In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game's real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want. Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset. Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know. The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.

 It's not a FUN game but its a blinking good one! July 9, 2008

Bored? got a few spare weeks\months to kill? then buy this game. It's great but its HUGE! especially if you are the sort of person who likes to do all the side quests and collect all the rare items etc. I loved it but did find that when i didnt play for a while - i tried to pick it back up where i started from and forgotten what i was doing. On the whole it is a cracking game! Lots of varied quests and places to go. Sometimes i found my graphics would glitch but its a small price to pay for some lovely detailed backgrounds and characters. It has the same format as most adventure games so its easy to pick up and go with it!. There are so many options like which guilds to join, are you 'good' or 'bad', do you follow the main quest or do all the little ones?....oh the list goes on!
 A must get for all people who own a 360 June 12, 2008
More Than 5*
One word to desribe this game: !!!!AMAZING!!!
The graphics is the example of next generation gaming. The best examples of graphics is the sky and transition of lighting, you can't beat it. But what makes this game stand out is its level of detail. Books upon books that is full of detail which people unfortunally never read. The world is extremly detailed, no part of a wood looks the same, and always unique. But what makes this different from other games is that all the conversations is fully spoken, not just text scrolling across the bottom. This is rare in these types of games and it is done exceptionally. The lip-syncing in this game is the BEST i have ever seen! And did you know that half of the data on the disk is sound?
I have had this game since it came out and i still play it at least every week, and this is rare for a video game.
There is so much to do, you will never get bored of this game. When you think the game is 'finished' you are wrong. After the main quest there are mini quests, items to colledct, explore the HUGE map, and countless other stuff to do (thats why I still play it). This game is amazing and it will be hard for The Elder Scrolls V to top it. Good work Bethesda
The only downside is the loading times, but this can be reduced by holding the 'a' button on startup.
A great game!
say good by to your free time April 27, 2008
all i will say about this game is that it is very VERY deep one of my friends (my 360 broke) has spent over fifty hours on the game and still does not have all the achevements and he ahs spent fifty hours on it.
VERY VERY ADDICTIVE!!!!!! March 10, 2008

this is one of the first titles i got for my xbox 360, had it for about a week now and ive been wanting to get most of the top titles. but i doubt thats going to happen for a good while....maybe a year or so.
this game is just packed with alot of things to do. you could spend hours just exploring the map, which has amazing visuals, seriously, go hang out by the lake at sunset (in the game...) and see for yourself. looks so real. yes it does have to load up the map as you go along but if you look past youll see just how well presented the visuals are. go hang out around ruins and find caves. the map has alot to offer and youll be going around for hours, unless you just get a horse.
the gameplay has alot of detail, you can be part of a race (elf, ork etc) which all have their own special abilities and attributes. choose your own special abilities and fighting styles. the combat system is tricky but you do get a tutorial at the start. use all sorts of weapons to either slay or smash the enemy, become an alchemist and create potions and poisons and interact with everyone in the enviroment which have amazing AI. you can join many groups called "guilds". be part of the good guys (fighters) or mages guild. all of them can help boost up your characters attributes.
there is so much to say about this game.too much. if you are a loner, cant pull a girl ever, hate the outdoors or just have no social life whatsoever then i recommend this title. if you aint any of what i mentioned, still buy this game. your 360 needs it!!!
Wasn't sure if I'd like it.......... February 18, 2008

But this game is great. Only got it a couple of days ago and couldn't put it down all weekend!
Now I'm not usually one for a game that takes it's time to get going, where you have to work your way and really develop your character to do anything of any significance. But for some reason I find this fantastically enjoyable and challenging.
I don't think this is a game where you can pick it up for 20 minuntes at a time - reason being that you become immersed in the Elder Scrolls.
A must buy for anyone - not just certain types of gamers (I usually get stuck in to sports games for example).
Go and buy it
