Best single player game I've played in a long time.
Graphics
Beuatiful environments, it's easy to tell that this game takes as much advantage as it can from the 360's power. There are some infrequent framerate skips, but they aren't bad enough to affect the play of the game. There are also some minor flaws, such as rain coming down when you are under an archway or something. Again, it can be overlooked due to the enormity or the game.
Gameplay
This is where this game racks up it's points. A gigantic freeroam world, tons of side quests and an intriguing main quest. Hundreds of ways to play the game due to the amazing character creation mode where you choose a race, a birth sign, and a class, all having different effects on your characters attributes. Tough enemy's make the game more interesting and give you a reason to level up and search for some of the games many weapons. You can interact with anything you want, you go anywhere you want, you can DO anything you want.
Sound
A fantasic orchestral score that can give the feeling of danger, peace, or heroism. Great sound effects such as blazing fire balls, lighting, rain dropping, and the clashing of swords.
This game is worth everypenny, and I bought the collecters edition. I believe that this is game of the year material and I will be playing this game for a while to come.
