Product Description
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the most richly detailed and vibrant game-world ever created. This new chapter uses next-generation technologies to create a fully immersive gaming adventure. The Emperor of Tamriel has been assassinated and the killer still runs loose; meanwhile, no heir sits on the throne. With no Emperor upon the throne, the gates of Oblivion open wide and demons invade. Your quest is to find the lost heir and place him on the throne, before demons destroy the land. Next-generation graphics with pixel-shader effects for high-definition TVs, creating lifelike towns & dungeons and the most realistic forests

swell as swell September 12, 2008
get it. its a good time waster. i got it just for the amazing detail, variety and all the stuff you can steal from peasants.
 Great RPG September 2, 2008
If you like RPG's.. then this is a must have game.
The only draw back i see is that it is NOT playable online.
The graphics are top notch, game play is good. There are a great many add ons to edit this game as well.. so if looking for an open ended game with well over 300 hours of RPG fun, then look no further.
If you don't like it, you should stick to pacman! September 2, 2008
This game is one of the best RPG ever created for the following reasons:
* Stunning graphics that will make you forget about your wife and children
* Fun gameplay with great combat system
* wide range of skills where each one was thought of carefully
* open world where you can do anything from going to different cities and choosing the quests you want to do first to joining different guilds
* you can steal, kill people you aren't supposed to, commit offenses and serve time in jail; its totally open!
* you can own houses and store items in them, and you can duel people for fame in the arena!
* awesome customer service by bethesda!! my save files were Corrupted and when I emailed them, they replied the same day and asked me to email them my save files. They sent my save files for debugging and fixed them!!!! they fixed my files!! now how is that for customer service!!!
 Sound problem August 31, 2008
My son bought this game for himself, with the little money he has left. Unfortunately there is a sound problem with this game: ear-piercing buzz comes on throughout. I went online to research the problem, which apparently is known and not uncommon, depending on the set up of your computer/sound card. The game itself is fun, but not really playable unless you turn the sound off. Go online and make sure your sound setup will work with this game before purchase. (I have two kids who are constantly playing all sorts of video games on the computer - this is the first game we have had any problem with.)
 A great game with one major flaw August 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really liked this game at first, but I couldn't bring myself to playing it when I found out one particular quality of the game. What I am referring to is the fact that no matter where you are, the game difficulty will be appropriately set to your current level. This is one of the worst decisions ever. What is the point of writing a game that is totally immersive and free ranging if you can survive any area you wander into. The fun of playing such a game is the possibility of wandering into an area where you could get slaughtered if you came across some high level creature. You reload and make a mental note of that area and look forward to going back there when you are more powerful.
This is just my personal opinion about one aspect of the game. If you don't feel the same way, then this will be a very enjoyable game for you. If you agree, try the Gothic series (Best immersive games I have ever played).
