What is the best Xbox 360 rpg style game for under 25$?

well its a tough one but ill narrow it down between your choices.

Oblivion-by far will have the longest game playing. Its action is fun and decent but its not for everyone the first person sword/magic fighting. It has leveling up of skills and learning new ones as well but can take a long time to master them, good thing is that their are many skills and will have to replay to master others. Story line is alright but it was the graphics I fell in love with. This game will have most customization by far with choice of race/gender and even species to clothes and armor. Only downside is that after a couple of months it feels like your doing samething over again since its most just find a quest level up and repeat.

Fable2- is a decent game but not worth even 15 $ in my opinion. It will have shortest game play with very simple fighting. The story line is very plain and weapons and magic is very limited. Character customization is purely clothes with slight difference of height and muslce throughout game and aging. If your a casual gamer then this would be perfect game without having to spend endless hours and just quick fun here and their.

Mass Effect- Will have second longest playing time. It has great graphics, and finally a voice for your main character and selection of what you can say. Its story and world is as great as star wars when it first came out. But its action is pretty low, it is a game with option of 4 guns and thats it will a couple upgrades and couple moves but not greatest gun game which can dull the game at times. You can customize your face and find new armor but nothing to fancy. The only bonus I would add one to mass effect is you end up loving mass effect 1 then mass effect 2 will be top of your list. The reason this is a bonus is because mass effect 2 is without a doubt is 3x better than mass effect 1 because its fixes nearly all the mistakes such a hell of lot more action orientated while keeping great story and graphics.

Bio Shock- A great game I feel has everything. Its story line is really fun but unlike other rpg its not a free roam for quests but straight through. It has good graphics but then it was never suppose to be amazing. The action is top notch with clever enemies on harder difficulties and couple weapons but loads of upgrades to improve your character, though no customization of character in this game. With the exception of cartoonish graphics bio shock has it all.

other highly reccommend not on ur list

-fallout 3

-dragon age

Well for your description I would say Oblivion hands down. I have played all those games and I find to be the most fun out of any of them. The game for me had tons of replay value and if you get the addons there are even more quest to its already billions. So you never really get bored the maps allow for large exploration and unlike the other two game this game Utilizes charater personalization to a whole new level. With several diffrent kinds of classes and birth signs it is the most fun game I have played in its price value.

i suggest mass effect, it is the best out of them bioshock has a good storyline but not that fun after a first try same with all scary games.

oblivion. great game but everything looks alike after while so it gets boring

mass effect each major place is differnt, and a a lot of wepons and armour, dlc and when you finish you can play as a differnt style or reupload your character to part 2

if not i suggest dragon age orgins or fable 2 both excellent storyline and dlc with alot of quests

I would choose Mass Effect or Bioshock, probably leaning towards Mass Effect because of the customisation you wanted. The main path of this game isn't that long but you can have fun exploring and doing sidequests that make it longer depending on how you play.

fabble 2,fallout 3,mass effect 2,Dragon Age Origins, and Alpha Protocol i know that some of these game can be FPS but they are fun!!

man i feel nerdy playn it but Oblivion is 1 of the best games i ever played . i would say get Oblivion its awesome
