Product Description
With the Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles for the Xbox 360, you'll open up new areas in the world of Oblivion so you can continue playing with your existing save game/character, or create an all new character just to explore the new content. Within the Realm of Sheogorath, players can explore the two extreme sides of the god's madness -- the sublimely creative and the completely psychotic. Something is happening to the Shivering Isles and Sheogorath himself looks to you to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction. Do you have the strength to survive his trials, tame a realm fraught with paranoia and despair, and wear the mantle of a God? ESRB Rated M for Mature

 Fantastic add-on to an already fantastic game January 21, 2008

This add-on is great for those Xbox-360 owners who don't have a connection to Xbox Live. The good thing about the retail disc is that it come with the Shivering Isles expansion and the Knights of the Nine add-on included. The expansion adds more to the experience that Oblivion gives to gamers.
Quick note: You must have Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion to play this expansion.
PARTY ON, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Perfect Companion for Oblivion January 18, 2008

This is the same game offered on XBOX marketplace for 2400 MS Points. If Im going to spend that $$, I wanted to have a backup copy of the program and not in the MS server. For a little less $$, I got the game on disc complete with a map and case to sit next to my original Oblivion game for the 360.
If you find that Oblivion is a cakewalk, get ready to be surprised in Shivering Isles. New enemies, better weapons and new NPCs will surely keep you interested.
CD or downloadable content, Shivering Isles will keep you immersed in the world of Oblivion
Madness plain fun MADNESS!! March 3, 2008
Andrew Rose (Tennessee)
New characters, strange new adventures. All while working for the Madgod Sheograth. As usual with the Elder scrolls there are certain twists during the game, hours of playtime, and they kick in Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the nine on the same disk. So all in all two games for the price of one; who can complain?? Great game, definately a thinking game so as your "teacher" would say put your thinking caps on and surrender to the pull of the Xbox. Have fun everyone its definately a unique experience!!
Adds new things but doesn't change much July 6, 2008

This expansion is pretty fun. Who doesn't like to run around in a world where insanity reigns supreme?
The only draw backs is that it doesn't add many new things. Oh, it does add so much. New characters to interact with. New story line, new enemies, new spells, new wea-- let's just say it adds a bunch of stuff.
The only things is that it may feel like the same ol'car but with a new paint job. Don't get me wrong. I like what Shivering Isles brings to Oblivion, it just seems like a little bit more could've done the trick for me.
I recommend Shivering Isles to anyone who wants to prolong their game play of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion or have a new world to explore. It adds several hours of game play (depending how you play) and a very interesting story.
Sheogorath is hilarious! September 22, 2008
D. Seo (Santa Ana, CA, USA)
The Shivering Isles creates a new world for you to explore, with new monsters, new ingredients to try out at alchemy, a schizophrenic world to explore, and as part of the storyline you'll get a cool two-in-one sword, the Dawnfang/Duskfang. Plus the character of Sheogorath, the Prince of the realm, is what was missing in Oblivion proper: a fun and engaging NPC with bucketloads of personality! The only NPC worth mentioning in Oblivion was the emperor (Patrick Stewart); all the other NPCs were flat and boring. Bethesda apparently read my mind and crafted a delightfully deranged character with the accent to match.
And the whole ironic storyline, in which you fight to defend madness against the encroaching forces of order, is wonderfully and hilariously sarcastic. I have to admit, after playing Oblivion for 200 plus hours, the game was starting to feel stagnant, and installing this expansion pack was the perfect swift kick to my rear end that I needed.
Bethesda has also done a great job designing the look of the environment itself; when you're in the Mania half of the world, the environment is full of splashy, vibrant colors, like you're high or something (is it a coincidence there are so many mushrooms around?). And in Dementia, the world is appropriately bleak, with nothing but browns and grays and blacks, with dead, twisted trees and swamps. It reminded me of being in an asylum or something (well, an outdoor asylum).
The Shivering Isles is a great expansion to a great game. Definitely worth your money.
