played about an hour tonight. The assassins creed/arkham elements are heavy--basically feels like a combination of the two with a LOTR spin.
I find running/maneuvering is less fluid than AC. combat reminds me of arkam, but more enjoyable for me.
So far, I have found the game to be an easy button masher. I spent most of my time mashing X and Y to fight off hoards of orcs. If there is a captain in the horde, it makes it more difficult but you can easily avoid getting hit by him thanks to the counter ability.
I literally spent 10 minutes fighting off 20+ orcs surrounding me by just mashing X with the frequent Y counter attack. I barely got touched. I havent encountered any captains that called on me to me to drastically change my strategy yet.
I'm not a fan of button mashers, but i still find the game fun. I can only play it in spurts though before I gets repetitive to me or tired thumb.

Early on it isn't very hard but from what I have read the difficulty does go up. Climbing is much better than AC, Orcs are everywhere, atmosphere of this game is great, graphics are gorgeous, and sound is great.

i only got to play through the first mission with the slaver, but holy shite was it fun. I love sneaking around, and combat took some getting used to (because I am used to the precise timing of arkham)
while nothing can beat the combat in arkham this game has one thing that's so awesome and makes things more fluid...you can use a finisher combo on grounded opponents
graphics are gorgeous, the tone is spot on, I haven't really done too much exploring. Hopefully today I can beat my wife (zing) home from work and put in a solid 45 minutes to an hour, but I usually work a little late
