Although I didn't find taking out ten archers with headshots was much fo a challenge, I found wicked trials in battling fifty uruks in melee combat and assassinating guards without setting off an alarm. There were even events that put the three main forms of offense to the test, tossing me into thrilling scenarios that sometimes seemed hopeless. I always had a task to accomplish, be it as simple as gathering artifacts or herbs, bumping off fauna as per "Hunting Challenges," or perhaps rescuing fellow human beings in Outcast missions. Personally, I seldom found myself nodding off or succumbing to boredom. As in the aforementioned Ubisoft hit, this adventure offers plenty of stealth scenes supplemented by generous helpings of smooth melee combat, actually useful long ranged capabilities, very light RPG elements and loads of side quests for variety. Shadow of Mordor is not just a very well done Assassin's Creed clone, but it's also the only video game bearing the "Lord of the Rings" brand that I've come to enjoy. Of course, I also enjoyed drawing my sword and chopping up scores of evil soldiers as well. My favorite activity, though, was spying on small encampments of Sauron's goons and plucking off a single arrow, landing a headshot and running away whilst the others wondered who the hell killed their buddy.

Other times I'd sprint across the plains, charging full speed into any brutes I happened upon and stealth killing them as I approached. From there I'd locate a lofty place to laze and watch as the guards in the vicinity screamed and scrambled in horror. Now and then I'd sneak into their strongholds to shoot the doors off of their cages and let loose imprisoned caragors, cat-like beasts that were not previously part of the 'Lord of the Rings' mythos. You see, I loved trolling (pun kind of intended) uruks and orcs more than anything. I was a bit of a prick when I played Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
