Oblivion review

Superb

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is simply one of the best role-playing games ever made.
The Good: Huge, lavishly detailed world offers tremendous amount of action and adventure; main mechanics like combat, stealth, and magic are fun and well designed; impressive artificial intelligence and hundreds of believable characters; outstanding symphonic score, as well as excellent voice acting and sound effects; tremendous replay value, plus gorgeous graphics to make it easy on the eyes.
The Bad: Frequent though fairly brief loading times; you might run into some technical issues with performance.



This is a rare and remarkable achievement--a huge, open-ended, complex, detailed role-playing game that's fun to play and a pleasure to behold. Oblivion not only delivers everything that earned the Elder Scrolls series the devoted loyalty of a huge following of fans, but also significantly improves on the weaknesses of its 2002 predecessor, Morrowind. Morrowind earned recognition for being one of the best role-playing games in years, but the immersive and long-lasting experience it provided wasn't for everyone. Oblivion is hands-down better, so much so that even those who'd normally have no interest in a role-playing game should find it hard to resist getting swept up in this big, beautiful, meticulously crafted world.

Re: Oblivion review

Oblivion is great, although reading a different review I heard that some of the voice acting is repetitive?

Re: Oblivion review

Well that is generally the case for most RPG games, but it is not to bad in Oblivion it defiantly does not take away from the game play.
