So players stepping into 'Shadow of Mordor' should find it both familiar to play and less like to cause player death, which is good since dying has its penalties.

Talion can jump from the highest towers into the darkest fires and not break a sweat. The combat system may be inspired the WB's own 'Batman: Arkham,' but with all of the killing, it plays more like 'Assassin's Creed.' Unlike an Assassin who can be overwhelmed by the never-ending enemies of 'Black Flag' or the caped crusader, who is always moments away from collapsing under an onslaught of bullets, 'Shadow of Mordor's Talion is powered by the wraith like Celebrimbor, and can stand toe to toe with dozens of enemies.

For those that haven't yet spent much time with 'Shadow of Mordor' or its genre mates, the game plays much like a direct descendant of 'Assassin's Creed' and the 'Batman: Arkham' series. and Monolith have scored big with ' Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor,' combining elements of a popular sub-genre (third-person stealth action) with some fresh ground in a beloved license.
