With so much going into this game, I am truly impressed in the way it all came together. If you are an RPG fan then you should defiantly get this title. If you are new to the genre then this is one you should defiantly check out. If you have not enjoyed other RPG's in the past, I would still recommend you at least rent this game and give it a shot. This is what gaming is all about. I know that I am a true fan, this is one of the highest scores I have ever given any game on any system.
The second is at TGSN with an overall score of 9.6/10:
This should last you at least a year, you could get by on this with no more games for an absolute age, and it is surely the only essential single player game released for quite some time. You could write hundreds of novels about Oblivion and the Elder Scrolls universe, there is so much to discover, so much we haven't mentioned, but we implore you to buy Oblivion, even if you don't like or even if you hate RPGs, this is the perfect game to change your mind. It worked for me.
The third is at Evil Avatar with an overall score of 4.5/5:
In conclusion, Oblivion is an immersive, fun, and must buy title for most RPG players. For those who are casual RPG players, or maybe not RPG fans at all, the freedom and style of the title may not be appealing. As a twenty-one year RPG player I was overwhelmed with what I could do in the title and it took almost ten hours to get out of the first city. The short-term fun is only bound by the amount of time you have for the title, while the long-term fun could last over a hundred hours depending on how much the world and the quests are explored. The game offers incredible replay value as it can be played again with a different set of skills and different perspective or goal in mind. The lack of multiplayer is not a handicap for this game; if you're looking for multiplayer then I'd recommend looking at World of Warcraft or EverQuest. This title deserves a spot in your gaming collection.
And the fourth is at Gamer Within with an overall score of 9.2/10:
The sheer size of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is overwhelming; to the point that I could continue this review on over several more pages. Alas, I'm sure you have better things to do than continue reading about a game that you could instead be playing, which is something that I recommend you do wholeheartedly. Oblivion is, quite simply, a massively enjoyable, unique and varied experience that will please almost every RPG and adventure fan, whether it be the wealth of different quests to participate in, the different people that you meet or the ability to explore hundreds of square miles of interesting wilderness and townships. The Elder Scrolls series has certainly established itself firmly within the RPG genre, with the latest offering further heightening the series' glory. Oblivion is one of the best looking, best sounding and more enjoyable games currently available for the Xbox 360, if only you can forgive the sometimes unintelligent AI.
