"Do NOT buy for PS3/360"
1 stars"

Hired it out the other day to try it out, since I'd played it on my laptop but wanted to try playing it on something that would run it a little better. The PS3 graphics looked like PC graphics set on lowest possible quality. There was MASSIVE anti-aliasing issues, shadow issues, huge load screens for every single cutscene, even in and out of your options screen would have a loading screen, and even after that loading textures would still have to load in, plus it couldn't even hold 30fps. If it were just the graphics not being the best, I could possibly overlook it, considering the game itself is great, but It felt like the game was lagging the entire time I was playing it. It seems to run fine, and look great on the newer gen consoles, but don't bother with it on older gen.

TL;DR PS3/360's can't handle it lowest possible graphics horrible anti-aliasing and shadows frequent and long loading screens can't hold 30fps, feels like it's always lagging

"Good game just not for Ps3"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Nothing against mighty ape or anything but do not buy this game! This is an AMAZING game however on Ps3 it is a mess. The game is one of the best of this generation (by that i'm referring to PS4). This game runs so badly on the Ps3 with graphics worse than games 3 years older and such bad frame rates. The loading screens are also excruciatingly long. I quit 5 hours in and don't intend on EVER returning. Save your money to get it on Ps4 or don't get it at all.

"Great game"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

There is a lag on some of the audio for the PS3 version but this is probabaly due for the release to be specifically made for the PS4. Other than that game play is excellent

"Fresh gameplay for the PS3"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game has its flaws – mainly graphics and some minor glitches (make sure you save often). HOWEVER It's the ‘freshisht’ style of gameplay for a long time on the PS3. Story links in with various themes of LOTR yet you have the ability to control orcs and build there hierachy for your aims and goals – Brilliant!
