    While not as steeped in lore for serious fans as I would like, the gameplay is terrific. I never thought that I could spend so many hours slaughtering the armies of Sauron! The combat system is fluid, and the world is stunningly rendered.

    Shadows of Mordor - Xbox One Review

    Shadows of Mordor for the Xbox One far surpasses it's last generation version with graphics but game play is relatively the same. This game has a large open world dynamic, allowing the player to travel to pretty much anywhere (within reason). This game has over 20 hours of game play has DLC able to be purchased from the Xbox Store. Personally, I think it's worth the money. There is a game of the year edition will ultimately save you a few bucks if you are definitely going to buy ALL of the DLC. If you just want a good game to play through, this standard version will suffice.

    I started playing this game and I habce to say, I haven't putnit down. It has an amazing story, the characters are brilliantly written and the story keeps you coming back for more. The side missions that you can participate it are different enough that you don't get bored of them easily. The big, open world is fun to explore and conquer. This is definitely a must play game for everyone.

    I have been waiting for this game since I heard about it. As a big fan of Middle Earth - I have played pretty much all the previous attempts to create an immersive, yet playable game based on this world. Although some weren't bad, this is the first one that knocks it out of the park. I blew through 6 straight hours after putting it in my Xbox One last night. Plenty of action with the role playing elements that allow you to play to your own style. The nemesis system is a great addition and creates a unique undertone to your game. I found myself developing personal dynamics between myself and the characters (especially the ones that killed me more than once! I want revenge!). Great gameplay, great graphics, immersive and engaging world and characters - in my opinion, it's the best Xbox One game yet.

    I normally do not like the games that come from a "Movie"... but WOW I was shocked! This is a really good game. Fighting and hunting Orcs is a great concept. If you haven't seen this game check out YouTube but you will not be disappointed if you buy it. Have fun!

    The game is amazing, I highly Recommend it. The combat system and open world experience is endless and the game is still fun, after beating the campaign. The main story line is incredible and allows you to learn a little bit about the history of Middle Earth and the Rings of Power.

    I was expecting a game similar to assassins creed and batman and I got what I expected plus more. The enemy system for the unique captains is frustrating and perfect at the same time. Getting killed by the same Orc over and over with him making fun of you each time you meet him drives me crazy in a good way. Especially when you finally get the best of him and cut him in two. I can't wait to get to the ability to control orcs. This is one game that did not disappoint me in the least. The nemesis system is fun too. Nothing like avenging a friend who got killed by a specific Orc. Pick it up if you are looking for a fun open world game with some new things to try out. I doubt it will disappoint.
