add on
I like the addon it is good, but the security on the disk itself was very hard to get past. I had issues with the dvd burners on my machines to reconize that it is legit. I had to attempt multiple time because one out right failed.
The content is good, a worthy add on.

Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles for PC review
Be prepared to chase Alice down the rabbit hole in this one. You go from the fantasy world of Tamriel to a plane of existence belonging to Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. Madness is the keyword here. Madness as in it will aggravate the heck out of you if you try to do all of the quests, as well as madness in the sense of insanity. Any bipolar persons out there will feel right at home. Don't get me wrong though. This is an official Beth Soft expansion, so of course it's going to be greatly enjoyable as well. "It's aggravating as well as enjoyable? That makes no sense!" Exactly - and that's what is captured by this half up half down world. Get it, play it, then after hours well spent, step back and wait for the `Oh, that's what he meant' moment.

Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isle
Simply put....AWESOME!! : ) In some aspects even better than the first. If you liked the first or even just like roleplaying games in general pick- up this series!

Just Excellent!
As others have said, Oblivion is getting a bit "old" for some of us who have completed most of the quests (163 for me) over the past year or so. Shivering Isles is just what the doctor ordered. Great idea, an interesting and beautiful world, great new characters and many challenges for high level characters (or low level if that's where you're at). Seeing those beautiful Golden Saints (or Aurelans) again takes me back to Morrowind (ES 3). Nostalgia to be sure. New armor (either heavy or light; enchanted or regular) and weapons (all kinds) are available. I found the main quest to be just great. The Shivering Island "world" is relatively small so a horse is not needed (and nobody else has one so there would be balance issues). I only wish there were a few more good and challenging miscellaneous type quests -- especially since there are no factions to join. But I say there's 30 hours here -- at least.

More of the same, which is what you wanted.
ES4: Oblivion was an amazing game. The combat system has gotten a lot better than it was in Morrowind, the story is deep and engaging, the side quests are plentiful and the personalities diverse. So once I had played through all of Cyrodiil, I made a new character and did it again. And again. Each time the game was different because of the strengths and weaknesses of each archetype. But eventually the whole game was "Been there, done that, killed it." Shivering Isles (and Knights of the Nine, for that matter) gives additional content, professionally done with voice-overs and quest progressions worthy of inclusion in the original release. It's more of the same great, diverse content, which is what you wanted to begin with. Pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
