 Questionable Quality, but Otherwise Complete May 6, 2008

Ah the World of Oblivion.
Quite simply one of the most amazing games ever made, in my humble opinion.
The game guide - well, it could be better...
I had to return the first book - a series of pages were crimped and terribly misprinted. I would have returned the second copy but the retailer did not have another. The text in many of the sidebar sections of the pages are horribly blurred - in some sections completely unintelligible - sections that of course pertain to the main storyline of the game.
Aside from poor printing issues, the book contains an unbelievable amount of information. The book is huge! Especially helpful is an index, which allows you to quickly get help on some of the more obscure topics of Oblivion, such as the magical soul gems, buying houses, and owning horses.
What I especially enjoyed about this book was how it gave you a little "behind the scenes" insight into the story, the characters, and the expansive land that is Cyrodiil. On occassions when I'd get a little trigger happy and skip some dialogue, I could usually go back to the book to pick up the part of story that I missed.
Don't buy a shrink-wrapped copy. Leaf through it to make sure it's legible, then sit down and prepare to use a lot of spare time. Also, be sure to flip through the non-quest information towards the back of the book - there's some pretty neat stuff documented that without this book, most players probably wouldn't even know about.
 I'm a Novice, but this Game is Unbelievable! March 31, 2008

I got this game for my teenage kids. They talked me into playing it (I don't play a lot of video games) and I got hooked. It is amazing how a person can do what he wants, go where he wants, when he wants in a game. The scenery and animation is breathtaking and the game interaction is exciting and enjoyable. I really like the feeling of total freedom of movement and choice of adventures to partake of. If you haven't played RPG before, you'll love this one.
Fun January 18, 2008
This game has great graphics and LOTS of detail. I really don't know how someone would play it without the Guide.
An Extended Manual to a great game January 8, 2008

Now here's an extended manual we can all love.
Prima has always been very classy about their guides, even including a few shakey no-no's(initial guide's were not binded very well) they've always managed to put their own personal touches into certain guides, as if to let us now that this is one they enjoyed playing immensely.
Though it does NOT include the Shivering Isle's strategy this is STILL a great purchase for those picking up the game. One of the few guides that help in varying approaches to enemies and bosses.
Excellent book October 28, 2007

An excellent guide. Complete and thorough. Very easy to find a section for later reference. The only thing I would've done different is made different colored edges for each section so I wouldn't have to use stickies for quick flipping.
