 bugs galore April 13, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
THis game is truly fantastic, but once you get quite far on in the game, there are constant bugs - on certain side quests and even in the main one itself. It drove me crazy in the end, constantly saving because I never knew when the next bug would arrive and have now just stopped playing altogether. I wish there was this type of review around when I bought it.
I have scoured the net and have seen that a lot of gamers are having this problem. However, it was a great game before the bugs.
 Oblivion reigns supreme April 8, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
RPG's will no doubt soar to new heights in the future but right now there is none better than Bethesda's amazing 'Oblivion'.
There are so many standout features to this game but at the top of my list are visuals, scope, atmosphere, playability and storytelling.
If you are a reader of epic fantasy novels or ever played tabletop RPG's in your youth, then this could very well be what you saw in your mind's eye. Countless dank, darkly lit tunnels, caves, forts and castles, menacing enemies. The spell casting system has a visceral physicality that makes it very satisfying throughout. The fighting system is clever and versatile - a more powerful combat experience than say World of Warcraft. Combat actually suits the console interface and the remainder of the game is surprisingly easy to play on a console given the amount of story and character interaction.
I could write a book length review of this game because the game world is absolutely massive even before the expansions (included in this version) come into play. The imaginative plotting in this game puts it above many other peers - I've played 40 game days and, amongst many other adventures, I've executed a quest for half a day inside a painter's painting, I've followed a mad man through his paranoid belief that a number of NPC's are out to kill him and so on and so on. The beauty of the writing is the moral dilemmas that are sometimes posed by a quest's conclusion. You might discover that you rescued an item for a character who does not rightfully own it or you are unsure which of two characters to support.
I've played, I estimate 40 or so hours of 'Oblivion' and I suspect I've not tapped 5% of the game world. It's always engaging and often exciting attempting to overcome the myriad of clever quests or daunting enemies put in your way in this game world.
Last and not least, this game looks simply magnificent, it's an adult fantasy world, more convincing than the partial manga style of many of the MMORGs. It certainly has the scope and grandeur that rivals any of them.
If you are partial to Tolkien style RPG entertainment - you really must experience 'Oblivion'.
best RPG ever made March 25, 2008
All I can say is the only that could make it better is if it were a MMORPG
Must-own PS3 title March 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I owned the original ES4 on PC, and hoped this would be a great port to the PS3. After seeing the GOTY edition with the expansions, I grabbed it as my first game for my new PS3. I am thoroughly happy with this purchase. It took some adapting to get used to playing an RPG with a controller instead of the keyboard/mouse combo, but now I actually prefer it. And being able to play ES4 on a large HD screen is unbeatable.
If you've never played Elder Scrolls, but are the least bit interested in role-playing games, I still highly recommend Oblivion. The graphics are great and the game rewards those who venture "off the beaten path." It has many quests, and still maintains a very open ended structure that allows you to go anywhere and do pretty much anything you want, all while developing your character. There is lots of replayability potential. I am already planning to play the game again as a different class.
Game of the Year! February 15, 2008
This is truley a "free reign" game. Great graphics, great game play, and decent story line make this a fun game to play. With tons of side quests and sub quests you never get bored!
