Great, but could have been longer

The game is terrific. It has good gameplay, I like the changes being affected by your actions (Like groing horns and such) and the haircuts and character customization. People who complain its to short, I agree, but you dont realize the many things you can do BESIDES quests. If you do only quests then your done quick, try finding all the keys, and doing all the special things. I love the frying pan, its a sweet weapon. In all it could have been longer and that would have made it better, but it wasnt. O well

I waited 3 years for this???

From day one whenever I read about this game it sounded like a winner... I have followed this game from day one, back when it was called "Project Ego"... Eveything I read about it made it sound like a truely special game. A game that would make "Morrow Wind" look like an Atari 2600 game. Wrong, wrong, wrong... This game has its plus points but in my book has more minuses then pluses... First off, I finished it last night... But here is the kicker. I only played for like 25 hours??? Whats up with that? I dont think I have ever played a game so little and finished it. And where was all this talk of your actions dictating your appearance? I never noticed it... The only action was the eating thing... Not what I would call a great feature. Now as for the age thing.. How is that in less then 20 hours I aged 50 years??? Hell I looked older then my mother when it was all over... So I cant says that this game is all that... To you out there who havent bought this game yet... DOnt... Go and rent it and save your money... You will be done before your rent time is even up...

7 hours into play

First off, the idea that this game is too short is a bit off. Sure, a hard core RPG game could win this in the 10-20 hour range, but they would have skipped a bunch of stuff. After winning Morrowind last week, I was turned off to the idea of a short game. Also, it does lack some of the more non-linear elements of Morrowind. However, after 7 hours of non stop play, the game only gets more entertaining. Kick chickens, get laid, vandalize... if you want. I can already tell I'll play this game at least a second time to see the changes of playing good(er) like I am now, Vs. my true personality. Graphics are to be expected for the Xbox... though slightly more towards the cartoon look then I like. Music is the best I have ever heard, as is the voice acting. With the Dolby 5.1, the voices echo around you when someone talks in a large room. The controls are better then any RPG I've played... once you figure them out. Well worth the money and wait... all RPG's of the future should use this the benchmark of the gerne.

Holy s***! I've been blessed by God!

The whole custom character idea is perfect. You can change up from swordplay to long-range to magic, hopefully with a press of a button. The desicions you make will change everything from your looks to hopefully your badass arsenal of weapons. Looks like a solid game. Can't wait 'till it come out.

seems good!

I think that this game is good! I think it will last a long time and i like games where u can custimize your character and choose your paths but not games that are all about that like the sims. Games that u can custimize your character choose your paths with action are good like gta san andreas. Get this game if your into this type
