The Good: Runs smoothly, and looks great.
The Bad: Rince-repeat gameplay, no obvious save system, uninteresting side-quests, sparce story.

The terrain is uninspiring; I was so tired of the bland terrain of the first map that I was longing for a change, however the only imediate difference between the first two locations is foliage; for a moment I thought to myself that all they did was reuse the same map but put in some plants and water.
The gameplay overall is a cross between the combat style of the Batman games and the climbing of Assassin's Creed, however, the sparseness of the story missions means that the game is hours of killing quickly-repawning Uruk to complete uninteresting side-quests, before heading off to do the same for the main quests, which usually involve killing Uruk; rince-repeat.

Overall I do recommend this game if you can get it cheap, but I don't believe it deserves the high ratings it has been getting. Both the Batman and Assassin's Creed series offer a similar style game, but both those series are far more engaging.
