 Great release for non-broadband owners or newcomers to Oblivion September 13, 2007

These statements are in response to previous qustions and reviews.
This pack was designed for people that can not or do not have broadband service and wanted these two huge add ons for Oblivion. there ARE only the two included here yes. two others were available for FREE from Official Xbox Magazine in early 2007. The horse armor was never given for free and is not available on here. OR of course if you do not already have this game then this is the best option available.
if you already own a copy of oblivion and purchase this, you will then have two full copies of the game. about a year ago when bethesda said they will in time release the downloadable content on disc it was known that it would be on its own disc! some hoped it would be a disc update like halo2s extra maps were, but microsoft did not like the ease of someone buying one copy and just giving it to all of their friends.
that would still be possible with disc two in this set, yea but they made sure you are buying the full game along with the extra content. that was the deal made with microsoft.
disc two WILL install all of the patches that were required to play the additional content. then it will ask you which items you want to install, all, one, or neither.
my main character in oblivion is nearing the 300 hour mark. there is no fear of the game becoming "unplayable". the reviewer "mean critic" makes no good points and gives very little facts.
the game will then be played with disc one (a normal oblivion disc) while the other information is streamed from a hard drive or memory card. that is the way the downloadable content WAS PROGRAMMED to work. the information that is stored on the drive loads very fast compared to when loading from the disc.
if you buy this and already own oblivion, you could trade it in at many video game stores if you dont want to own a second copy.
If you don't already own Oblivion, buy this September 14, 2007

This game is the chief selling point for the XBOX 360, and now it's available with the two major expansions included.
If you already own Oblivion (and especially if you've already bought Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles from XBOX Live), DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. You will be filled with the righteous fanboy rage you see in the one star reviews below.
But if you're new to the 360, this game is a must have. Even the training mode/introduction is amazing, with Patrick Stewart as the voice of the dying King who sends you on your quest.
Highlights of the game and expansions:
OBLIVION:
+The quest story lines are well written, and the tone of guild and side quests varies and makes for a lot of fun (especially Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds)
+Great voice acting from the likes of Sean Bean (Boromir), Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), and Terence Stamp (General Zod/Jorel).
+A more engaging combat system than turn based RPGS, and amazing graphics
+Character customization is more detailed than you could hope for.
+It's a very materialistic game. Looting is great fun, especially at higher levels.
+You get to battle demons in Hell, or whip thieves in caves. There are a lot of varieties of game play.
+The game is absolutely huge.
-You will find the leveling system infuriating about 20 hours into the game. All of your enemies level up with you; so, your best options are to avoid leveling up entirely (which limits your selection of weapons and armor), or to be obsessive about controlled leveling, which takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
-There's no clear sense of "fair play" in the game. You can create a set of chameleon armor that will let you walk through the whole game unnoticed and kill whomever you wish. Once you can do that, how much worse is duplicating items using inventory tricks? You really set your own level of difficulty in how you play, but I find that takes away more than it adds.
-There are really no branching quest lines in the game, and nothing you do affects the story line. Why can't I take control of the Mythic Dawn or Necromancers?
-There aren't really any race or gender specific quests in the game. Why isn't there some sort of elf society in the game that affects the storyline for an elf character?
While I have problems with it (comparing it to KOTOR, as I do all things), I haven't found a better 360 game yet.
KNIGHTS OF THE NINE
+A new guild! They should release more expansions like this.
+You can lower your infamy to 0 by making a pilgrimage.
+If you have a crusader fantasy, this expansion is for you.
+You get some cool items, if you're willing to stay infamy free.
-The quest line is pretty short.
Basically, this is a good early game quest line to take on, but it's not as big as the other guilds.
SHIVERING ISLES
+This takes place in the realm of the demonic prince of madness. Where Oblivion involves lush, realistic landscapes and scary forays into Hell, Shivering Isles has lots of bizarre, beautiful, surreal images. It's a much different design concept, and worth it for a change of pace.
+The quests are especially ingenious.
+The quest line is long enough to make it interesting.
-Despite what you may see advertised, there's still very little in way of branching quest lines. Really, the only things that differ are when you get certain items and what greater powers you have access to.
This is a really great expansion, and can help you build skills early in the game. And you can become the demon prince of madness, so that's cool.
In short, this is the best game for 360, and one of the best RPG's on the market. It does have its limitations and frustrations, but it will give you about 80 more hours of fun than Bioshock (which is also really cool).
Oblivion is a masterpiece RPG. October 1, 2007

I never owned a copy of Oblivion , I finished most of the quests in 2006 with a GamesPass rental from Blockbuster. So when Shivering Isles download came out I was sad that only those with XBOXLIVE access could download it. Back then the cost of Shivering Isles was $30 plus the cost of the game $60. So I heard that this disc was coming out . So I waited to get this version. (if youo don't own Oblivion ,this is the version to get) Boy am I glad I did, This version runs much much smoother than the older version I had rented in 06 .I didn't have any problems with this game it ran better than the older first print version ,I can tell they fixed some of the issues. The game runs very smooth compared to last years debut copy.
Since Shivering Isles and Kinghts of the Nine cache to your Hard Drive , the load times are much better when in those areas.
Ive been playing Oblivion now for over 200 hours! There's so much to see and do in this game,its an epic adventure of massive proportions. I easily reloaded my old Oblivion save and took my level 30 character into Shivering Isles quests ,no problem.
If you don't have Xbox Live or don't have Oblivion yet this is by far the best version to get.
If you like adventure games in First or third Person perspective than Oblivion is the best RPG out for any console. Anybody who hasn't played Oblivion yet in missing out on the longest adventure video game experience they may have ever tried.
Count on losing allot of sleep , I know I did, I couldn't put the controller down.With 200+ hours of playtime I still havent seen all the caves and dungeons. There's so many things that you can do in Oblivion This review would be way too long to cover all the aspects of this game. Oblivion is truly an epic RPG.I highly ,highly recommend it.Anybody who already owns Oblivion will not need this version as you can download all of the xtra content on Xbox LIVE.This version is for people without XboxLive or people who have do not own Oblivion.

If you already own Oblivion, don't buy this, that's obvious. However, for all you late bloomers you still don't have Oblivion, this is definitely worth the buy. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying all the stuff off Live. Easily. Get this.
