This is a very good game with plenty of content. But on Tuesday ps3 there are so many frame rate issues and glitches that makes the game unplayable and un-enjoyable. So if I were you get the game on Xbox or on PC

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a great game, and this Legendary Edition makes it even better. Even without the expansions you get a ton of gameplay for the money -- the main questline barely scratches the surface of the content that's actually available. It's almost impossible to run out of things to do in this game, and even after hundreds of hours of play I still haven't gotten tired of questing and killing bandits, or building new characters and fighting in new ways.
The Legendary Edition comes with all three Skyrim add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn, which makes it an even better value for the money. There's significant additional content with each one, as well as some useful new mechanics to enable you to continue to level up indefinitely if you want to. The voice-acting in this game isn't really that great (honestly it sounds like the same six or seven people over and over again, and those don't always deliver their lines very well) and there are still a couple of quests that are a little buggy and the occasional graphics glitch, but overall it's an absolutely beautiful game. The forests and mountains and sky will take your breath away. The facial animations, not so much. Compared to the fun I've had playing this game, though, the flaws are very minor and don't really impact my enjoyment at all.
The only thing I'd really caution you about is that Skyrim tends to be addictive! You'll find yourself wanting to play a LOT, and even go back and create new characters to experience a different playstyle. Be prepared to sink a lot of hours into this!

This game will suck away all of your free time but in a good way. A massive story with choices your character makes that will have actual consequences as the story progresses. Beautiful back drop. No two play throughs are ever the same. A must own to escape reality for a little while.

One word says it all DRAGONS !!! This is the best RPG thats out. Bethesda Studios is one of the top 3 video game company and it shows. The open world is endless and with the Legendary Edition you get hrs and hrs of more swords and magic. This game is epic !!!

This game is huge and will consume hours of your life. Highly recommend if you are looking to explore a massive open-world with almost never-ending quests to venture into. One of the best games on the last generation of consoles.

Elder scrolls games are very immersive. If you want a game that you can sink your teeth into for a long time, skyrim is an excellent choice. I, personally, enjoyed skyrim much more over the last elder scrolls game, oblivion. They made improvements that I felt helped the game play, as well as having more than five voice actors (I exaggerate, but it's a bit of a pet peeve). Skyrim is visually very pleasing as well.

The open world of Elder Scrolls is amazing! You could spend months and months just exploring which is what I look for in a game. The interactions are very personal and your actions will dictate how others react to your presence. This legendary edition is a must have as it includes all DLC. Enjoy the world of Skyrim!

Skyrim is an excellent game and is simply one of the best RPGs that came out in the x360/ps3 generation of consoles. Pick it up cheap and enjoy dozens or even hundreds of hours of exploring and questing. Get the PC version if you want to experiment with user created mods or cheat codes.

Even thought I have a PS4, I still enjoy playing some PS3 games. This game is no exception. It's a really massive, free roaming RPG game that lets you explore and interacts in ways that carry on the storyline significantly. I certainly enjoyed it!

I bought the greatest hits version first and after many hours of play I just had to have the legendary edition. If you like this type of game you will not be disappointed. BUY IT.

I love the detail they put into the world. It's really quite astonishing how many books with all sorts of content you could read. Instead of completing the quests, you could probably walk around and collect books to read for 40 hours of gameplay alone. This is an addictive game for anyone who MUST complete a mission before calling it quits. Bank on at least an hour for any given quest and be sure to work on leveling up your skills as quickly as possible in the beginning. The story and your involvement in it is engaging and rewarding.

Unless you've been hiding in a fall out shelter for the last years there's no way you haven't heard about Skyrim, winner of countless awards, large free roam plains and dungeons, the ability to do what you want any way you want. If you haven't had the fortune of playing Skyrim or if you waited for the right time to pick up your copy of Skyrim, now is the time to strike, this game returns with the latest patch and all the DLC's, total value set at $120 but being sold for $60, pick up your copy today, you won't regret it

This is by far the best in the series. The ability to create your character how you want and play how you want is a good feeling. Not having a cookie cutter setting is also nice to have.

This game has to be my favorite RPG of the last console generation. It is fantastic that they have an ultimate version so I don't have to download the add-ons and take up space on my old 20gb PS3. This game was a great deal, and even though I have already played through much of the game on my PC and Xbox360, I know that I will spend several hundred hours again in the world of Skyrim on my PS3!

All my friends have been playing Skyrim since it came out, and talking about it all the time. Now I've gotten my own PS3 so I can play Skyrim too. Now I see what all the fuss was about!
I'm normally not a big fan of "sandbox" games. I like my games to be more linear. But thanks to the strategy guide, calls to my friends and looking on Gamefaqs, I can generally figure out where to go next in Skyrim.
I will say that if the game "clicks" with you, it's going to be a MAJOR suck on your time. I'm supposed to be getting ready for National Novel Writing Month and have done NOTHING for it so far. Yet in Skyrim I've killed 4-5 dragons, gotten a house, and adopted a child. Um... Writing is hard, okay?! Sheesh.
If you get this game, try to get a friend into it too. My friends and I have the best phone conversations about Skyrim. One friend called me when she couldn't find her housecarl, and Lydia was somewhere she wasn't supposed to be. I called a friend when I contracted the vampire condition, and when a certain character turned into a freakin' werewolf. It really is more fun if you can share your experience with others.
Don't be afraid to start at the lowest difficulty. That's where I'm at and I'm still having some decent challenges. Master Vampires, I'm looking at you. They quite literally SUCK.
And if you get lost, use your map function. Last night I was lost in a dungeon, and if I hadn't used my map, I swear to God I would still be in there!
Happy gaming! :-)
