 Free-roaming, goblin-slaying genius December 11, 2007

The problem that plagues so many games: a linear nature. You move from one pre-defined objective to another. You tick a series of boxes and, after 8-12 hours of gameplay, it's all over.
Oblivion blows any preconception you may have about linear gameplay out of the water. Quite simply - if it's possible to be "simple" about this wonderful, complex, absorbing beast of a game - your character is given a plot to follow in the game's opening sequence. Ten minutes later, after you've finished your initial challenge, you can completely ignore the story and just wander around slaying, spellcasting, thieving, selling stuff... and so on, and so on, ad inifinitum. Quests abound, and you can leave them halfway through and come back whenever you want. You can be nasty. You can be nice. You can be both, if you want. Oh yes, plus it looks stunning, sounds incredible, plays like a charm and will surgically remove any social life you thought you had for as long as you own it. I've just donated my copy to a friend, and as a result, I have my girlfriend back. Just about. Buy it, and be prepared to lose touch with your friends, family, and possibly your job as well. Utterly, utterly brilliant.
Brilliant beyond imagination! January 27, 2008

Usually when a game has a story, you expect that the game will have limited playability, you will be forced to stick to specific tasks and have limited abilities.
This, however, is a game that will let you stray just as far as you like from the story and do your own thing! And it's not so GTA in it's approach either (limited side stories, things to do), but in actual fact you could spend hours running from (and slaying) city guards having committed a bunch of crimes. You could master the guilds of theivery, mages, fighters, and others. You could wander into the woods risking life and limb against the wierd and wonderful array from creatures to collect ingredients to mix your own potions which you can then sell on or use to manipulate your abiltities to whatever end you choose!!! It really is that open!
I have clocked up 140 hours of play since I bought this game, and I still can't say the end is in sight. And the thing is, i'm still as addicted now as when I first started. At the 40 I paid for it, I couldn't say any other game i've played on could offer such good value for money.
You begin the game by choosing your race and modifying your look, which is great. The map on first glance is large, but as you explore more, you begin to realise that the map is, infact, huge, due to the abundance of 'other worlds' such as the forts, caves and oblivion gates.
For anyone with a PS3 (not as grand on other machines), this may have been one of the first games to be released, but this could well be the best game on this console for a long time to come.

Brilliant, if you have any liking at all for RPG's then this game will not disappoint in any way. 100's of hours of gameplay, and really satisfying, especially when your character becomes more advanced and you become really hard, summon daemons to fight for you, create your own magic weapons and armour. battle against skeletons, zombies, vampires etc, dungeons and lands to explore and plunder! the riches, oh the sweet sweet riches, everything that you expect from a RPG is all in this game. i could happily play this until fallout 2 comes out in 1 years time.

I originally posted a critical review of this game based on problems encountered within minutes of starting gameplay. These took the form of screen freezes and console resets.
Having checked the PS3 display settings, I changed from 1080i which had proved fine for the likes of Assassin's Creed & PES 2008 to the 720p recommended on the game's packaging. Hey presto! Problem solved. If you are experiencing similar problems you could try this adjustment.
Having been able to make a little more progress now, the early indications confirm the majority view.
This gives the impression of being a deep and complex game with the potential for many hours of entertaining exploration.
