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.

    Not what I expected

    Reminds me of a cross between Assassin's Creed and Soul Reaver. Not too far in yet, but I like what I've seen so far. Probably the start of a franchise.

    Similar to Assassin's Creed, but with orcs. Great climbing, great combat. The world feels a little empty, but its a neat sandbox game.

    This game is excellent, feels a little like Ryse Son of Rome for XBOX or Assassins Creed.

    Great Replay Value

    Once you understand how the orc promotion system works and how to find them you get a better grasp of an important part of the game. From there the level of replay-ability is quite amazing and challenging. I have played only 5-6 hours so far and I am very excited to experience more. Whatever you do, don't allow the orcs to kill you too often. Yes you come back to life with ease, but the more you die the more powerful the orc hierarchy becomes.

    It's Assassin's Creed meets Middle Earth. Lots of fun, but still not a 10/10 game, but a good start.

    I guarantee you will spend more than 40 hours in this game. It makes you feel so powerful and if you choose to do the few side quests and missions you will max out everything you possibly can. If you like assassin's creed and the arkham games, and even if you don't love Lord of the Rings - this game will be entertaining to you.

    I was very surprised with the game... It's so much fun!!! I never got tired of killing those hordes of orcs. The graphics are great and animations are very very fluid. The "nemesis" system works very well too and it is very addicting. This is one of the best games I've played in 2014, for sure! Very worth of your gaming time.

    A Suprise Hit

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I figured as a fan of Lord of the Rings this would be fun to pick up. However, what I got was probably my game of the year. A good storyline, plenty of sidequests, solid combat, and the "Nemesis System" is a great innovation in gameplay. Recommended for those who like the Assassin's Creed or Batman Arkham style combat games.
