I am a fan of the Lord of the Rings franchise, and I have not been disappointed. As mentioned, it is a little buggy at places but it's not constant and it's easily over looked for the fantastic game it is, and I'm sure they will be taken out with an update. I don't want to leave spoilers so I'm not gonna mention anymore. I find this the most fun as you will acquire a captain that will repetitively come back, no matter how many times you've killed them and they will become your arch-nemesis. They're gonna come back, you're fighting Sauron's army, there's necromancers. The nemesis system is what every game should have, it brings lots of fun while playing, similarly to Metal Gear Solid that uses the memory card to quote games that have recently been played, the captains/warcheifs will remember your last battle with them and they will develop wounds and scars to how they were killed. The graphics are outstanding while considering the draw distance, which benefits when graphing plans and strategy when either fighting your way through the Uruk-hai's strongholds to get to the captains or simply go in stealth and kill the rangers to remain hidden before carrying out a stealth kill on a captain. Yes, this game is buggy in some places and you accidentally savagely kill an Uruk-hai beneath you rather than on the ledge, but this game is great fun. I have listed this game with 5 stars as it is what it deserves. If you happen to have or are thinking of getting an Xbox One, do not buy the 360 version - it is only 75% of the game it is on the Xboc One!
Loading times are pretty long and it can take a while for the graphics to "pop in" when you load - this is a drawback of being essentially a downgraded game form the Xbox One. Also, yeah, you will get annoyed that that dude who you PUT YOUR SWORD RIGHT THROUGH THE SKULL OF is back (AGAIN), still in charge and somehow not reduced to a dribbling vegetable. but completely susceptible to a long range arrow through the skull for the "final round". If you get wise to this early on you should kill them the most difficult way first e.g. Some irritation in that the recurring Orcs develop SPECIFICALLY to resist the way you've defeated them before, knocking off your options one by one until you end up just having to defeat them in open combat and you end up with all the bosses being ultimately the same.
