Awesome Huge improvements over Morrowind. Load times and freezing have been cut back. The graphics are much better and all the characters have audible voices. The journal is easy to keep track of and the map makes it easy to travel and find quest objectives. I can remember in Morrowing goign through my journal to find information about a quest I may not have completed for a very long time. I also got lost a lot or didn;t know what to do in Morrowing. Oblivion makes it much easier. Magic is alos more useful, actually almost a necessity in this game. Oblivion does make it harder to level up then Morrowind and adds a level curve to monsters so they become harder. Oblivion doesn't have as many factions and its main story isn't as interesting as Morrowinds, but its probably one of the best RPGs to get on the XBOX 360.
Excellent Service A stunning game, looks massive, impressive graphics, and there's always a sense of excitement. Also, the service was excellent. Was securely packed, and was factory sealed. 5 star ***** rating.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shiver me timbers! Has the world gone mad lately? Why, yes! Yes, it has. Welcome to the Shivering Isles, the latest expansion of last year's title, Oblivion. Inside lie the realms of Dementia and Mania, granting players a madeness-tinged title filled with funny quips and quirks. Like Oblivion's previous expansion, the Knights Of The Nine, Shivering Isles is all about meaningful choices. You have dozen of quests, including strange ones such as helping a person commit suicide, or driving trapped adventurers mad in order to save your own life. Deciding how to complete the dozens of quests give drastically different (but equally powerful) rewards - from new armour to weapons to titles for players.
Players starting new characters will be pleased to know that the Shivering Isles scale the monsters and treasure levels to their character levels much better than other parts of the game's world. By gathering various new ores and other alchemy items found in the psychedelic wilds of the Shivering Isles, players can craft new armour and weapons which come ready with enchantments. These also progressively level up as players forge them anew, higher up the game ladder. Currently, there is a bug which will cause the entire game to lock up after a certain amount of time, whether or not players have visited the expansion's islands. On high-end computers, this may be as early as two hours after installation of the expansion.
A patch is in the works, but until that is announced on both the 360's Marketplace news section and online, it may be wiser to hold off buying this game. With the fix, though, quirky quests and funny content makes it an excellent expansion for those tired of the serious and realistic setting of Oblivion where they can visit for some of the most memorable characters in the game yet.
Excellent Service And a great game. Played this game through in German but wanted to play the English version as well. Thanks to this site I could pick up a copy at a nice price, and it was worth it.
The English version of this game is MUCH better than the German version. I like the sound of German in medieval style games but unfortunately the sound in the German version can be very choppy at times. Thankfully this English version is perfect.
