I suppose that's the price for strict adherence to canon.įor example, if you burned the poor sucker, he will show up with scars the next time and whine about your talent for resurrection. It's well acted, and the dialogue is written in the parlance of Peter Jackson's movies, but the plot never becomes interesting, beyond its nods to The Silmarillion. Voice actor Liam O'Brien does a superb Andy Serkis impression, but his inclusion feels superfluous. He shows up immediately to remind you that, yes, this is the world of Middle-Earth. It's no spoiler that Gollum is in the game. Tolkien buffs may delight in (or recoil from) this original yarn, depending on their predilection for references and cameos.
After a wraith's spirit resurrects and possesses him, the superpowered Talion wreaks havoc among the Sauron's orc army across the dreary plains of Mordor. Set about 80 years before The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Shadow of Mordor follows Talion and his quest for revenge after he and his family are killed by Sauron's dark forces. That thrill soon turns cheap as Shadow of Mordor answers the question: "Can combat ruin a video game?" And the answer is, "yes." And hunting and battling the orc hordes of Mordor can be a thrill. It looks excellent, even with the graphics settings on low. On the surface, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor ($49.99) has the makings of a fine PC game.
