THE GOOD: - Open Ended Gameplay - Variety of Weapons/Armours etc - Graphics, very detailed - Variety of Quests - Easily Rack up 80 hours of gameplay - Exciting Guilds to join - Extras such as the Arena
THE BAD: - Main Quest too short - Repetitive - Glitches occur, crashes occasionally - Endless Dungeons
SUMMARY: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Is, for fact, a necessary purchase for any RPG fan, anybody who enjoys crafting and sculpting their own character in a highly reactive world will adore this game, the vast array of weapons and armour to find, and of course, the Deadra. If you liked Morrowind, then you will like Oblivion, but for the people who disliked Morrowind or never had the chance to play it, this is the base of the Game. You create your character, and pick one from a nice variety of races including the Reptilian Argonians or Feline Khajits. Soon after you are given the oppurtuity to...
Tons of different weapons/armor combinations available
The ability to make your own spells
The ability to enchant your own weapons and armor
Awesome combat
Tons of different skills to use
Lots of ways to play your character
THE BAD:
May seem a bit overwhelming at times
Freezes now and then, due to it's size
SUMMARY: Where should I start with Oblivion? Oblivion takes place in Tamriel, a Continent on Cyrodiil. A Daedric-worshiping cult has just murdered the Emporer, and have begun opening Oblivion Gates all around the Continent. It's primarily up to you to venture into these Planes of Oblivion, and shut them once and for all.
But no, that's not all there is to do. In addition to just the Main Quest, you can also join several other Factions,...
THE GOOD: The Depth of the world. The Open-endedness of the game The Graphics The Storylines' depth, and realism
THE BAD: The levelling system The Main quest's lack of length The repetetivity of the dungeons.
SUMMARY: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had to be a great game to follow up from it's prequel, Morrowind. And It is.. The graphic detail is sublime, and the map is crafted beautifully. Every inch of Cyrodiil has clearly had a lot of thought go into it, and that's what makes a great game truly an epic. Details.. There are details aplenty in Cyrodiil, the world the game is set in, and the effort Bethesda put into this game has clearly paid off in the final product. Detail, Graphics, Gameplay and the music are all spot on, and create a great game..
The best parts of this game are firstly, the fact that there is no limit to what you may do. If you wish, you needn't ever do a single quest, and you'll still...
Oblivion is the award-winning role-playing game (RPG) for the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 (this review is for the Xbox 360 only). It features some of the best gameplay, graphics, audio, and controls of any game for the 360, and quite possibly any game ever. With more than 100 hours worth of playing, along with the 50+ hours worth of extra downloads and content, this is a game that no Xbox 360 owner should pass up.
The gameplay in this game is one of the best of any RPG out on any console. It also one of the largest RPGs out on any console. There is a main quest, and there are also five guilds, which feature several quests, ranging from stealing one of the Elder Scrolls to assassinating a retired Imperial Captain to killing the most powerful necromancer ever born. Add in more than 100 extra side-quests and you have more than 200 hours worth of gameplay.
The game world itself is huge. There is the Imperial City, which is divided into several sections, and there also...
THE GOOD: -Open-ended Gameplay
-Graphics
-Hundreds of Quests
-Monsters level with you
-Good combat system
-Good Magic System
-Ability to do quests, join guilds, save the world or just explore
-Bethesda keep making small expansions
-Customisable race, appearance and skills
THE BAD: -Several Glitches
-Prone to crashes sometimes
SUMMARY: The Elder Scrolls IV: Obliivon is quite frankly the most amazing, open-ended RPG you could ever hope to play.
Players of the prequel Morrowind will know exactly how open-ended the game is, and Bethesda have made several changes since Morrowind.
Combat has been vastly improved in that you can manually block, and you can cast spells while still attacking with your sword/bow.
Voice actors are really good, and Morrowinders will recognise a few voices that have been kept the same, along with some new ones. Patrick Stewart (Star Trek, Xmen) lends his voice as Uriel Septim, emperor of Tamriel. Sean Bean...
SUMMARY: On to the review. Today I'll be explaining why Oblivion deserves it's title so much, as well as describing it's flaws. One reason that makes this an award winning game is the sheer size of it all. You can literally spend fifty or more hours doing miscellaneous tasks that have nothing to do with the main storyline, and still have more to do. The scenery is lush and beautiful, keeping your eyes on the game as your travel from city to city, and dungeon to dungeon. Humanoid NPC's look life like and realistic, with their own emotions...
THE GOOD: -Massive game world -Improves on morrowind -sweet graphics -Good combat system -Brilliant guild storylines
THE BAD: -Level up system lacking
SUMMARY: The elder scrolls VI is an epic RPG sequel to Bethesda soft works award winning Morrowind. The story is fairly simple, you start of in prison, but you are later released and have to do all sorts of things involving the heir to the throne. It takes place from a 1st person perspective, this makes it great for shooting bows accurately, although its annoying you can't see your character that you created with such painstaking detail. At first the game is very basic, you have a healing spell and a short blade, and hack down basic enemies, but later on the gameplay is much more difficult and interesting. You level up slightly differently from other rpgs. Instead of the normal "500 exp to next level" you grow levels in classes, for instance after fighting lots with a...
SUMMARY: Oblivion is, without a doubt, the most immersive, colossal game I've ever played. Is bigger always better though? In this case, yes. Following in the footsteps of past Elder Scrolls games, you begin with the infamous prison scene. After a short period of building your character and getting a start on the story, you are dropped off in the middle of the world with anything and everything to do.
The best part of this game is that you aren't forced to do anything. You can play as a noble paladin by day, notorious thief by night. Of course, there is an exceptional main story...
Beautifully detailed and highly-interactive graphics.
Clear sounds, and very cool ambient noises and music.
Miles and miles of game terrain to traverse, including major cities.
Plots and sub-plots coming out of your EARS.
It's entirely offline, so if (like me) you don't "do" online games, it's for you.
THE BAD:
It's entirely offline, so if you do "do" online games, you might find the lack of interaction with other human players to be a bit offputting.
Once you have completed everything (no matter how long it takes you), there are no really cool re-spawning quests (I don't want to spoil it, but the ones that ARE re-spawners aren't all that amazing), so the longevity hits a bit of a brick wall at that stage.
THE GOOD: Graphics Controls Quests Huge World Spell Creation
THE BAD: Oblivion Gates Voice Acting Falls short of Morrowind over all Repetitive combat
SUMMARY: Oblivion has long been touted as the best Xbox 360 rpg and it deserves that. Even in this somewhat empty market Oblivion has gone above and beyond to craft a unique and memorable experience. However it has also been called by some the best RPG ever. Does it deserve this title?
In a word no. Oblivion is not the best role playing game ever made. It is however one hell of a game and I reccomend it to anybody who owns a 360. Enough blabbering though lets get on to the review.
You start out in a prison cell, in jail for a crime we never learn the nature of. The emperor is being hunted by assassins. His escape route happens to go through that very cell, so it's your lucky day. After witnessing his death your out to do... well whatever...
