Aye - or on the 360! It scored 96% on Gamespot. Try it and you'll understand why.

Got it on the PC at the weekend. Don't really like RPG's but the graphics are immense.

When I first got out of the sewers near the start, the detail on offer was amazing. Wind blowing through the grass and the sun starting to set, followed by the stars appearing. Amazing stuff - just a shame it kills my little 9800 Pro!

I had a quick go earlier, but it's not my kind of game unfortunately. Once you are out into the fields it is stunning.

Haven't seen any demo yet Dave (as of today) - one must be out soon though.

Basically, it's a role-playing game from the first person perspective, though you can zoom-out and play it from the 3rd person perspective if you prefer. Loads of little neat touches in it - literally unlimited possibilities in terms of character generation.

The main story to it (from what I've read) is around 40 hours in length, though there are plenty of sub quests and additional off-shoots that you can take. And similar to Morrowind that preceded it, there's a construction set built into the game - so expect plenty of downloadable maps from other players in the near future.

Similar to Lee, it's not really the type of game I'd go for, but I make an exception to this!

I bought this for the 360 today but I've only just arrived home so have not played it yet.

 

[cosworth]

Need to sort out an Xbox Live connection and I'll be giving it a go.

Played this lastnight and it's a stunning looking game. Gameplay appears to be great but I'm only just getting into the storyline now after exiting the sewers.

Guy in the office bought this for his 360 and he's obsessed with it!

I've just had 4 people stood behind me going on about it.:boring: It really interrupted my dirty email conversation I was having with someone.
