Oblivion, despite minor shortcomings, has failed to disappoint. Promises kept or broken, the game has delivered. It's a truly dynamic experience and, regardless of whether or not the changes made to the series were depressing to die-hard series fans, the game is impressive to both novice and veteran RPG-gamers. That's not even mentioning that it's damn fun to play (I logged 60 hours before letting myself begin this review, and I've taken two breaks so far from writing to go play my new character) . I can't score this game a perfect 10, because any game's going to be struggling in one area or another. However, I'd bet that if I sat here for a full day trying to think of a better game, I wouldn't have one. Of course, I'm not going to... but the bet stands, and that's why this game's fully earned its score. You can lose yourself completely in this game and love never finding your way back. Congratulations, Bethesda, you made one hell of a game.
The second is at ByteSizedReviews with a rating of "Classic":
Oblivion has its faults, but with a game of this size and scope its hardly surprising. Luckily, unless you have stability issues with your machine, the game is an absolute joy to play that it makes the minor issues with the game irrelevant. Other review sites have given Oblivion glowing reports, I'm pleased to say I agree with them. This is the best game I've played in ages, and perhaps the best RPG I've ever had the privilege to play.
And the third is at ImpulseGamer with an overall score of 9.7/10:
Overall, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is an amazing game that deserves to be played by many. If you have not gotten the chance to play it, or if you are wondering if it's worth the money, this game is worth every cent you pay. Just get ready for hours upon hours of game play and possibly some sleep deprivation.
