I wish more games would incorporate it's nemesis system or something similar. Also remember playing MT Punchout as a kid. Mike seemed impossible until you figured out the patterns. Read something in the last year about how they had certain indicators you would watch in the background, but it wasn't made obvious in game.
The Nemesis system is incredible, it adds a ton of depth to the game.
Heck ya. It's brilliant. I'll be fighting a chief and some scrub orc will get the last hit on me, then suddenly I'm trying to hunt him down the rest of the game. It makes it frustrating, but also fun. Sometimes I get annoyed with some of the orcs coming back, but that's part of what keeps it interesting. They literally do become a "nemesis." Love the whole mind control and espionage aspect of it too.
The only thing that didn't impress me much were some of the Shelob memories, but I like how they incorporated her into the story.
