AWSOME!

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
I've been playing this for months and it is far and away my favorite.

I do suggest that if you have an HD TV that you make sure your xbox 360 is turned up to the highest HD your TV supports. we didn't know there was a setting for that (xbox setting not game setting), but after we adjusted it the quality level of the graphics increased dramaticly.

There are tons of add-ins in the xbox marketplace, some free some for a fee. They just added a couple of new ones recently. I do suggest the guid book, not the "cheet" but there are just so many quests that the book will help you make sure you don't miss any and its also helpful in understanding some of the mechanics of the game.

Incredible

General Comments:
DO NOT GET THIS GAME IF YOU WANT TO HAVE TIME FOR ANYTHING ELSE!! It's addictive. The in-game world is hugely sprawling and open-ended. It would take days (yes, IRL(in real life) days) just to wander around the country side and find all the little villages, towns, waterfalls, and other attractions/distractions, never mind the underground networks of caves and Ayleid ruins or the entirely separate plane of reality through the Oblivion gates.

The best part is, it's completely up to you to decide what to focus on. If you find, instead of fighting ugly monsters from other dimensions you'd rather break into people's houses and steal their stuff to sell in the markets you can do that. Not only can you do that, you can make a bonafide in-game career of it! Or you could be a full-time explorer looking for exotic artifacts.

My girlfriend and I have logged just over 400 hours playing this game and we're not even hardcore gamers, it's just that fun! I'm looking forward to Bethesda's 2008 release of Fallout 3, should be the best RPG ever if it's anything like Oblivion.

has to be best rpg of all time...until the sequel

General Comments:
Oblivion is well known for being one of the most interactive, fun, addicting rpg's of all time. And possibly, it could be true.

PRO's

-The graphics are AMAZING!!! the sunsets, the towns, the rivers, the forests its just made so beautifully

-The gameplay is great. For big rpg players, it shouldnt take that much time to get the hang of, but for newbies of the rpg, it might take a while. Dont worry though, just keeping playing and soon enough you'll master it.

-It is really really long. Seriously, it seems like the game will never end. You have the main quest(which is long by itself), a list of different guilds to complete(Fighter's Guild, Mage's Guild, Theft's Guild, and The Dark Brotherhood, each take a good length of time to finish) There is also a Gladiator-Like arena to fight in. That once you finish, you can keep fighting in it to make extra gold, plus many townsfolk have problems that are need of your assistance, many caves to travel through, places to explore, shrines, and so much more. It unbelievable.

-AI is perfect. It seems like everyone in the game has there own personality. If someone who is a close friend of your character dies, you actually feel like you lost a real friend! its kind of scary if you think about how in depth the game is.

-unlike many games, you really get to choose from a selection of your characters race, and also choose his birthsigns, and whichever one you choose will decide what your character trates are and how experienced his is in certain catagories.

-The replay value is just as fun as your first time playing. Since you can onl choose from on race and birthsign for one game, you could play 10 seperate new games and they would all in some ways come out differently.

CON's

-The only minor flaw is the loading time. It takes a while to load some maps and when you walk around for a long period of time it will randomly freeze for a split of a second to load during gameplay constantly (mostly if your in the forest) but dont let that small flaw make you not purchase this game. Because everything else is near perfect if not, perfect.

-It would of been fun to have some sort of online play for this game. But hey, as fun as it already is, not a big deal at all.


Overall...well, I think you get it. Oblivion is one of the best games out right now, and it will go down in gaming history. A must have for any type of gamer.

Everyone who voted 5 star is right

There is so much to like about this game, I don't think I need to elaborate any more than what has already been said on these reviews. The only thing I think they would need to improve on in the next sequel is:

- A multiplayer feature
- More than 5 voice-overs for the NPCs

This game plays so much better than Morrowind mostly due to the travel form option in maps, and the elimination of spells that force you to remedial tasks (such as sap strength which forces you to run naked back to town and cure yourself if you don't have a potion to increase strength).

This game truly gives you freedom of choice in what you wish to do. There isn't anything I can say more that others in these reviews have pointed out. If you like RPGs, this is the game to buy for the 360.
