The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is simply one of the best role-playing games ever made.

I have to say I am quite amazed how much I like Oblivion more than Morrowind. I wasn’t even going to buy this game untill I say the video marathon, which changed my mind the moment Greg killed that guy in the shop. Combat to me looked so much better than in Morrowind, which was the main reason I didn’t like it so much. I found that I was correct to assume the combat had been perfected, not to mention the other amazing qualities this game holds.

“The fourth Elder Scrolls entry is utterly brilliant and should not be missed by any adventure-spirited gamer.” -Gamesradar

first the graphics… amazing on to the next point

gameplay… everything a RPG is known for it does well, and it doesnt just do it well it does it better than anyother RPG i ever played. this game is the pinnacle of RPGs, it takes from all the success and takes the kinks out. even though you still start off killing rats leveling up (as in alot of RPG’s), the fighting is also the best ever in a RPG, it takes from jade empire, its real time and a hit is a hit, its just amazing and it isnt a hack and slash it has depth to it, and the bow is something to actually use. i dont want to stay on this part but believe me gameplay is perfect and the best ever in an RPG.

sound… now sound is pretty good, upbeat when it needs to be soothing when it needs to be and suspensful when it needs to be, it comes out overall perfect, but i have one compalint, not really different sounds for weapons, like you take out a long sword it sounds like your taking out a shortsword, same volume sound and length, even the dagger sounds like it is too long. but its not that big of a deal and the magic is very differentiating.

value… there should be downloadable content so thats something to look forward too. and this game by itself will kepp you occupied for HOURS and HOURS and HOUR… forget that this game will keep you bust for months. just make sure you like the character you made, your looking at his face for the whole game!

I have it for PC, and I must say I can think of no greater use for my new rig than this game. The graphics and crisp and the framerate steady, loading times are very short, thanks in part to my raid 0 setup, but also this game was streamlined for short loading times. Tne music is excellent, all the sounds are in my opinion, the map system is another great breakthrough from morrwind. I look at this game, and see many similarities to morrowind, but this game makes those qualities shine. I have to hand it to Bethesda, I was an EX customer, and they brought me back 110%.
