Great graphics and story line! If you love the Elder Scrolls series you will love this installment as well. It was nice to see the removal of the character class system. The ability to dual-wield weapons is a welcoming one! High replay value!

Had no idea what to expect when i picked this up, and honestly didn't really care for it at first, I don't usually like 1st person games,but you can switch to 1st or 3rd person and once i got used to the gameplay, I can't put this down! For those of us who grew up on Zelda or The early Final Fantasy games you'll love this game. There is almost too much to do and secrets and treasure to find. If you like exploring open worlds get this game!

Great game. A very long game. The main quest is always surprising and challenging. One draw back is the menu to the items, magic, etc is tricky to get to when you are in the middle of a skirmish. The first person/third person button should be separated more as I was constantly going into one or the other making it confusing. Other than that is a great game.

Easily one of the greatest games on PS3, and among the best games ever. This is a game that has literally thousands of hours of game play. Sure the PS3 had a myriad of technical issues when it was first released, but the majority of these have been fixed.
If you haven't played this game before, pick it up now. You won't regret it.

I am a really picky person when it comes to games because I tend to finish them quickly, like 2-3 days. Skyrim I have been playing for about 3 weeks now and I am still not finished because of all of the side quests. Great game!!

The game has a lot of content. I'm playing my first run through without any guides. It's got a decent story and a huge world, however there are two things that could use improvement. 1. Inventory management - When switching between spells and gear, etc... sometimes it takes all the "fast pace" out of the combat. 2. There is no way to determine the difficulty of any given area until you run up and try to fight something as far as I know. Overall it's got lots of content and should keep you busy for a few weeks at least.

If I was to sum up Skyrim in one word, it would be Epic. In fact, if it were possible I would change the meaning of Epic in the dictionary to Skyrim. The sheer scale of the game is absolutely mind-boggling. I haven't even touched the main quest yet, and I don't think I will for the foreseeable future, such is the sheer amount that can be done in the various side quests. I won't give a massive description of the game as I'm sure you already know what the game is all about. If you're looking for a game that gives you value for your money, Skyrim is an absolute steal! Now go buy Skyrim! Collapse
