Imagine this happened while exploring the forest of Fangorn with Gandalf searching for lost elven ruins or something.I'm salivating just at the thought of it. The orc system is strong, but keep it on the side! It would be badass to have a rare encounter with your arch-nemesis orc captain, instead of making it oh-so-common.

To conclude this long-ass review, WB show here that they can write strong lore worthy of the franchise, so show us how you can realise it in a full Middle-earth setting! If such a game came out, this would be a tech demo in comparison. Didn't love the elven wall collection thing though. The one part of the game that delivers this yearning for the rest is the artefact collection sidequest, where many references to the Istari, the world of Men, Dwarves, and the locations I mentioned are abound. However, for a game with the prefix 'Middle-earth', the game only touches on 5-10% of Middle-earth. I know the game has a tight focus, and to tell you the truth, this has its benefits. To tell you the truth, I wanted to go to Minas Tirith, Rohan, Mirkwood, The Shire. I really enjoyed the combat, enemies, and graphics, so this is where the high score comes from, but I wanted meaning. What you get though, is you killing orc captains that have no relation to your family's death, having lame boss fights against the ones that are responsible, and not much else (hunting that big ass troll aside). The game has a great set-up: Talion's wife and son dead, NOT because of Sauron, and you're ready to go on a wild rampage of revenge through Middle-earth. This system ties into the story, because a lot of the quests you'll get into involve taking down captains - and I think this is where the main weaknesses of the game show themselves. I know I was actually intimidated before many battles against orc captains, simply because of those intro lines (my favourite being the 'friendly' orcs which, while trying to kill you, were very nice about it - they actually creeped me out). That's what more games need - for enemies to be tangible, real, human-like beings.

I think I heard the same line repeated only once throughout my 20+ hours of playing the game. The personalities of the orcs however, they got spot on. I always looked forward to fighting enemies that could not be leapt over for this reason. I don't think I'm particularly 'good' at the game, it's just the way it is, especially towards the end where you unlock the ability to stun enemies by leaping over them leap, land 5 strokes in one sec, use instant kill, repeat. The 'whatever system' is at its best when you're having a tough time killing them - but I rarely did (I think about twice). Killing orcs that have gotten the better of you numerous times is satisfying, however this is also where the problem lies. The 'whatever system' is great as it actually provides a sense of personalisation into your battles. Orcs are varied, especially due to the whatever system they call it where you can antagonise individual and unique orcs throughout the game. The combat is smooth as silk, better than Assassin's Creed's (which it obviously took cues from) and, in my opinion, better than Arkham's (actually killing things may be why). Talion's cloak flutters amazingly realistically while Mordor has the duality of barren wasteland in one area, and lush fields of green in the other (executing both quite well). Positives: the game looks and plays a dream.

Shadow of Mordor got the first one halfway right, the third one completely right, but the second one not at all.

I mean, Lord of the Rings is my favourite movie series of all time, and that's mainly because of the adventure, the overlapping but separate plots, and the sense of mystery woven throughout. However, I became disappointed when I realised that two areas were all that the game was made up of (albeit fairly large ones). However, I became disappointed when I realised that I love the idea of this game, going into Mordor and making trouble for Sauron's forces.
