The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Reviews

The weekend brings us another pair of enthusiastic reviews for Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles expansion pack. The first is at GameZone with an overall score of 8.9/10:

Shivering Isles is an absolute must have for Oblivion owners, and if you don’t own Oblivion, please do a favor for yourself and to the rest of the world and buy both. The new environment additions are beautifully twisted, the characters are much more memorable this round being hilariously insane sometimes, and the last and best add-on in Shivering Isles are the missions. They are just plain fun. So go ahead and break up with your girlfriend now and proceed to install Shivering Isles. we will see you in a month.

While the other is at Digital Entertainment News with an overall score of 8.5/10:

Still, while the Shivering Isles expansion may not be quite as balanced as one would hope, even if your character class happens to be one the game doesn’t cater to, you’ll still probably enjoy much of what the expanded content has to offer. If nothing else, the change of scenery hits Oblivion like a breath of fresh air, and the odd cast of characters makes for a very amusing change of pace. Any fan of the original game would be remiss not to add the Shivering Isles to their map.
