    A good looking game, in-depth nemesis system, however plays very similar to Assassin's Creed games. Effectively Middle Earth combined with AC.

    Was on Xmas list for son who is a game programmer so I guess he knew it was good. Was excited to open it so was a worthwhile purchase.

    it's like the hitman games but played as lotr character and in the lotr world. I do like the cool 'nemesis ' feature, really great.

    A good solid 40+ hours of gameplay. A little bit repetitive in places, but overall the storyline is well worth the play through.

    I wasn't sure I wanted this game at first, but after a few friend got it and told me how great it was I had to try it. It was a nice change of pace from the FPS's I usually play and I have to say it was hard to put down the controller. Great game would def. recommend it to friends.

    This game is excellent. The story is great. It is a challenging game, but not so bad that you want to quit. It's a perfect game and with all the side quests, you can spend a lot of time playing.

    This game has amazing graphics and the Nemisis Enemy system makes every encounter unique. Only had it two days and almost 50% complete on my first run through, I can't stop playing it.

    If you like the Batman games and/or the Assassin's Creed games and you're a LOTR fan, you need to play this game. The gameplay is fantastic and the Middle Earth setting looks incredible. I highly recommend this game.

    I really like the game play here; you can "run and gun" or sneak around, and you can switch between the two in a way that feels natural. The story is interesting, voice acting is very good, and I have yet to get annoyed by repetitive "arrow to the knee" comments from the NPCs. I really like the dynamic enemies and the fact that they remember your previous encounters. My only complaints so far are that captains sometime show up out of nowhere when you are engaging a handful of enemies in a manner that seems unnatural, and I don't like "run from the baddie you cannot possibly fight" type missions - thankfully there's only been one of those so far (and it was at least not an exercise in click a button at exactly the right time).

    Excellent nemesis system that, at a level, eliminates some linear repetitiveness. Combat can be a little tedious since it's pretty much just a button masher, but abilities can change that up a little.

    Good game. Unique twist in that when an enemy defeats you they rank up and become more powerful. Neat that you can learn enemies weaknesses and strengths.
