This first/third person, free-roam RPG is just about perfect.
Even though this game is a fairly old game originally made for PC platforms, that doesn't take away how great a game it turned out to be for the PlayStation 3 and the xbox360.
+ Features celebrity Liam Neeson as The Emperor.
+ Excellent voice acting, both very dramatic and very comedic.
+ Holds a vast amount of memorable quotes.
+ A musical soundtrack that won't disappoint.
+ Superb storyline.
+ Over 200 side-quests not related to the story for you to obtain and complete, plus an additional world added by the downloadable add-on expansion pack, "The Shivering Isles." (Note: In order to play the side-quests, you may want to stay away from the main story quests.)
+ Extremely large map for you to journey through, with hundreds of locations to be discovered and added to your map.
+ Whether it's items you drop, people/animals you kill, or arrows you shoot, all these will amazingly stay on the map and won't disappear, no matter how many hours you play or where you travel.
+ Surprisingly stunning graphics/textures for it's time.
+ Offers button mapping for your own personalized controller layout.
+ Well-built in-game menu holds everything you need at a push of a button.
+ Literally countless things to do, whether it's hunting with archery, shopping at stores, learning spells, making potions, collecting ingredients, killing or stealing, upgrading your skills and so much more.
- Save often and take advantage of the "autosave" feature, because this game has very few, but well-known glitches & broken quests that may lead to a restart of a saved game.
Overall Rating: 10/10
