Shivering Isles – Elder Scrolls Oblivion expansion – Xbox 360 game review
With a game as expansive as Oblivion, it was always going to be a challenge to build upon it. After all, how do you provide an add-on to a game that has it all? The Shivering Isles answers that question so decisively, you wonder why it would have ever been asked. Shivering Isles is completely different to anything that’s come before it. It’s entirely original, and it’ll suck you into its land of mania and dementia with a grip stronger than that of a Daedric God. Forget about your inhibitions, because this is a place where losing your mind is encouraged. *Manic laughter*

Set in the land of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness, The Shivering Isles takes Oblivion to a land where it’s never been before – a land of insanity. Here, every character you meet is, in some way, off their rocker, and this has allowed the developers a whole new level of freedom.
