This is one of the best games I have ever played it is so good. If you would like further information on this game please contact me. Gollum in this game is fun. From Daisy

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is not bad action RPG with intresting gameplay and biig locations with good fighting. But is to short storyline.

This game borrows heavily from the Assassin's Creed series but has less pointless collectibles. Besides the main missions their are lots of good side missions like rescuing slaves, or challenges involving one of your three main weapons; bow, dagger, or sword. Of course the bigger draw is the "Nemesis System" where certain captain orcs are given random, but distinct personalities. Your interactions with them and amongst themselves makes for fantastic emergent gameplay as you seek revenge on orc who earned a promotion of killing you, or you decide to let Bubol the Cave-Rat live each time you have an encounter just to see how scarred one orc can get. The combat is similar to the Batman Arkham series of games, fast flowing yet simply executed. The only criticism I have of the game is that it takes a few hours to level up and actually feel like you're succeeding at the game. Early encounters with large groups of orcs and their captains can feel overwhelming, frustrating and pointless. However, by early-mid to late game you will have developed some useful and entertaining abilities. By late game the combat options are phenomenal. So a fairly long learning curve but worth it in the end. The game is fairly grisly, more so than any of the Lord of the Ring films, so I wouldn't recommend young children playing it. Also if you don't care at all for the Lord of the Rings series, this is still an extremely enjoyable game to play.

A fine game whether your into the whole middle earth scene or not and would highly recommend to anyone keen on open world games.

Fun game although not as advertised. This isn't zavvi's fault it's just they changed a lot of it from what was shown a year ago and so it's pretty disappointing if you have seen the videos they posted about the nemesis system and how you use fear as a weapon. Good game just not the great one I was expecting

Really good so far, really has that middle earth feel to it, the best LOTR game I've played to date, good action and story, definitely worth a look.

Don't normally bother reviewing games, but this one is so exceptional, it deserves it! Think all the best bits of Assassin's Creed + Batman Arkham mash it all together and put it in Mordor and it spells one awesome adventure! Invest now - you won't regret it!!!!

This game has is all for someone like me. Although I felt slightly annoyed at the shortness of the main quest it is still sizeable enough and rewarding - I'm just a gamer that loves a very very deep rich long storyline. All the side missions- from branding Orcs, betraying War chiefs through their own followers, to grabbing all the runes you can switching and changing them as you go through the game moulding it to suit your needs, to other things such as doing survivalist, artefacts and various other things for challenges. I like the open world-ness to the game, you don't have to stream drive through the main mission you can just head out and do your own thing which was one reason I liked this. The combat system is well structured, I won't say it's hard but you what you unlock with ability points as you progress are great. If you are a fan of Middle Earth then this is definitely worth a shot. Personal rating of a high 9/10.

Fantastic development on the lord of the rings and Middle Earth franchise. Loved these games on the PS2 / Ps3 and Shadow of Mordor is one step better. If you like assassins creed series then this is a must own - gore, adventure and a good story line to boot. I give it an 8 out of 10.
