Is Too Much Ever Enough?
Oblivion is EXACTLY how I imagined an RPG should be like back in the 80's, while playing Ultimas on Commodore 64s and Atari STs.Oblivion has weather. While there is no wind other than a constant, gentle breeze, you do get rain/thunderstorms, fog, snow (no blizzards though, because there's not much wind). You don't slip and fall on ice but the sound of your steps is different whether you walk on the road, on grass, on snow or on ice.The world of Cyrodill is not exactly continent-size, maybe some 20-30 miles in any direction from downtown Imperial City but... what a world this is. Cities, settlements, camps, estates, roadside inns, ruins, caves, dungeons, mines, shrines. The landscape is made up of plains, hard-to-climb mountains, rivers, swamps, waterfalls, seas. You can travel on foot or you can ride a horse. You can fight your way into fame and fortune while doing good or you can sneak into other people's houses or pickpocket the unsuspecting. The guards will...

Terrific game for old-school role players
First, let me be up front and say I'm not a video game expert. Rather, I'm a paper-and-dice RPG player since the 1970s, and until Oblivion hadn't touched a video game since Wolfenstein. My wife and I bought our PS3 for its Blu-Ray player and DVD upconvert, not for gaming...that is, that's what we thought. Then we bought Oblivion on a lark, and became gaming addicts. Since we're a middle-aged couple with no kids, that in itself says quite a lot about the game.We started out with me playing and my wife watching and helping with treasure-spotting and puzzle solving. Eventually she was reluctantly persuaded to give the console a try herself. She's now played two characters to high levels and is working on her third new character.While not a video game expert, I do happen to be a computer engineer by trade, so I can talk a bit about the technical aspects of the game mechanics.Enough background...Here are the pluses and minuses I've observed, again based...

The love-hate relationship continues...
I've always wanted to just dive into the PC RPG experience, but every time I have (usually with the "Ultima" series, but there have been a few others), I've left with a lukewarm feeling. I had hoped that "Oblivion" would finally be the game that got me over the hump. But alas, while "Elder Scrolls IV" is a very fun and engrossing game, it still suffers from many of the pitfalls of its PC predecessors, and also has one more wrinkle to boot. But let's begin with:The Good:Story: Non-existent. Now, why is that good? Because the player isn't forced to follow some silly linear quest for the duration of the game. Yes, "Oblivion" has a sort of main focus, but it really can be pushed to the sidelines, sue to the incredible amount of other things to do. I mean, seriously, one can1) Join a Mage's/Fighter's/Thief's/Assassin's guild2) Run around as a hero-for-hire3) Attempt to make money to buy houses and the like4) Hunt in one of the uncountably infinite...

If you don't already own Oblivion, buy this
This game is the chief selling point for the XBOX 360, and now it's available with the two major expansions included.If you already own Oblivion (and especially if you've already bought Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles from XBOX Live), DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. You will be filled with the righteous fanboy rage you see in the one star reviews below.But if you're new to the 360, this game is a must have. Even the training mode/introduction is amazing, with Patrick Stewart as the voice of the dying King who sends you on your quest.Highlights of the game and expansions:OBLIVION:+The quest story lines are well written, and the tone of guild and side quests varies and makes for a lot of fun (especially Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds)+Great voice acting from the likes of Sean Bean (Boromir), Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), and Terence Stamp (General Zod/Jorel).+A more engaging combat system than turn based RPGS, and...

Great release for non-broadband owners or newcomers to Oblivion
These statements are in response to previous qustions and reviews.This pack was designed for people that can not or do not have broadband service and wanted these two huge add ons for Oblivion. there ARE only the two included here yes. two others were available for FREE from Official Xbox Magazine in early 2007.

Great for offline players
I've had Oblivion scince I first got my 360 and loved every minute of it, but I felt left out when the expansions started coming out on Xbox live. I don't have the cables necessary to support XBL at my house so when I saw that Oblivion GOTY edition had hit the shelves, I grabbed it up. I know that at least one other reveiver gave the game a 1 star for its $60 price tag, but keep in mind, Oblivion just went down to $30 while Knights of the Nine is still sitting at about $10 to download, and Shivering Isles is at $24. Total, thats $64 before tax. If you don't have Oblivion yet, or are about to pick it up because you just got a 360, GET THIS VERSION. It has the 2 big expansions, plus an update patch that fixes some of the bugs in the game (like the item multiplication arrow trick). You will still have to go online to get the small stuff like wizard's tower or Vile lair, but they cast about 2 or 3 dollars in MS points. Its a good deal for Oblivion first timers, or anyone without...

WARNING: This is NOT the Game of the Year Edition
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.

Review on Oblivion, Include Pros and Cons
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.

My favorite of the Elder Scroll series thus far.
I didn't start the Elder Scrolls series with Oblivion, I started with Morrowind, bud I didn't really enjoy that game much. I cant really describe why either, I tried playing that game for hours and the interest just didn't stay with me. Fast forward a few years later when Oblivion came out, I wasn't eager to play, I expected a graphical update, but otherwise more of the same. I remember a turning point being that people complained it wasn't enough like Morrowind which ironically actually made me eager to play this lol. Needless to say I ended up playing and liking this one much more then its predecessor.I like games that are linear and I like ones that aren't linear. Bethesda's games usually opt for the more exploratory model of gaming and it works for them. People complained that this aspect was nerfed by the fact that you can fast travel and that icons showed places of interest in the distance on the map. I don't feel that way at all. You weren't forced to fast travel...

