Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a sprawling, first-person, open-ended fantasy role playing game. It's a direct port of the PC version and truly shows off the power of the Xbox. You can do virtually anything you want: there is a main quest but also hundreds of side quests (over 350 of them) and the game is completely non-linear. You can be a hero, a villain, a pilgrim, a saint or even a vampire. You name it, and chances are you can be it. There are also no geographical constraints; you can wander where you want, when you want.
The amount of control you have in Morrowind is stunning. When you create a character, you can either choose pre-made classes, have one assigned to you depending on how you answer a questionnaire or create your own class.
Morrowind's magic system is great--not only do you have seven schools of magic (Conjuration, Illusion, Destruction, Restoration, Mysticism, Alternation, Enchant), but you also have an Alchemy system, from which you can create potions from ingredients you can either buy or find in the wild. In addition, you can even trap the souls of enemies you kill and bind them into items to create a magic artefact. Another boon to this game is the thieving system. You can pick locks, disarm traps, pick pockets, learn acrobatics, taunt, insult or intimidate others, or haggle for better deals in the market.
The game itself is gorgeous. The graphics, sounds, frame-rate: all smooth as silk. You can spend hours just looking at all the outlandish scenery, picking the flowers (literally). The musical score is rousing and never gets tired. All the different creatures and people have their own voices and sounds. This is a game that makes anything but high-end computers cry and it works on the Xbox without a hitch.
Morrowind is a PC-style RPG for a PC-style console. This game is reason enough to buy an Xbox, and will have hard-core RPG fans singing its praises for years to come. --Bryan Karsh Amazon.com

To be clear - there is no point putting the Morrowind disk into your Xbox unless you are prepared to put in a considerable amount of time. It really is like going on a holiday somewhere: spend a couple of hours, and of course you haven't even scratched the surface (you've barely left the airport!) but spend day after day walking about, and you'll see more and more.
It comes with a map. A proper map. You need to use it. And then after a while you squint at it and notice lots of little squiggles and blobs. Every single one is a whole dungeon to explore. And those are just the initial ones to get you started. If you want to, that is; there are a thousand other things you could do first.
No, it's not that pretty, ... Read More:

I cannot believe the reviews that I am reading here! Am I really the only person who did not enjoy this game? I'm a seasoned role playing game (RPG) player and would consider games such as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire and Fable to be some of the best games ever written... so please bare that in mind when you read this rather scathing review.
This is an RPG in a Dungeons and Dragons style fantasy universe. The beginning of the game is promising (if not a little formulaic), with you possessing the usual mysterious background, that is not yet revealed.
I've now been playing for 10 hours and if this were any other game, I'd be knee-deep in the plot by now. But with Morrowind, I'm still spending 90% ... Read More:

This is the age of the PS3 and the Xbox360. I recently bought this classic game for my trusty ole' Xbox ; I already own and enjoy it on the PC. Let me tell you I was shocked how poor the graphics are on this old game now. The programmers did a good job squeezing this onto the xbox, but the resolution is so very poor. So, by all means buy this game, but only on the PC now. Morrowind on a modestly specced PC will blow the Xbox version away in terms of looks, plus you can 'mod' it to your hearts content. Trust me on this, buy this only if you are collecting Xbox games; you won't be playing it once you see it!

Well i got this game yesterday. at first i wasnt impressed, kinda through me in to the game with little explanation. Only 20 minutes i i realised that that actually adds to teh mystery. Lost the rag with it last night right enough, my first mission with the fighters guild where you have to play exterminator and kept getting killed by rats, i have an axe for gods sake hehehehe. Although so far so good, this game rocks the world. Highly recommended
