When the Uruks come a-knockin' and Talion gets to rockin', he does so with the grace of the Dark Knight holding a sword. He hangs from ledges like Ezio, leaps onto Uruks like Ezio, and even hides in bushes like a true Assassin or voyeur. I'm almost 100% certain that he even uses Ezio's running animation from Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood the exact animation. Talion moves and fights like the love child of Ezio Auditore and Batman. The game itself, like an ugly puppy, does manage to endear itself to the player, however. However, when one insists on playing a new game on old hardware, one must accept that technical hiccups come with the territory and some things have to be changed entirely (Looking at you, The Force Unleashed on PS2). The load times are also horrendous, every time you pause the game you can expect to dedicate at least 45 seconds of your life to getting back to the game and you must pause often to check the map and equip new runes and things. Talion often looks like spiderman climbing smooth, textureless walls until all the boards and stones and things load, the cutscenes seem to clip short, and one time the cutscene just abruptly ended before the characters even finished their conversation with no input from me. The graphical criticisms are definitely true, this game has more pop up than a frat house at a naked lady party. I will not compare it to newer-gen systems because I am reviewing the Xbox360 version of the game. That bit of wisdom aside, on to the review! Unfortunately, I can understand some people being disenchanted with this title, so I'm going to have to defend the score I'm giving it a little bit.

If they didn't finish the game, they didn't get into all the things you could do, didn't get the full story, and thus cannot put together any kind of intelligent review.
I want to begin by giving any reader of use reviews good advice: If someone says they didn't finish the game, ignore their review. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Needles to say, if you haven't played this game, you are seriously missing out on an awesome experience. The combat is excellent, and you feel quite satisfied and powerful seeing a bunch of Orcs flee in horror as you brutalize their captain before their eyes. The game was surprisingly violent compared to other works based on the Tolkien universe. The nemesis system is also a very impressive concept, as it makes the world feel much more dynamic and alive. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor takes inspiration from Batman Arkham's combat mechanics and Assassin's Creed's parkour mechanics and molds them into a beautifully crafted masterpiece.

If you love the Batman Arkham series and Assassin's Creed, you'll LOVE this game. The graphics may not be nearly as pretty as they are on next-gen versions, but this game is an action-packed feast. And you know what? I was not disappointed. Once it came out, I purchased the game for Xbox 360.

I waited for an update to be I waited two months to buy this game because I knew it would released with countless flaws on last-gen. I waited two months to buy this game because I knew it would released with countless flaws on last-gen.
