    This is very similar to Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, but with much more content overall. It's a fun action-RPG with interesting concepts that are executed well, and it can keep you busy for dozens of hours.

    I was not really into the first game, but this sequel has fixed all of the nuances that bugged me the first go around. If you are an RPG fan or a LOTR fan, pick this game up!

    The interesting story is the only thing keeping this title alive. Boring button mashing combat, averagely ok graphics, and an odd enemy generating system.

    I really thought this was going to be an amazing game, but all it’s done is make me lose faith in EA. It’s fun but I wish I had waited for a price drop.

    Expands upon the first one immensely, excellent world design, story pacing is great, only issues are with the battle system sometimes, which all WB games have.
