5 out of 5 stars nice   September 16, 2008
good game, i got a little to addicted for a while though, got more than 100 hours (including sidequests)


5 out of 5 stars great game but...   September 4, 2008
you should buy this game if you want a openended rpg or a quality game. the only thing is it was made as a sequel to a pc game. the menus and interface are relatively easy to use but much better on the pc. if you have the rig to run it, get it for the pc. if you dont, it works just fine on the xbox. just be aware that all the spell menus and stuff are harder to navigate with a gamepad than a mouse and keyboard. you'll prolly love this game


5 out of 5 stars Truly Awesome RPG   August 24, 2008
As an adult gamer, I truly enjoyed this game. The breadth and depth of everything from character creation, character evolution, the Oblivion world and gameplay are remarkable. I highly recommend this game to anybody whose looking to kill more than 100 hours on a game.


2 out of 5 stars inventory control, plus weapons   August 3, 2008
i'm a mature gameplayer who recently bought a dozen videogames and an xbox 360 just to see how the technology has evolved. compared to other games i've tried i found this game to be boring and in parts annoying, and after a few returns have not been able to finish it. for me the core problem is the insane level of depth and arcana you are required to manage -- a cluttered map; a panoply of characters, tribes and evil thingies; a menu for all your clothes and armor, another for your spells, another for your weapons, another for your trinket odds and ends; a self designed avatar; several maps; powers and attributes that come and go -- it's like managing a special needs preschooler. (and this is a *game*?) and then there's the open ended scripting of a plot that is so complicated you need to take notes to keep track of it all. the visual design is ok but i found it insufferable to interact with the character "talking heads", whose mouths are really annoying to look at as they patter the lamest interactive dialog of any game i have tried. and the action elements are uncompelling and don't require much skill to accomplish. the only grace is the landscape rendering, which is fun just to roam through and leads to all kinds of random, sometimes bizarre encounters.


5 out of 5 stars Casey's Dad's Review   July 28, 2008
I became interested in this game while watching my son, Casey, play. I began playing myself shorly thereafter. It is a great game and the shipping time from Amazon was very quick.

The game has given both Casey and myself hours of enjoyment.
