Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (Special Edition Steelbook)

I'm not a fan of Lord of the Rings and had waived the purchase of the game.
But I have it then loaned to me by a mate because I have really enjoyed the gameplay videos and I just wanted to see if the game can hold as much as it promises in the whole video (Most say trailer / gameplay of something else and get the final product not opposed).

The vision: It is a simple story and I must honestly confess that I have not looked at any sequence but I think I know yet what is at stake in the game and therefore can talk about it.
The family is killed by someone, thus it is searching for the perpetrators to avenge his family, and point out.

Control: The control system is not mature properly in some situations. Every now and then the character does not run as you would want and the camera is now and then aligned completely wrong in the fight can be the most annoying.
The controls are easy to pick up and fight if then times everything fits properly liquid.
There are many actions you can perform (skills) and over which one has control of the situation (in many games you have to press too many different combinations and get quickly out of the concept), but here it works perfectly.
It might be a little refine but by and large the control is quite good.

Area information: There are 2 sections in which to play and I would no pixelation noticed while playing.
You can almost keep up and from there out and flatten enemies everywhere.
The game world is now not huge but for my taste it was fine so quite accurately (not too big and not too small).
And with the right mounts can be put quickly back a large distance.

On the whole, I really enjoyed the game and I would say that I would look forward to a successor.
I am not a Lord of the Rings fan, but then the game has yet to convince me.
A really good and coordinated action adventure ...
