    Wow, yet another game to have around the house to keep the kids occupied for countless hours and into the middle of the night instead of doing important things like homework and job applications. Thanks Xbox.

    Beyond my gripes about how generic Talion looks (so do some of the other human characters)/the game is fantastic. The orc designs are amazing, and SO VARIED. If you liked the first one, I recommend this.

    This is a successful sequel to the original. It has much more to do, too, so it is definitely worth the pickup.

    Good sequel. Some of the gameplay changes made it more enjoyable than the Shadow of Mordor. Sufficiently challenging at first as well (i.e., died frequently before figuring out some of the new mechanics). I still hate the "memories" aspect of the game where you have to rotate the controller to find the hidden spot and solve the 3-D puzzle; but otherwise, enjoyable game.

    Shadow of War has the best "Lord of the Rings" feel and the adventure/action is great! I have spent hours playing this game so far and it's a blast to experience. Get ready for hours of fun!

    One of the most interesting & immersive games I've played in quite some time. Graphics are breathtakingly gorgeous. Every decision you make has in game results & consequences. Replay-ability is great, because it'll be different with every choice you make. Great continuation of the original with huge improvements in many areas. A must-have for a LOTR fan or anyone looking for a story to get lost in and exciting gameplay.

    If you like LOTR lore and the old school LOTR games that I spent many hours playing this game gives you that fun with some new strategy twists and a bit of RPG. Definitley worth it.

    This was a gift for my son and he was a huge fan of the original. He said this game does everything great from the first one but expands every concept so it's "ten times" as good.
