The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

After reading all the Game of the Year reviews for ESV Skyrim it was with a LOT of anticipation that I played Skyrim. Final judgement? It was good and having only played through the main campaign in about 20 hours, I feel there is a LOT left to go back and clear, more shouts to learn etc. but I am really waiting for dawngauard on ps3 to come out before I go back in again. Also: having waited like 6 months after the game come on ps3 I didn't find too many glitches to put off my play experience. Still no horseback combat yet because the update hasn't come out on ps3 yet, but dawnguard should have it I hope. Final analysis, this is the AAA game, totally huge, totally expensive and my being able to pick it up 2nd hand at gamespot really explains a lot about what is wrong in the game industry today.
