 That's a good RPG December 14, 2007
I'd heard this was good, but I was still suprised. This has raised the bar as far as RPGs are concerned. Wide open, interactive enviroments and interesting story lines. They even add a nice vampire element into the game if your so inclined. Haven't played the expantions yet, but I doubt I'll be disappionted.
Most addictive game ever. December 11, 2007

You can kiss your social life good-bye. You will spend every free moment playing this game. You will ignore friends and family members to the point where they will start to be concerned for you.

...because you'll be stuck in Cyrodil for a LONG time! This game has over 200 hours of gameplay! It is an absolute must have. I bought this game back in October. It's now close to December, and I'm still not even %50 completed yet! This game is fantastic.
First off, let me say if you're not into the Dungeons & Dragons type of game, this isn't for you. However, if you are a fan of D&D, or ever were, this game is tailor made for you.
And the attention to details is astonishing. From creating a character, to growing as an adventurer, you can pick absolutely any path you want. Wanna be a divine knight? ok.
Wanna be an assassin? can do.
Wanna be a vampire? step on up.
A mage? got that covered too.
Oh, an archer you say? yup.
A thief? sure why not.
How about a warrior? absolutely.
And as far as races go, you can be man or woman, and many different races, from part lizard, to part cat, to orc, to man, to a few different types of elf, the options are endless.
And you can even custom build your class. Say you want to be a warrior mage, or a Mage thief. It's all possible.
You even pick your zodiac, and what sign you were born under directly influences your attribute bonuses.
AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING!
You adventure all over the country of Cyrodil, visiting the many cities. And nearly every single resident of the cities, including the counts & countesses, the shop owners, and the police have tasks for you to take on, earning yourself status, gold, magic weapons & armor, etc.
There are also many things hidden off the beaten path, from long abandoned mines and caves, full of monsters, riches, and adventures, to towns that are never outlined on the map, with their own set of residents with adventures to undertake!
There is also the main task - Save the world from the Daemons of Oblivion, who have assassinated the king and are trying to destroy the world of mankind!
It's absolutely the most fun I've ever had with a video game, and it just never ends! Some games, you pay $60 for and play for 8 hours and it's over. This game, you pay $60, and you won't need another game for a year!!!
Overall, the best game I've ever owned. I'd give it more stars if I could.
An awesome game indeed November 23, 2007

Elder Scrolls Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 November 21, 2007

For anyone who is an an RPG fan and has a Play Station 3, look no further. In my opinion it is easily one of the Best, if not THE best game for the PS3 thus far.
The GOTY Edition is basically the Oblivion main game with Oblivion's 2 largest Expansion packs bundled in with it, "The Knights of the Nine" and the "Shivering Isles Expansion" pack.
The "leveled system" isn't perfect, as it is way too easy to level up an underpowered character while the in-game mobs/adversaries automatically get stronger so there is no going back to the newbie sewer dungeon as the rats and easy goblins have leveled up to minotaurs and goblin lords.
Thankfully, for casual gamers you can pretty much follow and beat the main quest at level 1 and for those who have underpowered characters, you can adjust the difficulty slider to an easier level.
For the more hardcore RPG gamers, you can easily get much more involved and with careful balancing and leveling of stats and skills you can build a character that is more than a match for the mobs on the default "medium" level and perhaps even hold your own at the "hardest" level on the difficulty slider. gamefaqs.com has some really good guides that can help you along with all that.
Anyway, the bottom line is that if you have a PS3 and you are into RPGs this game is definitley recommended.
