Fun awaits behind the doors to the Realm of Madness...
This is more than the average expansion pack. Well... In a way. It adds a whole storyline to the great game we all have heard of. Sure, things may be confusing at first, the big insects may give nightmares to the smaller players, but who cares? It's a whole new game! It keeps Oblivion's great game play, RPG elements, and general prowess. Oblivion players that have been playing from before this new year may be bored by the expansion, as all that is added is the Isles, the Shivering Isles storyline, new armors, spells, and monsters. Everything else is just been here, seen that.
Graphics: 10
Average Oblivion visuals, plus the beautiful nature of Mania, and creepy monsters (Nature too) of Dementia.
Sound: 10
Great voice acting, great nature sounds, all that Oblivion had before. Sadly, all that Oblivion had before includes the limited tracks and limited voice actors.
Value: 6
The only let down of the expansion. It'd be good if it was, say 1600 points, but 2,400? If you don't buy it online, the only wayt to get it is to pay $20 for 1600 points, and then another $20 so you can get to 3200. Thankfully, it came near Easter, so gift cards were able to pay for the majority of points. :)

Buy this expansion. You just have to. Something that should make you get it would be the 250 Gamerpoints included. They're not worth anything, but many players are addicted to them. Also, brag about you 1000+ points to your uninformed, Xbox Live-less friends who don't know there was an expansion.
