Shadow of Mordor is pretty good.
It's nice. Pretty much worth it.
You can line up with death threats and the like, but I was never a LotR fan. I do acknowledge the trilogy is what some would call epic.
But I was trying to justify the Wii U in my search. My 3DS has miles of games I'm itching to play... The Wii U, maybe three. That's my problem.
"I am... Sheik. One of the last of the Sheikah tribe..."
Should be cheap enough too as it's multi platform.
Spoiler warning:
Some people have said it looks better on Wii U (higher resolution) compared to PS3/360, and then others note there are frame rate drops sometimesBut I'm pretty sure that happens with the other 2 consoles anyway (like combat with a heap of people at once). Gamepad can be used for some things, I think I read one guy saying you can play the whole game just using it but I haven't checked that out to see if it's correct.
Spoiler warning:
Almost chopped off half of my fingertip yesterday, and was close to ending up with no fingerprint on one finger. Hurts. A lot.![]()
