Frodo Baggins receives a letter from Gandalf the Grey, telling him to leave at once for Rivendell and to keep an eye out for a friend on the road by the name of Strider.

He also warns that the servants of the Enemy are in pursuit and have taken the guise of riders in black.

Tolkien's War in Middle Earth is the 16-bit game with additional adventuring features compared to the 8-bit version, loosely depicting the events of the One Ring from the Shire to Mt.

The game starts with the three hobbits: Frodo, Sam, and Pippin surrounded by nine individual units of Nazgul near the Shire.

Although the first task is to travel to Rivendell, the player is free to decide how heroes and armies progress, despite the in-game conventional storyline.

Victory is attained by successfully sending the ring bearer to Mt.

Doom - how this accomplished is completely up to the player.

Additionally, any hero including Frodo may die during combat.

If the ring bearer dies during combat, a new ring bearer (if they survive the encounter) will be appointed to carry the One Ring.

If the enemy gains possession of the One Ring is taken by the enemy, they will attempt to reach Barad-Dur, Sauron's fortress in the heart of Mordor, which will result in the player's defeat.

The player will also lose if the enemy manages to seize three major allied citadels.

Gameplay is divided in accordance to the three different map levels used: Full Map Level Consists of the whole map of Middle Earth on one screen.

All heroes and armies will be shown as colored dots; blue as allied units, green as neutral units, and red as enemy uni

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor [Steelbook] for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor [Steelbook] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2014.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor [Steelbook], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
