    Yes, its not the best looking game graphics-wise, that pretty undeniable. But with the latest patch and with most of the gameplay still being as fun as next-gen versions, this game is while not really the best on the ps3 is still not atrociously bad as some say it is.

    The worst port I've ever seen in my life, did not expect the quality of the XBOX One or PS4 but as the game was released is unplayable. At the end of the generation we all know the potential of video games, and can realize in SoW for PS3 is a game that is far from being finalized and is still being sold. Do not buy, spend far from it.

    This was utterly abysmal. Never in my life have I seen a port handled this poorly; and I've played Dark souls on PC. Where do I start?
    - Graphics: Graphics were stilted, with orcs who moved their mouths like goddamn muppets and hair more wooden than Pinocchio's. Textures would take ages to render, and pop in and out almost at random.

    - Graphics: Graphics were stilted, with orcs who moved their mouths like goddamn muppets and hair more wooden than Pinocchio's. Textures would take ages to render, and pop in and out almost at random.
    - Sound: The sound skipped constantly, and sometimes cut out entirely. Worse yet, occasionally it would grind to a literally screeching halt as I was treated to screaming static. That was a treat at 2 in the morning.
    - Framerate: The game lags like Crysis 3 on Windows 93. This is inexcusable for a professional company.
    - Nemesis system: Literally the game's primary selling point, the core of all the marketing was practically gutted for the current-gen version of the game.
    Don't buy this game. For the love of all that is holy; it froze up twice. Games don't freeze anymore, not unless you've been modding the crap out of them; we're past that, we're better than that. Apparently, freaking WB and Monolith didn't get the memo.
    Pro Tip, guys: If you're not going to port a game right, don't port it at all. For god's sake this was literally unplayable. -1/10

    SOM is a complete disaster. Muddy low-res textures that pop in and out at random, frequent stops in the game to load despite having to install it onto your hard-drive, choppy frame rate and sound/music skips, the list goes on...

    This game isn't even worthy of being considered a PS2 game, much less PS3. WB should be ashamed of asking for the full $60 price tag for this "Alpha" version.

    The sad thing is, I REALLY do enjoy what the game would offer if it worked properly, I was even willing to accept a watered down Nemesis system.. but this... god awful. Shame on whoever made this piece of crap. I haven't gone next gen yet but I will definitely cease buying games meant for next gen on last gen.

Unfortunately, the bugs with this game make it unplayable. This is an embarrassment. It takes more than 5 seconds to load the pause menu or return from the pause menu to gameplay. That alone is unforgivable as I've never in my life experienced a significant load time for a pause menu. Even still, I manage to ignore it and all the ugliness and choppiness for about 4 hours. Then when the low frame rate gave me a disadvantage against a certain enemy type because I couldn't dodge well enough, and when the sound came to a very literal screeching death, I had to throw in the towel. These problems are not limitation of the system - I've seen better looking open world games on PS3 and sound problems like this are problems that shouldn't exist ever in a purchased game - but simply due to laziness on the developer's part. I very much want to play this game, but I have been so offended by the audacity to release and charge consumers full price for this p.o.s. that I likely won't buy a working version for a different system.

    I think that this game is amazing! The only, only, only, ONLY, issue I've had with it is the loading time between the main pause menu and the game, and before missions.

Granted, I know that this last-gen is much different that the current-gen, but I've purposefully stayed ignorant to all current-gen news or anything. Ignorance is bliss, as someone that I could probably Google in a few seconds once said. It really is, though. That load time is worth the awesome gameplay. If you've played Batman: Arkham, then you will be awesome at this game, as it plays almost exactly like it. Running, climbing, combat (which is more fluid/but almost too easy). Of course, it's completely different than Batman. You can a bow and you behead and dismember Orcs. They added their own pretty clever special moves. There is one certain special move with the bow that is like nothing I've ever done in a video game.

    If it wasn't for the loading time and the fact that the game has no difficulty setting (or New Game Plus), I would have given it a 10. Maybe they will release a patch and I will change this review.

    -Truthful, Level-Headed, Objective- **In Order of Importance for Most Gamers**

    Gameplay: 9/10 ~ Character movements are responsive and fluid. Combat feels SOLID (not QUITE as smooth as Batman tho.) Stealth and climbing are fun, especially for creative gamers.

    Graphics: 8/10 ~ Cutscenes are gorgeous! There are complaints of dull, flat, or muddy textures and/or color palettes...HOWEVER, IF gamma filter is set properly (aka in-game brightness adjustment) and any HDTV with bright whites/dark blacks/vibrant color is used...than hue, tone, and vibrancy abound.
    **NOTE** >For me it was 3/4 of the way to right *or equal to* 75% bright<
    Yes, Textures are for sure lacking for the most part. But, don't get things twisted...some are pretty well done. While honestly though, others look like some third party, "low budget", "Launch Title" technology for the ~ahem~ PS*2

    Replayability:10/10 ~ Wow, The Nemesis System! IGN, EGM, even PSM said "PS4 and XboxOne are only next-gen when paired with these kinds of systems... Nemesis being the first and only so far!" "You can play through as many times as you want and LITERALLY never repeat the same experience!" Nemesis AI is being reported at a somewhat reduced capability. The majority of estimates place the Nemesis System onPS3 @ 70-80%. That being considered, it is still revolutionary!

    Overall:Really good, fun game! if you like Assassin Creed, Batman: Arkham games, even fallout.....this is the perfect blend of those!

    Don't listen to negative hype! 10 hours gameplay = one glitch. If you been waiting on this, but don't have PS4/xbox1 yet, this game is WELL WORTH IT!

For example, when an Uruk talks to you, their lips move. Their lips, not their mouths. And that's the LEAST broken animation in the game!), serious game breaking lag and stuttering, and I hear the last boss is going to be unbeatable thanks to a glitch that occurs.
    I'm not kidding, this port shows a serious lack of polish. The kicker is that they delayed THIS version to avoid these issues. There should be a recall for this port, because I seriously doubt they will pay any mind to last gen players and send a patch.
    I really think legal action can be done here, as this product is unfinished and unplayable for most. I truly can't see someone playing something like this for long periods of time. It's that bad.
