 Like the Universe but bigger and more Mud Crabs June 16, 2007

This game defines what RPGs should be. Not following some half arsed story
line and getting 15 exp for defeating a singing clock. Not traveling down hairline thin corridors and fighting mindless enemy after mindless enemy with your stick of hitting +4. No this is REAL role-play, real adventure, reality synthesised (RSX pun :D). There is no simple way of putting together a honest fully descriptive review of the amazing freedom you are indulging in if you buy this game. It may seem unforgivably daunting and tedious by some on the review on here but it is truly far from it, true you start off without being told anything, just plonked into the middle of it all, but theres nothing wrong with that, cause here in the province of Cyrodill you are free to choose your own path. If your really confused which you shouldn't honestly be for more than 10 minutes, just talk a walk up to the Imperial city, and talk to some people, then head of to Weynon Priory, and your away on the main story line. Also there is markers to every place you need to go for a quest it honestly couldn't be more simple to get from A - Z and all the places in between there including the greek alphabet :) (Geek joke)
A few things I'd like to point out just tp give you a feel of how much choice there is:
1) Make your own spells with a variety of wacky or explosive effects, at the Arcane University.
2) Wanna RP a merchant? Why not. Theres a multitude of people to sell to and things to collect aquiring money is an adventure in its own right.
3) Silent and Swift assassination your thing? Well the Dark Brotherhood are here or you and Lucian is eagerly awaiting your first blood.
4) Good guy Bad guy its your choice, but either way your going to make some enemies and good friends to kill em. Although keep in mind "the 9" love the righteous and hate the wicked, yet many Daedric Gods wont even acknowledge the meticulously good.
5) Weapons weapons weapons weapons and more weapons. but they'll cost you, but you'll never feel out axed with a Dwarven Battleaxe in your hands, unless they have a Daedric Warhammer that is o.O.
6) The theives are a noble kin, and have some of the best paying and most rewarding adventures in the game.
7) A painting speaks a thousand words, most of which are cursing when you've just got yourself stuck in the painting and had your brush stolen by a crazy Breton and his painted trolls.
8) The plains of Oblivion kinda like hell but fun and full of rare Daedric artifacts.
9) Illusion, Mysticism, Conjuration, and Destruction are just four schools of magic of which there are many and each just as demanding but equally worth it.
10) Roman Gladiators! Bah wimps! Bloody noobs! prove your worth as a gladiator and destory the opposition, rising to the supreme rank of Grand Champion. But be warned the last battle could be a doozy.
11) Being invisible is fun for so many reasons ;)
12) 9 Citys, 1 of which in flames, and its your job to sort it. Or you could ignore it your choice (again) Oh and they all have different cultures and settings, with varying degrees of hospitality or hostility. Thsts just the cities mind, then theres towns and villages spread across the map randomly. Note: Hackdirt is a place some may wish to avoid.
Well thats all I'll say on the matter, there is so much more, but I don't want to end up spoiling the awesomeness that is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
This game is amazing!! (and addictive) April 2, 2007

NOTE - I own the US version of the game... so YES, I actually have played it.
After reading reviews, and seeing some screen shots of this game... I wasn't 100% convinced. But I listened to the high praise that the reviewers gave it. The game lives up to the hype! The "world" that you adventure through is so large, that I can't see myself finding all of the hidden locations throughout. The way they structure your quests (both primary and secondary quests) makes it very easy to track what you have to do. But you never have to follow the quests. You can do your own thing - wander around and kill people, or try to work your way up in various guilds. The game is open-ended. WARNING: This game is very addictive. Your friends / family / etc are not going to be happy. Be prepared to call in sick!

This game has everything. Quite literally everything, it has about 300 hours of playtime (inc. knights of the nine) and let me give you a warning, if you have a speech, exam, degree to revise for or practice (thank god I don't, my gcse's are next year) then do not buy this game. It is one of the most engrossing games I have ever played. It rivals GTA: San Andreas on environment and beats it on gameplay and graphics. You can do whatever you want. If you kill someone important it affects the overall outcome of you game.
Endless fun... if you like this sort of thing May 10, 2007

Because what is endless fun for some could prove to be a lifeless chore for others. What is unrestricted, open-ended gameplay for some might be directionless for others. Although I love this game, I can see why others might hate it just as passionately.
Oblivion on the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360 version in most areas, but falls short in one respect: the controls. This is not a fault of the game itself, but a problem with the PS3 controller's analogue sticks which have a massive dead centre, making it extremely difficult to aim with any prescision. You move the analogue stick in one direction, way off-centre, and nothing seems to happen until you hit the point at which movement is registered, and then suddenly the camera is spinning around wildly. This is in stark contrast to the Xbox 360's controller, whose analogue sticks are far more responsive.
If you can get past that (and you'll have to for many other games if you own a PS3), almost everything else about this game exceeds the Xbox 360 version. The level load times are much shorter, the graphics are sharper with much better contrast in the dark sections of the game. The 5.1 surround sound is also a lot better. No longer are key conversations drowned out by the background music, and specific environmental sounds (such as approaching enemies) are much easier to pick out and locate.
Also, this version packs in the Knights of the Nine expansion pack, and Bethesda have said in recent interviews that they plan to release The Shivering Isles pack to PlayStation Network at the end of this year.
So, if wandering around solving mysteries and slaying creatures with all manner of medieval-style weaponry is your thing, then Oblivion provides that in spades. In fact, it's debatable as to whether it's even possible to 'finish' Oblivion, as the potential for mischief once you've finished all of the quests is endless.
Just make sure you have at least one other 'light relief' game on hand too. I chose Motorstorm for that.
The best RPG. Ever. June 26, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
All I can say is WOW! This game lives up to every review out there. It is one of the best gaming experiences and in my opinion if you are new to RPGs this will be ideal as your entry into the realm of role playing.
It looks and acts fantastically on an HD TV. The game can be a bit jerky at times, but you are so immersed that you hardly notice it.
Get it today. If you have a PS3 this is essential gaming.
Be warned though, you need to spend a lot of time on it!
