Review of the massive role-playing game from Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com - a very lengthy and detailed review.

I've been playing games created by Bethesda Game Studios since the release of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and though none of them have been perfect, they have always managed to become some of the most addicting and immersive RPGs for my money. Like many gamers, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as if it was an actual plague upon my being. Role playing games can be a hit or miss depending on your preferences, but I have always particularly enjoyed fantasy settings with swords and sorcery. So it goes without saying that The Elder Scrolls series is a favorite of mine. I loved Fallout 3 but Tamriel's setting is just more appealing. That doesn't mean I haven't had my qualms with past games though. Morrowind and Oblivion's melee combat systems were stiff and lacked the flair I wanted in a warrior class as swinging a sword was a lot more like swinging a bat.
