    This is by far one of my favorite games on the xbox 360. I played all the way through it when it first came out but now that the legendary edition is out and very reasonably priced I felt like another play through was long overdue. I definitely did not regret this purchase.

    Game of the Year with INCREDIBLE DLC value

    Easily one of the best games of the year...strong story with better gameplay and the best leveling system of any RPG I've played, but the DLC included alone costs $40. For a game to include the extra hours of play for such a great price is a no brainer.

    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 !!!

    I'm a mature gamer chick and I love this RPG! The detail is amazing from the scenery to the characters. This is a game that you can play for hours, set aside and play something else for a bit and come back to Skyrim and just pick up right where you left off. It's like coming home to old friends. I especially like the DLC Hearthfire. It was so much fun gathering the materials and building my own home(s). The battles are just hard enough to be fun on the normal mode and the dragons are awesome. The only thing I would wish for is more personal interaction and more varied conversations with the other characters. After you've played for a while the followers or family members saying the same thing over and over gets a bit stale.

    ...sizes that don't matter at all. Skyrim basically World of Warcrafted hundreds of thousands of gamers who previously had no interest in either this setting or genre, and there's something to be said about that. Replayability is pretty much at its peak with this game, the Fallout titles being about the only things that come close. Dig in for a long stay, it's hard to put down. Ever.

    Back to basics

    I've been a fan of TES since Arena. It's nice to see Bethesda getting back to basics. From the start you see and hear Bethesda going to the roots of what makes TES great, from the epic musical score to the breathtaking graphics. Everything is exactly what it should be. Thee are some minor quibbles, but that's all they are.

    Satisfying

    It's difficult to ever feel completely satisfied with a play session of Skyrim. There's always one more pressing quest, one more unexplored tract of land, one more skill to increase, one more butterfly to catch. It's a mesmerizing game that draws you into an finely crafted fictional space packed with content that consistently surprises. The changes made since Oblivion are many, and result in a more focused and sensible style of play, where the effects of every decision are easily seen. Featuring the same kind of thrilling freedom of choice The Elder Scrolls series is known for along with beautiful visuals and a stirring soundtrack, playing Skyrim is a rare kind of intensely personal, deeply rewarding experience, and one of the best role-playing games yet produced.

    My daughter was looking for this for quite awhile. Most stores did not have it, but one did in Trussville, AL. She was very excited and just loves it! It is a very good addition to her collection. Thanks!

    The price drop for this game has recently occurred and it seems to be permanent. The game comes with all DLC so it is an absolute steal.

    One of the best open world format, free roam games. Go where you want when you want. The only limitations are the borders of the world. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is it does lock up from time to time.

    The defining RPG for Xbox 360

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Elder Scrolls series has been the flagship RPG for the past generation of consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), and especially on the Xbox 360 it has proven to be one of the best games for the console, regardless of genre. Skyrim is the 5th installment in the series, the 2nd on Xbox 360 (Oblivion being the 4th overall and the 1st on the 360), and while gameplay is not necessarily greatly improved over previous installments, the graphics certainly are. Bethesda are known for taking time with game development, and Elder Scrolls is always worth the wait of three years or so between installments. While the main campaign can be done relatively simply, that's not the main attraction of this game. It's possible to play 100-200 hours or more and still have things to uncover. There were bugs and glitches when the game released, especially on the PS3, so I would recommend getting the 360 version if you have both consoles. But I've always waited for the "Game of the Year" editions like the Legendary Edition to get the game, since the DLC packages are included, and the price of the complete edition comes down more quickly now than the launch edition did a couple years ago. Highly recommended!

    Honestly, I'm just now getting started with this game in the overall scheme of things, but it is more than meeting my expectations. I just completed another highly-rated RPG, and a friend of mine who is also into RPG's recommended Skyrim because he knows that I like games that offer a lot of exploration, strategy, and character-building. So far, I have not been disappointed. I'm looking forward to a few hundred hours of entertainment yet with Skyrim.

    My husband and I both play this and we both enjoy it. We are at different gaming levels (he's a bit more advanced then I am) and there's something for both of us and we can take it at our own pace. My only wish is that he and I could play simultaneously. Since he's more advanced, when we play the same game he sometimes likes to help me along on quests or give me stuff he's no longer using, but I guess it's better that I have to make my own way in this game and learn on my own.

    I was all ready a Skyrim lover and had purchased an add-on to the game and was thinking of getting another when my disk wore out. I was able to buy this as a replacement disk, get two additional add-ons all for less than buying an additional add-on with my existing game.
