To content the game I do not need anything more to write, the others have done enough. Who a fan of Lord of the Rings and the Batman: Arkham series is definitely not to be put off by the 3 1/2 stars in the overall assessment itself. The story is perhaps a little thin, the game itself is but the hammer and is great fun. I've played to date more than 20 hours and am only at 49% fulfillment of tasks (ie the amount is more than sufficient). Especially the game when a nemesis has developed, that is to say an Orc has you killed several times and is already being at the top of the hierarchy. At some point you developed then as a hatred for this one orc that you simply MUST get him and everything sets off to get him. The game creates such a "binding" to his opponents that I have never experienced. Definitely refreshingly different times to fight not only enemies a la grouse.
Finally something about the future, the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor in quasi all leaderboards from 2014 emerges. So also a strong buy recommendation !!!!!
