Shivering Isles is a bona fide masterpiece and the best that the Elder Scrolls series has to offer. The element that received the most drastic improvement is the main quest.

The download is pricey, but the content is varied, interesting, and most important, plentiful.

Shivering Isles is like Oblivion unleashed and on some kind of psychedelic steroid. While the gameplay remains the same, the artists and level designers kicked things up quite a few notches. Although the price tag may seem high at first (2400 MS points), the fact that this game is bigger (in every sense of the word) than most other titles currently available on the 360, makes it hard to ignore just how much value the Shivering Isles has.

It delivers more of what made Oblivion great: creative quests, a huge land to explore, and tons of things to do there, making this expansion is a solid purchase for anyone who was a fan of the core game. Pros: Offers up more of the same great gameplay that made Oblivion such a huge success. Cons: Some of the quests are mediocre.

This expansion is a must-have, plain and simple. A gamer on a budget could wait a bit for the price to come down before buying this addition to the game, as exhausting all possible adventures in Oblivion can take a year of real time, but anyone ready for some different-flavored action won’t be disappointed by this worthy addition to the Elder Scrolls series.
