked trash adn their trash talk became repetitive, unfortunately you can't just hit Esc and cancel out of that. One thing I really liked is if you fight a captain or warchief and lost the they will level up making them even harder to kill the next time you see them. The game is very violent, a lot of Orc and Uruk blood and beheadings. It took me about 40 hours to beat the game, but there were still some side missions I will go back to and finish. I think that even if you're not into Middle Earth you will still enjoy the game.

This game is is great. It features an open world and lots of side quests. The quests get repetitive, but they help in getting upgrades for your abilities. Also, the gameplay is similar to that of assassin's Creed and batman arkham series. This game also features the nemesis system. This system makes it so that there are consequences for losing to enemies (they get tougher when you respond, ex. They too get experience from winning). Great game!
