 The game that convinced me that RPG's aren't sleep inducing October 9, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is easily one of the best games I have ever played. I wouldn't normally touch this sort of game with a partically long pole, but decided to give it a chance. It gets the balance between action and role-playing just right. Once you get your head around the slightly complexed leveling up system (best learnt by jumping into the game and working it out as you go along, It'll all suddenly seem so clear)you'll be hooked. Unlike World Of Warcraft it doesn't take 50 hours to get to the point when you finally feel upto taking on that deadly mudcrab. There is a remarkable amount of quests and side quests & the Game of The Year Edition includes the Shivering Isles expansion which has around 15 hours worth of extra gameplay. Overall I must have spent upto 200 hrs playing this game and there's still stuff I haven't seen yet. Also the different characters you can create genuinely give a completely different way of playing the game. If you play through the game as a warrior say, then the next time as a stealthy assassin the game has a completely different feel to it. As you've probably guessed this isn't the sort of game you rent for the weekend. Prepare to have your life hijacked!
P.S. This game includes no beards. Well only one... but that's ok. He's a mad god. He's allowed.
Amazing December 31, 2008
This has to be one of the greatest games I have ever played.
I wasn't sure whether to buy this game, but now I can see that it was the best 18 I will ever spend. Even though its a brand new game, and it wasn't specifically made for the PS3, its still a great game.
The size of the world is amazing, and the graphics look nice as well.
I only played it for a few hours, but I love it already. You can walk around a massive world, walk into any building.
Bad points- the way in which the character jumps.
AND THATS ABOUT IT. i haven't had any gliches yet.
Thoroughly recommend buying this game.
RPG of the highest order January 2, 2009
Bethesda Game Studios achieved something that is to-date, unrivaled on any next-gen console in my opinion.
Oblivion is both beautiful and harrowing, vast but at the same time very intriquit, it has immense depth whilst giving the option to explore only if you desire.
Your character is customizable in nearly all aspects from the race, type of player you wish to be and exactly how you wish your character to appear in game. Depending on what race you choose depends on what attributes you will be assigned like how intelligent you will be or how good you are at bartering to how you fair with different kind of weaponry. Will all these aspects, the game has such longevity and replayability it is untrue. I have owned this game on 2 separate occasions now as the first time I traded it in. Then I came across the "Game of the Year Edition" which I didn't previously have. My Oh My, the game is EPIC in every which way what with the additional expansions (Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine). I must have played this game well over 60 hours with much more to play and I was not once bored. Okay so some caves, castes etc are identikit in that they look identical but I could see past that. Missions are plenty and varied, like the following guilds you can join (all at the same time if you like):-
The Fighters Guild - you are there as an army for hire.
The Mages Guild - You are there for the good of the mages, you will learn magic etc
The Thieves Guild - You are hired to steal many items for the guild
The Dark Brotherhood - You are sent on assassination plots, here you get to act like a hitman & "whack" people.
Then you have the expansion packs, they add easily an additional 20 hours (minimum) to the overall game. They really are the cherry on the icing and blew me completely away. Where you actually can become a god or get a team of knights together - FANTASTIC stuff, the stuff of boyhood dreams!
The graphics are great and the sound is really good with voice acting from such people as Patrick Steward (Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek and Sean Bean (Silent Hill movie or the TV series Sharp). Although these two legends are just a couple of the voice actors, the dialogue can become overused and many of the characters have the same voice but nevertheless, this doesn't distract from the brilliance of the game too much). There are a few bugs and glitches that I came across but for the size of this game, I simply didn't care. There has been so much effort poured into this game you really do appreciate what has been done.
I cannot do this game justice and put into words how wonderful this game is and just how engrossing I personally found it to be.
I'm actually thinking about buying it for a third time!
A game which has really made an effort! January 3, 2009
I got this game at christmas and haven't stopped playing it since! I think there's quite a few things which make the game so unique and great!
First of all simple stuff, the graphics. They're very impressive, and you've got to remember this game was first released a few years ago. If you're walking at night on the game, just look up at the sky and that is an example of the quality of the graphics.
Next Gameplay, there are very few games where you can simply say to yourself, "I don't fancy doing the main quest, I think i'll just do a random quest or join a guild, or just battle some creatures in a cave, or just simply explore!" The amount of gameplay avaliable is very impressive
Another thing which i think makes the game great is that every building there is in the game you can go into or break into, I think that makes the game very good.
Overall this games got a lot in it and i would definitley say that it is one the best games i've played, i really get the impression that the game has been made with a lot of hard work, and if you don't believe me there is a reason why it is playstation platinum!
