Alone in a cell, you are whoever you choose in the province of Cyrodiil. Where you go (once free) is totally up to you, but once you're in the mix of things, prepare to be gone with the wind. In the Elder Scrolls IV you have the option to do hundreds of things such as: Rise to the top in a fighting ARENA, Raid Dungeons and Caves, Retrieve stolen Artifacts, Steal Artifacts, Give your loot up to Bandits, or Ride for the Emporer. You can even say "Forget the World" and Ride for Yourself. Besides the Ugly framerate, and Silly conversation/investigation
options, This game is a *Very* Interesting piece for your XBOX 360 collection. Evil & Fry, Good & Fly, Shop & Buy, Work & Sigh, Live or Die, Prepare to Ride!
Incredible amount of fun and open world action!

This game takes the western RPG to the pinnacle of the genre. It is an all encompassing story that takes off right from the beginning, and you are introduced to a world that seems boundless. You can create and modify every aspect of your character, and there are loads of weapons, armor, spells, and you can even buy your own house. There are guilds to join, missions to accomplish, people to meet, dungeons to explore, secrets to find, massive amounts of plot twists, and huge cities to explore that have their own customs and culture. Indeed, it will keep you busy for hundreds of hours to come, and this is one game that won't disappoint. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be on your mind for months to come after you purchase it, and trust me, this is one game where you will get your money worth!
Amazing game.
