Very Fun Game With Plenty of Stuff to Do

Its been a while since this game fist came out and I have just gotten my hands on it for the first time. Since its release there has been a graphical update to the game which will download as long as your xbox is connected to the internet. The game still looks great even compared to todays games and the sound is quite good also.

The best thing about this game is the variety of things you can do. There is a main quest that you can jump into, but you aren't required to. You can choose to search through the towns for quest to participate in or just search the world of oblivion for items. Character customization is very in depth allowing you to create a very personalized character suited for the way you like to play. The quest are fun and varied and allow you to solve them in different ways most of the time.

There are a few qualms I have with this game. One is that many of the main characters have the same voice. Another thing is that sometimes quests can get repetitive, but if you get sick of your current quest you can always just find another one. The game can also be a little glitchy in some places. For example, if you just of certain cliffs you can get stuck between rocks and be unable to move, forcing you to reload your game (fortunately you can save anywhere). Load times can also be a problem if you're of the impatient type. Overall, the good of this game overcomes any these issues.

This is a game where you could easily throw lots of time into because of the huge ammount of possibilities. If you just follow the main quest the game could be beat relatively quickly, about 20 hours, but then you would miss out on a lot of fun of the game. If you've missed out on this game until now find a copy and pick it up. Its a good game that just about anyone can enjoy.

Incredible

DO NOT GET THIS GAME IF YOU WANT TO HAVE TIME FOR ANYTHING ELSE!! It's addictive. The in-game world is hugely sprawling and open-ended. It would take days (yes, IRL(in real life) days) just to wander around the country side and find all the little villages, towns, waterfalls, and other attractions/distractions, never mind the underground networks of caves and Ayleid ruins or the entirely separate plane of reality through the Oblivion gates.

The best part is, it's completely up to you to decide what to focus on. If you find, instead of fighting ugly monsters from other dimensions you'd rather break into people's houses and steal their stuff to sell in the markets you can do that. Not only can you do that, you can make a bonafide in-game career of it! Or you could be a full-time explorer looking for exotic artifacts.

My girlfriend and I have logged just over 400 hours playing this game and we're not even hardcore gamers, it's just that fun! I'm looking forward to Bethesda's 2008 release of Fallout 3, should be the best RPG ever if it's anything like Oblivion.

This is by far the best video game I have ever played, period. Normally I can't stand the fantasy genre or role playing games of any kind but this game is phenomenal. There is so much to do and see in this game, you really are fully immersed in it. I played my first character for about 130 hours before I finished all the missions and wanted to keep playing. The graphics, sound, atmosphere is all awesome. You will feel like you need a secretary to manage all the different quests, but thats not a bad thing. My only complaint is that Nights of the Nine just didn't fit well with the main game, but thats it. I havn't played Shivering Isles. Have a little patience with the beggining and developing the character. Once you step out of the sewers the game truly begins. Even if you think games like World of Warcraft are stupid (which I do) give this game a shot.It really is a lot of fun.

Best RPG of all time

I have played Oblivion on both the PC and XBOX 360, and the 360 version blows the other away.

The controls work effortlessly. Even though it was designed as a computer game first, then released on 360, it seems as though the controls were designed for a game controller. It is much easier and more efficient to play with the 360's controller.

Graphically, the game is amazing. If you have your 360 hooked up to a true HD TV, buy a hat and get ready to hold on to it! It is still one of the best looking games out there. What's more, I have experienced no drops in frame rate at all while playing the game. It always runs quite smoothly, allowing one to stay immersed in the experience. It is possible to play in either first- or third-person view, but I would definitely recommend first-person. Magic is hard to target in third-person view and I didn't get the same feeling of 'being there' as in first-person mode.

Two final things:

1) Downloading extra content is a breeze over XBOX Live. There are a couple of add-ons (one that adds spell tomes to loot in dungeons and elsewhere which teach you spells) that I felt really enhanced the game.

2) The game is now out on the Platinum Hits line for the 360. I believe it was $25 or $30, and it is worth every penny of that, and more.

Three words: Best. Game. Ever.

I've hade the game for close to two years and I must say, this game has some much replay value it's shocking. One of my save files on the game has a total of 144 hours clocked in. The massive numbers of quests to finish, items to find, battles to fight, and the add-on available through Xbox Live will keep gamers occupied for months on end.

One gripe I do have about the game is the slow loading times in between gameplay. Hopefully in the next game, that particular problem is solved.

Hopefully, you enjoy the game as much as I have.

PARTY ON, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oblivion is the best video game I have ever bought for my son age 12-Unless you cheat and use a guide book there are hours and hours of interesting play. My son has played the game for two months and still has more stuff to find--usually he finishes a video game in a couple of days of after school play and I feel we have wasted 60 bucks--But oblivion is worth the money!!

I also don't mind watching him play the game-the more skilled he gets the stronger the monsters are that are sent against him so he has to work harder--there are also consequences for actions in this game- breaking the rules can affect you making it harder to get through the game--also diffrent actions can affect what weapons and tresures you find through out the game -it isn't always the same

Simply amazing

I originally bought this game shortly after it came out and put it down after 3 or 4 hours of play because I got confused when I first got to Oblivion, and felt I was going around in circles up the tower and I wasn't making any progress. Then a little while ago I decided to start over and give it a second chance. Once I started playing it again I realized the best way to describe the game is simply amazing. First off the most impressive thing about the game is the sound. The TV my 360 is attached to has 5.1 surround sound and this game takes full advantage of the 5.1 surround capabilities. You can actually hear enemies as they come up from behind or the sides. The score for the game rivals most epic movie scores...It's a treat just listening to the soundtrack. The graphics are simply fantastic. When I first got my 360 I was very dissapointed because for next gen the graphics looked rather blah, and in some cases (NHL 2k6) I could tell absolutly no difference between the 360 graphics and the regular xbox. It is certainly not the case with this game. Finally the game play and story. This is by far the largest game I've ever played as far as size, complexity of the story, side plots. Everything is simply amazing. There is no one way to play this game and the replay value is simply unrivaled. The deatil that went into this game blows everything else away in the RPG genre...and everything else I've played for the 360. If there is a drawback to this game it's the size of the game, It is so big and so addicting it will consume a lot of hours of your life playing it. If you are the slightest fan of an RPG, or if you want to see what the 360 is fully capable of you need to pick this up.

AMAZING!!!

Ive played gears of war, Call of Duty 3, Kameo, and many other great games but they are nothing to Obivion. Once you start your first character you are immersed into a story of twists and turns with the Emperors assination and the gates to oblivion. Then you get to the amazing amounts of voice acting that present a large sense of realisim, where you actualy seem to connect with the person your are talking to. Lastly the the enviroment, its HUGE, and it's filled with side quests that can keep you entertained for hours. I used to not be a morrowind fan, but this game brought new life to the genre. If you own a 360 get OBLIVION!

Another excellent game for the 360

If you like RPGs, then you are set for a lifetime with this one. Longest RPG I've ever played, and I've loved every minute of it.
