I was a huge fan of the Morrowind game and it's add-ons so the transition to Oblivion was smooth. The game play and character developement are similar but has more added depth and variety. I've played through this game with three characters and I've had a different gaming experience each time. Oblivion has a huge library of weapons, spells, equipment and magic items that makes Morrowind's collection look paltry, but the best addition to this game was the horse, which is a god send on long journeys because the gaming world of Oblivion is immense! The only reason I didn't give this game a "10" is because I would like to see all the strengths of this game have an added element of a multiplayer MMORPG, which of course I will be praying for in the next addition of the Morrowind series. If you do not have this game and you don't mind losing your social life for the next few months, then get out the door and buy your copy right this minute! This will be the best money you ever spent on an XBOX game, period.
