Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the engaging gameplay, compelling story, and innovative Nemesis System in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Many also praise the game's beautiful open world and responsive controls. However, some players find the difficulty challenging, and a few note limited replayability after completing the main story. The game's strengths clearly outweigh its weaknesses for most players.

    Been looking for this game since this game was voted #1 for 2014. Best Buy had the best buy and order online pickup was easy.

    The title pretty much sums up gameplay. Story wise, I hate LOTR and I loved this game. Kinda plays like the Batman games too

    I was happy to see there is actually some challenge in this game. I was sad to see that it gets somewhat repetitive pretty quickly. Overall, I am happy with the game.

    This game is amazing. I love The Lord of the Rings, and I was so relieved this game did it justice. The game play is great, and it gets better as you progress through the story. The animations and character models are perfect, there's so many that you the game doesn't seem repetitive like other games. It's spectacularly polished.

    This is what all Middle-earth games should be! This creates a parallel storyline to the one in the books/films. You get to play a ranger who gets the abilities of shadow. This game feels very much like a Legacy of Kain or Dishonored. As you level up and gain experience you get points to spend on your skill tree of dark powers.

    I just picked this game up over the holidays. I have had a blast playing so far. Lord of the Rings is a fun setting in and of itself. However, getting to play out storyline other than the books/movies is great. The dynamic changes of the enemy army is fun to see evolve and intervene with. It reminds me of Lords of the Rings game with gameplay like some Assassin's Creed games. I highly recommend it.

    This game and Destiny are a few of the games that are finally taking advantage of the newer systems and producing some interesting games. The graphics on Shadow of Mordor are very good and the game has a lot to it so you do not finish it in a day. Well worth the money...you will enjoy it especially if you enjoy Middle Earth.

    This game has similarities to the Assassin's Creed games, but it is its own game. Fighting in the game, especially early on, effects future encounters as fighting outcomes influence the make up of Sauron's army. The graphics are amazing, but the brutality is definitely not for kids. It earns its M rating through the violence, there is no adult content or language. All in all, a petty good game.

    This game is incredible, I have been playing it since it was released and I'm still enthralled. Naturally developing action, exciting and challenging enemies, engaging combat, etc. etc. Definitely pulls a lot of influence from the Batman and Assassins' Creed games, but no personal complaints there! Absolutely recommend.

    My time with Shadow of Mordor was nothing but great. This open world game is excellent, it allows you to tackle any objective the way you want and each user experience is different. The graphics are awesome and the enemy A.I. is very smart. Again this is a must have game. I have recommend this game to all my friends.
