Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is an action-adventure RPG for the Xbox 360. Set in the Tolkien-inspired universe, players become Talion, a vengeful ranger bonded with a wraith. The game features an innovative Nemesis System, which personalizes enemy interactions and remembers the player's actions, shaping unique narratives. Combat is a mix of stealth, melee, and ranged attacks, allowing for strategic takedowns of Sauron's army in an open-world environment, bridging the gap between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
