    Awesome game. Personally, is not equally as good as Shadow of Mordor, but that does not take away from it being an awesome game. The storyline slacks a little compared to Mordor; however, if you like the extra-curricular content, there is quite a bit more than Mordor. All-in-all, a great game.

    I have been playing this game since the summer and can't get enough. I'm 68 years old and totally addicted to this game. I just purchased one for my grandson for Christmas. I can't wait until they come out with the next version. I'm just about to purchase the addon so it doesn't end.

    I loved the original game game. The sequel is good but not quite as good as the original. I would still recommend it to those who enjoyed the first, but if you’ve never played these games I would suggest starting with the first one to see if you like it. For die hard LOTR fans the story and characters are pretty cool, but this game is definetly hurt by the first one being so good. The sequel just isn’t quite as fun.

    The game is a good follow up, however the storyline tends to meander a lot. You may need to grind a bit to get the best gear however is still a very enjoyable experience.

    Monolith set itself a goal to make Middle-earth: Shadow of War a lot bigger and more expansive than its predecessor, Shadow of Mordor, in which they definitely succeeded.

    consistently responsive controls, pathway to leveling up very conducive to addicting you to keep on playing. Only difficulty seems to be in activating online play.

    This game did not disappoint at all ! If you play shadow of Mordor, you’ll definitely love this one too. Great story and after you beat the game you can still have fun offline or online in vendetta missions or Conquer fortresses.

    This game provides plenty of replayability, customization, and many long hours of hacking and slashing through Mordor. The nemesis system and character skill trees are an improvement over its predecessor. Although not without some minor flaws, this game is definitely worth picking up and will provide hours of fun.

    Bought this game as a Bday present for my brother. He seems to love it so I have no reason to give it less than an excellent rating.
