...maps and varying game play. The character is thrown straight in at the deep end with this one landing his/her self straight in prison fighting within the first 3 minutes of the game. This is one of those games when the player gets a real say of what is going on. This is due to the character being allowed to do what they want and go where they like. Some RPG games limit the character with movement and map size not this one.

Advantages: Addictive, hours of diaolog, great gameplay Disadvantages: you'll loose a lot of hours that you won't get back.
...life to this game. Oblivion, the forth game in the Elder Scrolls series is a 3rd or 1st person (changeable at the touch of a button) role playing game that see's you take forth your user created character on dozens of quests ranging from the likes of hunting bears to closing the gates of Oblivion.
You start of by choosing a race for your character. This can be anything from an Ork to an Elf or simply Human. You then pick yourself a character class ...

Advantages: A huge world to explore with millions of combinations of weapons and armour. Disadvantages: Boring and extremely difficult battles and full of glitches.
...I was so disappointed when the fighting began. Fighting with a bow and arrow is passable but you can barely do any damage, and the sword fighting is mundane and as unsatisfying as can be. To be honest, after hours of leveling up so you can go round destroying little imps, you find your self expecting to feel satisfied, and a sense of accomplishment. You just won't find either of those in Oblivion, at least not easily.
This does not mean the game ...

Stunning Review ofThe Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion (PS3)by
Infinityplus
Advantages: Cutting edge graphics, solid gameplay, great longevity Disadvantages: glitches but extremely rare, no variable ending
...oblivion on my PC and the amazing graphics was a breakthrough for RPG gamers at the time. Due to the fact my computer does not have the required specs to play oblivion to its full potential, I actually went out and bought oblivion on PS3 again (having played most of the initial story line). Acutally, oblivion was my first PS3 game and the one which makes me to fork out and buy PS3 at its costly price when it was released.
Playing oblivion on Ps3 ...

Advantages: Excellent Graphics, Massive Map, Extensive Gameplay Disadvantages: Some graphical glitches, time consuming.
After reading a three of the reviews on this game, I can definitely echo the sentiments of other gamers in that this game is incrediby huge, allowing you to become fully immersed in the game and create a character so it becomes your own.
You start by creating your character to completely the way that you want and following that, the game is yours to completely take by the hand and create what you want out of it.
I personally believe that to get ...

A true masterpiece Review ofThe Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion (PS3)by

Advantages: long, many hours of gameplay, many different skills to use Disadvantages: GOTY littered with bugs, can take over your life!
...with giant swords.
The attraction to the game is deffinately its length and variety of missions. The main quest is not the longest but there are hundreds of other missions in guilds etc.. aswell as missions that you can stumble accross by accident by talking to people.
The levelled enemies mean that it is never too hard and the ability to finely tune the difficulty is useful. You will never run out of things to do on this game and it is a must ...

Advantages: Long gameplay time, very good fun toplay, epic area to play in Disadvantages: no online mode, occasional glitches
This must be the best RPG I've played, it has stunning graphics, a great storyline, a variety of weapons and best of all - it’s a massive game!
The main quest takes a long time to complete, and there are plenty of side quests to complete, you can shape your own character to how you want and can learn plenty of skills. The game can take a while to get used to the controls but soon it becomes quite easy so you'll have no problem playing after ...

Advantages: Long playtime. Stunning graphics. Best of all the oblivions to date Disadvantages: one year old game. Quite buggy. no exclusive ps3 content
...this game.
Already out for both the 360 and the PC, it finaly makes an apperance on Sonys big black monster.
Was it worth the bother? well yes and no.
Oblivion is one of the most impressive games of the last few years, graphicaly its stunning, from the crisp green grass to the massive towns that are busting with life.
Gameplay wise its no slouch either, with 40+ hours to finish the main game and double that for all the side quests its well worth ...

Advantages: Longevity, visuals, gameplay. Disadvantages: Learning the controlls and menu options.
...I cant put it down. The game is massive and there is nothing you cant do from free roaming to carrying out the quests you can be set by others you meet. Visually the game is amazing and once connected up to surround sound it becomes a very atmospheric experience. The only very small problem I would mention is you need to master the controlls and menus to fully enjoy the game which can take a liitle time, something I am sure all RBG games require. ...
