    Awesome game play, there is a lot to explore with many side missions. This is a game you can play for months. Definitely worth the money.

    Excellent gameplay and an expansive world. Clean fighting throughout. The game is much more of the same from the original. I've enjoyed it but haven't been playing as much as I expected. Still a good game I'd recommend.

    This game, except for the microtransaction aspect, is a great way to get lost in a different world. Great graphics and smooth gameplay.

    Just finished this game a couple of days ago. It took a good 20 to 30 hours to complete. I spent every minute enjoying this game. I have not played a game in a while that got me so hooked into it. Great story, huge world. And Tom's of things to do. I have recommended this game to friends and family. Every single one is now stuck playing this game.

    The sequel is more of the same as the first game, Shadow of Mordor. It has its new features such as the Sieges, but all in all it feels much the same. Still a good-to-play game with an awful fanfiction-like story.

    If you’ve played the original Shadow of Mortdor you have to get this game! If you haven’t start with the original then get this one.

    Good but with glitches.

    So much more to do in this newest version and that's great. The game has the potential to be awesome but the controls and the camera hamper the experience. The original "Shadow of Mordor" movement controls were precise and responsive to input. So stringing combos were fluid and satisfying. In "Shadow of War", sometimes button presses lag to input and Talion seems to perform autonomous strikes at certain times. It can really be annoying. The camera can also have a tendency to be misaligned with the combat. Hopefully a future update will fix this but thus far it appears that the gameplay was better in the first game. Btw.....playing on a Samsung MU6300 so it's not input lag. The game is still fun though. Does anyone else experience this?

    I loved the first game and wanted more of the same. The nemesis system is back and it's great to create an army to do your bidding.

    Haven't played the game personally. It's a gift for my nephew but the fact that I got it for 27.00 makes it a five star purchase.
