I got myself a copy of this game and i really find it great, it beats any of the assassin's creeds by far. combat is very similar to the batman games (arkham city and asylum) it takes all the good things from assassin's creed like climbing and stealth but doesn't take any of the crap (trying to find and follow a target for a very long amount of time). There's a video on youtube about shadow of mordor vs. ac unity(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4thddzMKGCK).
What do you think of shadow of mordor and would you instead get ac unity?
