To be honest, this is one a few games which were a total disappointment for me. I bought it while it was on sale, and expected a mediocre story and a good gameplay mechanic combined the the cool Nemesis-system. I was wrong. The story is almost non-existent and adds no value to the LOTR universe. Gameplay-wise it's repetitive: fight against hordes of orcs over and over again only to see their count grow with time. I honestly don't get it: I don't want to fight all the time, it feels like my actions have no effect, if I kill 10 orcs and then the next mob comes in. Unfortunately this means the Nemesis-system cannot show any strengths to me in this combination, but at least it was the only thing which was positive for me (okay, the soundtrack is not bad either). This is all very subjective and as someone who comes from the Witcher games or Gothic, this may be no the right game.
