Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor isn’t this. Their 2012 release of Guardians of Middle Earth on PS3 and Xbox 360 was a fairly cookie cutter attempt at jumping into the MOBA genre, the hook being that players could use characters from the popular series of movies and books. While the game was received favorably, including our review, Guardians of Middle Earth felt more like a game that was made to capitalize on the impending theatrical release of The Hobbit. Monolith is no stranger to the Lord of Rings series. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one part wholly familiar retread into story telling and open world gameplay conventions, and one part a new and refreshing injection of great ideas and underlying systems. The other is something that we haven’t quite seen before, it’s a new and impressive system of AI called “The Nemesis System”, which populates Mordor with an unprecedented level of intelligent characters and a hierarchy of enemies to tackle. In fact, Monolith Productions takes many aspects of these two popular game franchises and makes them their own for Shadow of Mordor.
One is an open-world game, the likes of which is built on the pillars of other popular open-world franchises like Assassin’s Creed or the Batman: Arkham series. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a tale of two games.
