I thought it was OK. The developers tried to do too much but couldn't exactly deliver on everything. The environment is huge, which is good, but the graphics are dated and creatures and enemies look ridiculously bad. There are a lot of different races and classes to choose from and each will be good at certain things. There are a lot of spells and armor and weapons, unfortunately it will take an extremely long time to raise levels because its extremely hard to hit things when you start off. Which brings me to my next point. Why would you make a game where combat is a primary aspect of gameplay and then make it suck so bad? I am glad to say that Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion fixed the combat and that game is great. But this isn't Oblivion is it? There are a lot of guilds and factions and quests but the game is really bad before it gets better. If you have patience you should check it out. I give it a 6, out of 10.

I thought that this game was good. The wide open world, graphics and audio was very good. What i didn't like, and it may be just me, but i couldn't seem to fight any enemies. When I would get attacked I could only hit them with my sword like once and then no matter how many times i swung at them i couldn't hit them. I kept getting killed by like these little cave rats. But other than my blunders the game was very good and I would reccomend renting it because it is definitely worth it

Ok This just wasn't my type of game. but the controls was just to crude for me. One button to do the same attack. I just couldnt get into it. It reminded me of playing my NES. Just with better graphics. I couldn't figure out where to find the things required to fufil my current task. you basically just wander around aimlessly until you find what your looking using the clues you get from people you talk to. I know many may disagree with me but I will have to say this game is not worth the rental.
