The ultimate RPG adventure.

User Rating: 10 | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim X360
Have you ever fantasized about wielding a magical sword, throwing a fireball spell, going into battle against undead sorcerers and flying dragons that breathe a fiery death onto you? Ever watched an aurora borealis from the atop the highest of peaks during a winter night or swim at the foot of high, majestic waterfalls? In SKYRIM, now you can, and more.

My last outing in the Elder Scrolls universe was with Daggerfall on my old Amiga computer. Just to say how far the series has grown and evolved. SKYRIM is so much more than I anticipated, more complex, more engaging, more visually stunning. If, like me, you love to immerse yourself in a fantasy world filled with sword and sorcery first and foremost, rather than simple hacking and slashing, then this game is it.

So much to do, so much to explore... There is a story to follow, or you can simply put on your favorite armor and go about exploring every nook and cranny of this immense play setting (consider a 100+ hours of gameplay). A worthwhile enjoyement for your penny!

Pros: Beautiful, breathtaking and surprising immersive world, totally free to explore if you choose to do so, vast character development.

Cons: Some glitches here and there - don't forget to save often! - but nothing some future updates could not correct.

WOW moment(s): Your first dragon shout, your first dragon sighting, your first dragon kill... and a whole world that feels natural and alive.
