Wow

Like the title says, Wow. This game is amazing, graphically, and gameplay wise. Yes, graphics don't make the game, but they can help, as in this game.

First off, I'll talk about the graphics. The graphics are amazing, absolutely beautiful. Everytime I walk out of the Imperial City at about noon, I'm amazed by how beautiful everything is. The creators lavished all their skills upon the graphical creation of this game.

Now onto the gameplay. The gameplay is just as excellent. You can choose from many different races, and classes, and you can also create your own class if none of the ones you see fit your liking. Now, I'll admit the level system is a bit off, every time you get ten levels in your major skills, you have to sleep, and then you'll get to choose what skills you wish to put extra points into. Now, there are many guilds you can join, and if you join the Dark Brotherhood, the Assasians guild in the game, and complete enough quests for them, you can become a vampire, which I havn't done yet, but have heard it's awesome. Weapons, there're hundreds of them, from the everyday ordinary ones, to ones that are different, but powerful.

Basically, they've taken Morrowind, and given it a massive makeover and boost to make this absolutely amazing game.

HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET!!!!!

Seriously you would think that amazon would have the brains to at least disable voting on non released games in order to keep the rampaging fanboys from posting reviews for a game that is currently a month from actual release.

Get a life people.

BEST GAME EVER

The first time I saw this game I thought that it looks all right and when it came out for the X360 I wasn't really interested and then when I came around. I thought I could never get an Xbox 360 before summer is over I got it with a month to spare before school started and from the starter dungeon to as far as i'm in now I loved it. the graphics are GREAT and if you have a HDTV it looks even better.The gameplay is superb the combat is fun there are over one hundred ways to approach a battle and you can fight however way you want you can sneak up on them or just run up and fight them face-to-face.sound, is good the music can get annoying to some people but voice overs are good the actual peoples voices can be the same one ,over and over but rarely and while we're on the topic of NPC's [non playable character]the AI is great the people have schedules. and if you don't want the game because it's mostly a first person game you dont notice most of the time and if you really cant get over that there is a third person mode all im all even if you haven't fully decided yet get this game and I forgot to mention you create your own character from facial details to youre race

holy flying cheese sticks, this is great

ok this game was amazeing, it made me and another guy watching go oooowwwww. just looking out into the world was amazeing and the game play was not too shabby. i love steath kills with the bow and it is mad easy to lock pick now. and sneaking is acually fun woo hoo. and the water looks real and i don't even own an HD TV, so man if i did this game would blow my mind. so from kuwait to you this game is a must have for those who own the greatest system around XBOX 360. oh and game play is fun and much easier this time around and i even like first person view this time tooo and i hate First person games. thanks elder scrolls i love you

I have never played the game yet only because i just got my 360 today but i have watched my roomate play for the past month and a half and i got hooked just watching him play it! This game looked and played SO well it motivated me to get a 360, because before this no game out there really me to want to get it. now the only problems i have with the game is the part wher you become a vampire....i would have improved on that some-
1.While yes it does improve your stats, it is not a drastic increase, but in like all most every movie or game i have seen/played vampires were leagues above everything else when it came to strengh and speed, but i can understand why they didn't if they where trying to balance out the game to prevent the game from being too easy or hard depending on how you played it so i'll let this one slide.
2.You can only feed on sleeping people... come on are you telling me with all of the great stuff you have in the game you can only feed on PEOPLE WHO ARE ASLEEP...that is an insult to vampire lore everywhere. they should have made it where you can feed on anyone if they are awake or sleeping.
3.There is no negitives for not feeding...exept for people won't talk to you, how i would have done it to encourge proper role playing(this is an rpg after all) is the longer you go with out feeding your skills start to diminish and go down for your character is going crazy with hunger, but like number 1 i'll let that slide too because if you can only feed on sleeping people and you really only find them in town then it would be too hard to keep your character in check.
4.You can't create other vampires...which make no since at all because you don't start the game as a vampire but you become one. i just feel you should be able to do this, theyre could be several ways to do this too, i feel if you made them a vampire they belong to your coven and they shuold follow you around like your minions(but to keep a balance in check i'd say the number of minions you can have depends on your level of experence)
5.You can't turn a humen( or what ever race you want for that matter) into a personal servent to handle your business during the day time(no i don't expect him to do quest but you should be able to send him on very minor personal missions, but that could get complicated so i'll let that slide too)

other then the very small reason about the vampire parts i givthis game a 5/5 fun wise and a 4/5 overall, i can't wait to pick it up my self

This game is Ok but after 2 days of having it I sold it on ebay

I'm Don't like oblivion i'm not going to go over the top about how I don't like I'm going to just ut it simply with a bullet point for each reson you should not by this game

1. The graphics no matter how many people say they are good are dissipointing I know it's unbelivable but it's true.There good for how much their is to explore but it dosen't make you go thank god i didn't wait for the PS3 to come witch Ghost recon 3 and Fight Night Round 3 did.

2. It takes to long to do anything and is very confussing when you are given missions.

3. You have to put your TV in PAL60 format witch makes all your other games look weird so it'll be trawling through the 360 settings each i time you want to play any of your other game problem free.

4. This is stupid and you can only see how anoying it is when you have the game it's rats that can jump 20ft in the air when their feet are only half an inch long.

5. All the towns are bland boring and have hardly anyone in them.

6. Will I repeat Will turn you from a casual gamer to a Nerd and it's not a nice felling when you fell the nerdilitas creeping up on you. It may be a self-conciouse thing but everyone wonders so bear that in mind.

Please please don't get this game this review is from a mature gamer who just wants anyone else falling into what i call the review trap 'just because games get 9 or 10 out of 10 dosen't mean you should but them. This isn't a situation that your in like ghost recon its many boring situations all in one. You may have heard you can explore the many hills it's true but within 10 minits you'll have been killed this will mean you'll want to stay in the boring empty towns. Yawrrrrrrrrrrrrn thats about all I'v lost ?15 from buying it new and then selling it on ebay. The worst and apparently "The Best" game I have ever bought.

awesome

First of all I do own this game. I did not buy it, but won it in a contest. Let me state that the graphics are gorgeous and combat in buttery smooth. The controls are very responsive. I don't want to spoil the story but let me tell you that you will be blown away. Also the frame rate and camera are perfect. Once it comes out you will be blown away just like me.

Its not even out you people are liers!
