Unfortunately, neither fish nor fowl ...

Unfortunately, I also have to give a rather negative review, even if something many fans of the game always regurgitates sour. But even if Mordor shade quite a lot of fun, so much frustration potential, it also offers.

:: Control ::
The controller is for me personally, to say the least, disastrous. How many have already written here, the gameplay is very reminiscent of Assassin's Creed. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the control. For almost every action you have to press multiple keys simultaneously or is overwhelmed in the hectic battles with a variety of Orcs because of overloaded control. Finally one smashes again the same button until the enemy is dead or lying on the ground. Is he on the floor, you have to provide him with a key combination the rest, but this is often simply not working. It has all too often feel the character does not do what you want and dies by quickly. Pure Frustration!

:: Story ::
Since I had the game just borrowed, I could not quite leided play through it. But a truly engrossing storyline saw until then (unfortunately) different. Too often repeated in the core quests, it is all about orcs and everything takes place just before the gates of Mordor, which provides on time too little variety. The story itself has this little surprising, even dive down to Gollum no familiar characters on. Everything is not bad, but not very varied

:: Graphics ::
The graphics are neither fish nor fowl. The orcs and their captains are decorated very nicely. The vision is not breathtaking, but okay. Lighting and weather effects are beautiful to look at. Nevertheless, everything seems to be sterile, lifeless and not very varied. The engine seems not quite up to date, even though the orc captains were still modeled as grim and detailed. It reminds rather of a PS3 game.

:: Gameplay ::
Again, unfortunately, too little variety. Man always fights only against orcs and rarely alone against a. The map seems overloaded with orcs. Constantly you get into fights with a whole horde of orcs, which is why you often have to take flight in panic. Only if one on the back of this "Rhenozeros" rides (sry to the fans, comes to mind is no longer the name of a), there is very good chance. Also you often have to kill opponent while sneaking, but they must not similar to the arch kill, which is why you will often discovered inadvertently. The difficulty level can not be adjusted.

All in all I would say the game is more something for fans of orcs and the LotR series. Fans of Schleich games where you can climb up any objects are lifted considerably better by the controller and the camera work in Assassin's Creed. However, if you also liked Batman and the control klarkam there can probably access here. However, there the levels and the environment for my personal taste were designed beautiful. In spite of all I could tie the game a few hours to the TV, even though I would have liked more than once threw my controller in frustration on the wall.
