A total blast. One of the best games I've ever played. The combat makes you feel so badass and is SO intuitive, allowing you to choose your style of play (magic-casting wraith, swordsman ranger, or both) and switch it up in a matter of moments. The story is really exciting and ties into the lore of The Silmarillion in a really fun way, and the Nemesis System... God, the Nemesis System. It's incredible. There's nothing I can say about it that hasn't been said. It's perfect. It makes every Uruk feel real. The way they kill each other and are replaced so easily is such a good little commentary on the war machine. I can't wait to play the sequel.
