User Rating: 9.2 | The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition XBOX
Wow! This game was a joy to play. Having already played the morrowind without the expansions, I was already versed in this particular roleplaying art. I will begin with the gameplay. Melee combat was the only thing that brought down this title. With only three types of swings it got rather "hack and slash". Some sort of way to get combos would have been welcome. The amount of spells is simple breathtaking and the magnitude and duration are all changable. Every action is related to an attribute giving you a rather deep sense of gameplay. The graphics were amazing a few years ago and they still are sometimes but most of the time they are a little choppy around the edges. The music is great to start with, It gives you the adventuring spirit and fits the game perfectly. But you eventually start to dream about it because it is so repedative. It is usually the same constant melody that only changes when you are in combat/nightime/tombs/ect. If you have played the original Morrowind dont expect the music to change much at all. This title has great replay value. Getting better each time you go through it. There is always something you havn't seen or a quest you havent done. Overall I would like to congratulate Bethesda on another masterpiece.
