If you're a fan of fantasy or role-playing games, you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't get Oblivion. It'll suck away all your free time, and you'll love it for that.
The second is at Xbox Gaming League with an overall score of 9.5/10:
Once again, Bethesda sets the bar for all RPGs. Not only did they set the bar, they created a new one. Oblivion is now the game that all RPGs will have to measure themselves against.
The three years it took to develop this game was well worth the wait. As an avid RPG fan having played this genre of game from the early days of Ultima, I can honestly say that Oblivion is the best RPG released.ever.
And the third is at The Village Voice with no overall score:
The key to enjoying the rich experience of Oblivion is to have a wide-eyed sense of discovery and a nagging need to explore everything. Because of the circuitous routes you take, you'll probably get lost now and then. The game itself helps you to find your way with everything from a compass to various maps. You'll also encounter zombies and goblins early on, and the way they pop out of the darkness frightens you in the way the Doom 3 did. As you move forward, you'll end up in Sancre Tor, which is full of the undead. Ghosts here will help you, and scare your pants off, too. Tip: To fight off the ghosts, you can't use just any weapon. You'll have to find a silver weapon.
