Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor - Xbox 360

Shadow of Mordor is one of those games that will have you exploring every nook and cranny that the world has to offer, battling countless captains and throwing Uruk armies against each other for pleasure. The game is remarkably big for an open world action game and has quite a bit to offer ranging from an interesting and inventive nemesis system to a detailed and fluid combat feel and a massive amount of lore that rather than coming off as forced collectibles, adds quality content to your play. Just a quick aside, the nemesis system I referred to is a key aspect to the world of Shadow of Mordor and adds an interesting and in-depth look into how we normally perceive enemies and their relation to the player while moving through the story. Without going into too much detail on the story and plot I will say that while the possibility for an amazing story exists, the general arch is a bit weak for a Lord of the Rings related game. That's not to say you will enjoy it, revel in the moments, and lust for more--but rather, you will be left with some questions that you wish were answered along the way instead of left up to your imagination. The 360 version does have quite a few downsides when compared to the both Xbox One versions. You will be fighting heavily with freezing and load times as well as problems with graphics and rendering. Here is a broad list of the pros and cons.Breaking it down I look at Shadow of Mordor like this:Pros:Fluid combat system.Enjoyable and worth wild collectibles.Engaging plot-line and characters.Detailed environments that engross the player.A nemesis system that is revolutionary and incredibly enjoyable.A fun and enjoyable, new route on Lord of the Rings.Cons:A story that could have used more time spent with it.Some interesting content found in the collectibles that was not brought to fruition in game.Glitches and errors with loading plague the 360 version of the game.Characters and landscapes often times load in very block-like forms instead of fluid, realistic images.The load times are extremely rough. You load every time you enter the map, hit the start button, travel somewhere, enter a cutscene, ect. It becomes very cumbersome.While the glitching and the rough graphics hamper this version of Shadow of Mordor, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and actually played all three versions available to Xbox gamers (Game of the Year edition, regular Xbox One edition, Xbox 360 version) and completed all three to the maximum gamerscore. It truly was a rewarding and invigorating experience even on the 360 and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some fun in a Lord of the Rings setting, or anyone searching for a fun new action game.4 Black Gate Defended Stars out of 5!

I love this game. Though there are a number of issues with this port. Here is my full-fledged review.UPDATE 11/21/14: Pre-Order codes now work.Basic Known Issues:As most of you know the pre-order codes do not work. There is also an installation issue where you have to go offline to install the game. Another thing on which I have not seen too much in reviews is the world & character textures do not load well. I have seen some problems with cutscenes; when you go into feasts for instance. It'll show a tad bit of what's going on, and then it goes back to the loading screen, then it shows more, back to the loading screen, etc. etc. It can be very annoying after a while.Graphics:There are some bad textures that'll take a tiny bit longer to load after the loading screens. Also noticeable is the bad anti aliasing. If you're looking for good graphics they didn't put too much pride in this port, and it's a very sorry one. Especially seeing as how the port version of this game was pushed back for "polishing."Gameplay:Not too much to say here besides that the gameplay is very awesome. The combat is very fluid & fun. It's incredibly satisfying killing all of the orcs, more-so than in previous LotR video games.Other Comments:If you're into a game with a fantastic story & gameplay and not also looking for anything that looks good graphics wise then you'll like this game, I promise. The nemesis system isn't too bad and not 'as' dumbed down in this port version as you may have thought it would of been. There's still a fairly nice randomization in looks, voices, names, etc.Overall:The game itself is 5 stars, however this port I will give a 4. Even though the 'last-gen' release has its issues, I feel that it's a good enough and playable enough game to overlook the existing problems. According to WB Games there will be an upcoming patch that'll hopefully fix a plethora of the issues. This last-gen version of the game also lacks any of the season pass/dlc releases that are on the next-gen consoles. If you're getting a next-gen console, just wait and get the game there. It'll be a far more enjoyable and worthwhile experience. But for those that are still keeping to their last-gen consoles, this is still an alright buy and will provide many hours of fun.

Bought as a gift, my brother loves it!

Great game,says my boyfriend :-) and I'm happy it arrived earlier than expected. Thank you

Si han jugado Batman Arkham Asylum y Assassins Creed (los 3 primeros juegos) de inmediato se sentirán identificados con la evolución de la historia y la mecánica de juego... Combos con diferentes armas, puntos de habilidad y mejoras tras enfrentamientos, desbloqueo de misiones tras subir y saltar de torres altas.No soy seguidor del señor de los anillos sin embargo la historia de juego es entendible. Los enemigos tienen diferentes habilidades lo cual se agradece ya que hay que intercambiar armas en plena pelea por lo que el juego no se torna aburrido después de tiempo.Buenos gráficos y jugabilidad pero es notorio que es un juego de mediados del 2014NOTAS.Es necesario tener un medio de almacenamiento en la consola para instalar el disco 1 y poder jugar con el disco 2Compre el juego vía Amazon EE UU. Me llegó la edición Hecho en México y el juego con diálogos y subtitulos en español

normalmente no juego muchos videojuegos , este en específíco me tiene picadísima excelente historia y misiones

En general es un juego entretenido y que da pie ara explorar el mundo de la tierra media. Llego sin problemas.