Both Exciting and Disappointing at the same time
This game has a lot to recommend it, but at the same time is troubling is several ways, most notably, figuring out how to play it.Pros:Long. If you like long, then there is lots here for you.Continues the saga. If you are a fan of the series then this is more of what you know and want.** Spell Creation. Maybe the most exciting thing for me in this game is the ability to create spells. Though not without its flaws (how do you delete a spell from your inventory if you don't want it anymore?), creation of spells is for me where this game really has the potential to shine. If you are creative and understand the game's mechanics, you can do great stuff. There is even a web page of "Useful Spells" where other players have given examples that show things like: how to get your horse to walk on water, and how to travel twice as fast, and jump twice as high, and how to create combos that destroy whole rooms of creatures.

A great game, and IMO, an improvement on Morrowind
Now, there are a lot of reviews out there already for this game. I'm just going to say that I'm really enjoying Oblivion after many hours into it (and one quick playthrough).The good :The plot - it takes you in from the start. I played Morrowind (the third game in the series) at least three times, and quit each time because the plot was... boring or non-existant. To this day, I still can't remember what Morrowind was about, and I got pretty far into it. Some may think the plot in Oblivion is overused (there are parallels to Arcanum and Doom), but I like those parallels. It takes you in and puts you are the center of the world, so to speak. Definitely has some distant Roman-empire influence in the location and characters centralized in the imperial capital (and dealings with the empire and council - being vague to avoid spoilers). But it's safe to say you'll meet a lot of people with names that end in -ius, -ia and -um, often in Roman triplicate. So yea, if...

Five Years In, Still As Good
The next installment in the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim, is due to be released in the Fall of 2011. That being said, it's no reason not to buy this title if you haven't already done so. Oblivion is fairly straightforward as a premise, with hellish creatures invading the world as your main quest. What makes this game amazing, however, is that you get to pick from so many races, types/styles of combat, and side quests along with the main quest. Each fighting style has its own advantages/disadvantages, as does every race, and the game itself will take hours to complete, especially with the various sidequests and the addition of the Shivering Isles/Nine expansion. The scenery is amazing, and the realm is expansive. I've played through the game with many different characters, and it never gets old, for me. Best of all, as this is single-player, you don't have to play a monthly fee as with WoW. Following, I've attempted to list the various main sidequests and races of the game:...

This game is amazing.This anniversary pack comes with an actual physical map of the main world and Shivering Isles and a general instruction booklet. But more importantly the game comes with the Shivering Isles and the Knights of the Nine expansion packs. If you consider the price of the original game and then buying those 2 expansions separately, you'll see that buying this 5th anniversary edition which includes those 2 expansions is a much better deal.Installing the expansions is really easy.

Outstanding, well deserved GOTY categorization
Oblivion most certainly lives up to its reputation as a Game of the Year for 2006/2007.The interface is very easy to manipulate. The combat system is intuitive, and I found the regeneration of fatigue and magicka/mana to be quite unique to the RPG environment. I often found myself lugging around potions for regenerating mana and hitpoints in other games. This is not the case with Oblivion! My dark elf character regenerated fatique and magicka, while it was extremely easy to cast spells that restored health.The game crashed to desktop only a handful of times out of the dozen or so days I spent playing, so I'd say it was above average in terms of reliability. The game runs smoothly at 800x600 with a P4 3.0 GHz CPU and an ATI Radeon X1950 GT 256MB AGP video card.The most noteworthy aspect of this game is the sheer number of quests and the "sandbox" aspect of exploration and character development.

The Future of CRPG (computer role-playing game)
What can I possibly say about this revolutionary computer RPG that hasn't been said?To me this is arguably the best computer game in the history of video game, period.'Oblivion' is a non-linear, free-form, 1st-person RPG, colored with beautiful next generation graphic that enhances the immersive gameplay set in the gigantic gameworld, where you can do anything anywhere anytime you feel like it.There are over 20 cities and settlements, 300 quests, 300 dungeons, caves, ruins, tunnels, and whatnots available in the game (combining 'Knights of the Nine', official DLCs, and 'Shivering Isles').Then there is TES Construction Set.

Oblivion, Fun but Dumbed Down To Appeal to More Relative to Series
Trying to be as objective as possible so let me explain why I'm giving this a 4/5 star rating even though I liked it a lot.First, the game has a lot of 'improvements' which seem like they were put in place because they would make the game more appealing to the masses. These include things like the idea of fast travel (I wish I could do this to work every morning), the auto leveling of the enemies, and so on. I'll explain more on those subjects further on. Generally though these 'improvements' break the atmosphere of the game some and, while you can ignore the fast travel, don't seem realistic. Your character just ran into what could be the equivalent of hell for the Elder Scrolls world, he came outside and suddenly every single mercenary is wearing glass armor (really nice stuff) and using top of the line swords? Oblivion gates opening must have really boosted the economy.The visuals are beautiful though and the voice acting really gets you engaged in the...
