This could be a good game depending on who you are.

I have read so many reviews on this games which most of them have been good, but the reviews I have paid most attention to are the ones that are not so good. The biggest complaint that I see is the game performance. It is not the games fault that it will not run on a lot of systems, but I believe the manufacture should of tested it better for minimum requirements. Another thing I hear is people say this game was designed for the xbox360 first, they are wrong about that. The game, believe it or not, was designed for the PC first. As far as game play goes, if you you played the the last Elder Scrolls games and you were a big fan of it I can see why you may not like this game. The gameplay and story are both excellent, but if you compare it with the old game you probably would be unhappy. If you never played anything from this series before and have a high end system then this game is mind blowing. If you do not have a high end system, but you do have an xbox360 then you are better off getting it for the xbox360 because it will run a lot more stable than a low end system would run it. As far as controls on the game, it depends how you like to play. If you prefer a game pad then again the xbox is your best choice, but I do know people that prefer the mouse and keyboard system better. The one thing have to say about the value of the PC version is the game is pretty long if you do every quest and stop to read a lot of the text in the game(which also will make the story better for most). The fact this game is on the PC is a good thing because patches always can be put out to improve the game and the game can be modded to make it even a better value. Remember this is only my view point, so you may or may not agree with what I said.
P.S.
My idea of what the minimum requirement should of been.
P4 2.4Ghz or AMD Athlon 3000
1 gig ram(ddr 400 at that)
GeForce 5800FX or Radeon 9700 with at least 128 meg of ram(at least 8 pixel pipelines on the card for the heavy processes and decent clock speed)
16 bit 5.1 sound card with eax 2.0 or better
5.1 sound system
17" flat panel monitor that can display 1280x768 with a refresh rate of 85hz
Windows XP pro
My recommended requirements
P4 D930 or Athlon X2 4200
2 gigs of ddr 667 dual channel(anymore more memory really is not needed unless you are multitasking at the time)
GeForce 6800GT in SLI or Radeon X850 in crossfire or better
24 bit 7.1 sound card with eax 2.0 or better
7.1 sound system
21" flat panel monitor that can display 1600x1200 with a refresh rate of over 85hz
Windows XP pro
