Too right!

I managed to scratch my copy when I moved my 360 from vertical to horizontal :idiotsmiley: so can't play it at the moment...

I see Play have it for only £17.99 at the mo so I shall be ordering a new copy very shortly so I can finish the game

I only clocked up 97 (on PC) Started on the Shimmering Isle expansion, but 10 hours in, I've already sort of lost interest Was hoping that it would reignite the spark.

Original game was good for the first 90 hours so excellent value for money

Me too. I was glad when Gears of War came out, it made me stop playing Oblivion too much!

I played it for a day but really couldnt get into it, poor grapchics and i hate games where you just run through levels swinging a sword with one button.

So you haven't played Oblivion then. For a start, sword is 1 button, shield is another, you can modify your attacks whilst moving with the analog stick, spells are cast with shoulder button, you set spells with the d-pad. I make that a few more buttons than 1. Plus, you are completely ignoring the story aspect (which was one of the best I've seen in a game for some time).

Great game

Poor graphics, compared to what?

193 hours gone (including playing Shivering Isles) and still haven't finished all the quests

Was a serious question not meant to p**s you off.
All i asked was for you to compare it to something that looks as good or better.
