The Bottom Line:

"Instant classic"

Skyrim is a lot darker than its previous game (Oblivion) and you play a Dragonborn warrior who kills every single dragon and absorbs their souls. Your special ability's are to use different shouts to help kill your enemies which kind of works but its not as effective as using magic powers such flames or shock. There's plenty to explore such as dungeons climbing up very high mountains, entering in fairly big towns and villages. Some reasonably good boss fights like the giant trolls with their big wooden clubs and various other monsters. Occasionally their are some puzzles to solve but can be a bit tedious at times. The story is not its strong point, but the exploration is and and the combat system. Your Dragonborn can kill enemies with two weapons in their hands or use one hand. Their are some similarities with Fallout 3 in their like the close up kills. The graphics looks great with the characters and some of the environments however its a lot darker than Oblivion. Loads of objectives to complete including main missions and side quests too. Skyrim has a lot to offer with plenty of exploration and simply looks amazing!
