A pretty good game.
The combat in the game however wasn't that great. It uses mostly one button, and then the occasional power attack. The easiest way to play the game is using combat. Magic and bows are hard to use and are bad at crowd control, but are useful at a distance. Magic also has some useful spells. The graphics of this game are pretty good for a Xbox, but there are problems with it. Sometimes the game would freeze out of nowhere. Or when you're loading a save file it will really slow down and take about 5 minutes just to load and then autosave which gets rid of your old autosave. The voice acting in the game is bad and gets annoying. The quests, leveling up, getting money, and doing the other things are pretty easy. When you take on a quest you can boast. The boasts will range from not taking damage to do a quest related task or by being especially good or evil. Boasts get you extra gold and renown if you do them, and subtract gold if you fail. The game also incorparates fame, which if you have more of you can do more things. There are also little things you can do like marry, have sex, buy houses and stores, and other side quests. The game gets addicting, but if you go through just the story its about 20 hours. The other side quests add on an extra 5 hours about. The game has a fairly solid story however it can be a little bland. The sheer amount of things that you can do make this game even better. The only major problem with this game is button mashing, which isn't that bad. Overall I'd reccommend this to people, but to rent.
