While we've had to wait longer than most of the rest of the world for the console launch of the 360, we've enjoyed the benefit of having an improved launch lineup to enjoy with it, including titles like Fight Night Round 3 and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. They're both great games, and opinion may of course vary on this, but Oblivion arguably comes closest to being the 360's first true system-selling game. Now, if you'll excuse me, the guard's just wandered off into the darkness, and I've got some poison to deliver...
And the second is at RPGFan with an overall score of 90%:
Honestly, I could sit here all day and talk about this game. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has so many things to see, do, and experience that it's impossible to cover them all in a simple review. Fans of epic RPGs with deep and involving plots will eat this up and the time spent here reading about the game could be better used in actually playing it. It's not a perfect game (but I've yet to see a game that is), but if this is the direction next generation RPGs are headed in, then fans of the genre should rejoice. Oblivion is a game people will still be calling a classic a decade from now and in the fickle world of gaming, that's high praise indeed.
