Hack n slash with RPG elements in that you get to decide how to make your character attributes.

Worth buying or should I just wait on Dragon Age?
|
Depends. They are going to be two totally different experiences.
A good way to sum up Mordor is Assassins Creed type exploration/objectives with free choice on character development. You can just go slaughter shit all day, or do the missions. The nemesis system is what makes the game. |

Only bad thing I can say right now is that the enviornment is a little bland. Being in Mordor, it's all ruins and black rocks everywhere, but I guess a second less cliche looking place opens up later. Still, the gameplay totally makes up for it. Combat uses the same counter/attack system as Batman and Assassins games, but it's a bit trickier here. I made the mistake of jumping right into large groups of enemies right from the start and ended up dying a few times. You'll be able to do that later, but at the start you have to rely on stealth which is really fun in itself anyway. |
I usually go the stealthy route the first play through. It sounds tight but I'll prolly get Dragon Age next month and pick this up in two years when it's $25 and the graphics and gameplay seem dated.
