So, the minds behind the upcoming 'Lord of the Rings' game just released a gameplay walkthrough video. I think this will be a great game as it mixes a lot of different play styles from known games (AC, Batman Arkham games,..) with their own unique ideas (wraith powers and middle-earth universe). I'm really looking forward to this game as I am a Lotr fan and I think it will broaden the sneak games a bit, a 'genre' which was (over the last years) mainly dominated by Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell.
What is everyone thinking about the video and demonstrated gameplay? Do you like it? Yes? No? Let's have a little discussion.
If I may add, this game was the inspiration for my latest character build, the Wraith Ranger, if you want you can check it out on my profile.

Man, the game looked amazing! I won't consider it a stealth game, but I liked what I saw and that previous experience system looks sick! I'm a bit confused about how they manage multiple playthroughs and open world, since in theory, open world should grant you a ton of gameplay time to not to bother with another playthrough.
Only way I can think of is decisions, which affect the game/quests/npcs. Perhaps the player needs to choose to give the wraith more control (evil playthrough) or Talion (good playthrough) and completing the game in either the Wraith's or Talion's favour. Either way I'm stoked for this game since the first announcement

I watched the first gameplay of it and it seems very good. But i noticed, that there is climbing and jumping like in The Prince of Persia. I hope this is not too much, because in The Prince of Persia everything is climbing and jumping and if there were more fighting and blood it would be more interesting. But Shadow of Mordor looks excellent for me.
