Pros

Fan created addons and cool effects
Another thirty or so hours questing in the world of Oblivion, one of the greatest RPGs ever; graphics, sound, and story all combine to provide one of the greatest gaming experiences available today; the first expansion that Ive played which actually makes
Terrific main quest; great characters, monsters and new items; beautiful art design; compatible with popular UI and graphic mods.

Cons

Some parts are a bit too easy
That I can think of - there is no reason not to play this game if you already have Oblivion.
No basic gameplay or UI improvements; frustrating terrain and dungeon design; lackluster side quests.

An excellent addition to the Oblivion world, but it is a bit mad... The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is one of the biggest and best role-playing games ever, and the Shivering Isles pack adds a whole new realm to explore. The bizarre tone is set from...

Oblivion blew open the gates last year as the fourth game in the long running series of Elder Scrolls. It won numerous awards and caused more relationship break-ups than seen on the Jerry Springer show in a year. Now, almost exactly a year later, the...

It says something about an expansion pack that its biggest defect is a bug affecting those who put between 50 and 120 hours into it. Clearly, this is a bit of a disaster for those planning to kick off The Shivering Isles then return to the land...
