The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Product Review

Oblivion Game of the Year edition presents one of the best RPGs of all time like never before. Step inside the most richly detailed and vibrant game-world ever created. With a powerful combination of freeform gameplay and unprecedented graphics, you can unravel the main quest at your own pace or explore the vast world and find your own challenges. Also included in the Game of the Year edition are Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion, adding new and unique quests and content to the already massive world of Oblivion.

Product Features

Create and play any character you can imagine, from the noble warrior to the sinister assassin to the wizened sorcerer. An all-new combat and magic system brings first person role-playing to a new level of intensity where you feel every blow.
This groundbreaking AI system gives Oblivion?s characters full 24/7 schedules and the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. Non-player characters eat, sleep, and complete goals all on their own.
In the Shivering Isles expansion, see a world created in Sheogorath?s own image, one divided between Mania and Dementia and unlike anything you?ve experienced in Oblivion.
Battle the denizens of Shivering Isles, a land filled with hideous insects, Flesh Atronachs, skeletal Shambles, amphibeous Grummites, and many more.
The Knights of the Nine have long been disbanded. Reclaim their former glory as you traverse the far reaches of Cyrodill across an epic quest line.

This review is from: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Video Game)

I'm 14 year's old and I've played only the latest Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion, and one of Bethesda's other games, Fallout 3. In this review I will discuss the pros and cons of Oblivion. I hope you find it useful.

Oblivion: RPG, Open World, Leveling System, No Online features.

This review contains no spoilers.

Please note that I have not tried all available downloadable content (DLC).

Oblivion is a medieval fantasy world, including things such as swords and goblins.

Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has earned itself a Platinum Hit award, has received a perfect score of 10 in GameInformer (video game magazine) and I'm sure there are tons and tons of other reviews on this game talking about how pefect it is. All of that is true.

In the beginning of the game, you can, of course, customize your character. However, Oblivion has the most intricate character-customizing system I've yet to encounter. You can...Read more

I'm giving this a single star just so people will find this review and make note of the fact that this is the Platinum Hits Edition, not the Game of the Year Edition the product description implies.

There are no expansion packs included with the version. No Shivering Isles, no Knights of the Nine.

The game is still the great Oblivion, but it is just Oblivion.

This applies to the Xbox 360 version only, I don't know what's included with the PC version.

Hands Down my Favorite Game, November 18, 2010

I've been playing this game for a while now and it's hand down my favorite game. I was a huge fan of Morrowind as well. It's so awesome and there are so many possibilities in this game, I just wish I had more time to play it. I'm always trying to talk people into buying this game and for $20 you'd be crazy not to just try it. I'm hoping they come out with a new one soon. :)
