Wow, when i first saw this game a ear ago for some reason it caught my attention, I like the Lord of the Rings movies and the idea of fighting some of those epic battles like Legolas and others would get into sounded really fun. So it shipped out quick and when I updated it and started playing, I played it for 5 hours straight... I could not put the controller down, and I'm going to order another controller because the game is so much fun. You get to fight orcs and fight them in a Batman Arkham combat style which fits this game perfectly. Killing the Orcs never gets old, and then there is something called the nemesis system, you might have heard about this system, it basically creates Bosses out of Orcs you fail to defeat in battle, and what is really cool is that if they kill you, they remember and taunt you when you come back. Oh yeah, you are basically immortal, some kind of man possessed by a ghost, that gives you Supernatural powers! So yeah the game gets even better even after you are a bad arse ranger, you become a Supernatural Ranger. This fighting system is so cool too, because it's like the battles are choreographed but they are all random, and the Orcs fight you and randomize their attacks. You can counter just like in Batman Arkham City etc. and you also get to shoot magic arrows, and ride something called carogaurs{sp} I don't know if I'm spelling that right, but they are like a tiger/gargoyle like from the first Ghostbusters movie. Oh and i played for about 4 hours before i found out you have this supernatural power called "drain". I was like whoa, i should have used that more, no wonder i never had magic arrows, and it's cool too because it stuns orcs. Now i've gotten my butt kicked a few times trying to get revenge on the Bosses, and they get stronger each time they kill you or they survive an encounter with you, lol. They also taunt you when you come across them again. You'll spend the first 2 hours learning how to be a badarse MMA sword fighter/Supernatural ghost fighter, and it's fun because soon you'll be creeping up on a gang of orcs, take out 1 or 2 with a stealth kill then finish the other 10 with your untouchable fighting skills. This game makes you feel like a badarse and it's pretty fun. It doesn't really get boring either because as more orc reinforcements pour in and you keep dropping them you feel like you are getting better and better at fighting them. You might be on the edge of your chair as you get surrounded by 10 orcs and you start going steven segal on them.
A definite buy! If you like fighting games, Batman games and Supernatural Lord of the Rings goodness check this out.
