Greatness   02/10/2008
By Meankid from Texas

What's great about it: A great game you will find yourself playing nearly every spare moment you get
What's not so great: you have to go to work, school, or spend time with your family and friends

"This is the 2nd of the Elder Scrolls games I've played, both are fantastic RPG games. Because Oblivion is so in-depth, it's more like reading a great fantasy novel, where you are the main character and your actions change an entire world. The game has so many extra facets that you will never get bored or find yourself doing repetative quests."

Game that keeps on giving   01/01/2008
By TReedy from MD

What's great about it: Expandable, hundreds of hours of gameplay
What's not so great: High graphics requirements

"I've had this game for over two months now and am still finding quests to do and places to explore. The Oblivion modding community is large and they provide plenty of free ways to modify or enhance the game. It's also a great game for those who don't have large blocks of time to play... you can do a little at a time. Just make sure you have as good a graphics cards as you can afford. My ATI HD2600 on a P4 rig handles the game nicely with high-detail."

Excellent Game   10/08/2007
By Cyliena from Michigan

What's great about it: Very fun game, great box set
What's not so great: High learning curve, intensive graphics

"Oblivion is a great addition to the Morrowind series. Familiar races to play are back again for previous fans of the series. A great amount of customization can go into your character's physical looks, which is a wonderful addition.

Gameplay is fun, but the game rushes suggestions on what new thing to try out (such as check out your inventory! try attacking this rat!), which can be hard on people new to the series. The game manual is helpful if you happen to miss a suggestion during this phase of the game.

I also suggest having a powerful processor and video card, or else expect to turn the graphics WAY down. It is a beautiful world, but a very intense one to process.

Overall, Oblivion is a very entertaining game that one can be engrossed in for hours. I highly suggest buying it to any fan of RPG gaming."

More Oblivion to Love!   09/24/2007
By supahgrandpoobahnator from California

"Oblivion is the latest chapter in the Elder Scrolls series, and I would say it is the best by far. The graphics are fantastic, especially outside of the cities in the forests. There are tons of quests to do, and many paths for your character to take (good, evil, etc), and what lifestyle you choose has a bearing on what quests you have the chance to attempt. There's SO much to do, I know that some people can get overwhelmed because it's not obvious in the very beginning what to do. I just recommend talking to a few people and you'll find your first quest. Because of the branching nature of the game, you can play it four-five-even six times and still not see everything. The best thing about the Game of the Year edition is you don't have to pay to buy the Knights of the Nine, and Shivering Isles expansions, they're included!"

Strong RPG   09/20/2007
By MightyMugen from Houston, TX

"At first when I played Oblivion I did not get what was going on. There is so much in the game that you always lose the main plot of the game. I've seen people that put more than 700 hours of gameplay into Oblivion and still have plenty of time to put into the game. I started the game again and i cannot get enough of it. There is so much to do it seems like forever untill you beat everything there is to offer. I recommend this game because it will keep you entertained and also takes a very long time to beat..."
