The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PS3 Reviews

A handful of new reviews for the PS3 version of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have reached the web. The first is at Yahoo! Games with an overall score of 4.5/5:

…the fact of the matter is that you’re still getting a tremendous game that finally gives Playstation 3 owners something they deserve: a great game that makes the most of a next-generation console system.

The second is at Extreme Gamer with an overall score of 9.5/10:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is an epic game that deserves all the praise it has received since its release last year. The PS3 version is just as grand and impressive as the previous versions, if not slightly better in the graphics department. Sure, the PS3 gets ambushed from the shadows on the downloadable content, but its recovering and still has a lot of fight left. Oblivion is an easy (must have) for all PS3 owners, this is omega of role-playing games that likely won’t be surpassed until the Elder Scrolls V.

The third is at Project COE with an overall score of 9.5/10:

The Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion is the type of game that comes out once every five or six years. The amount of time and effort put into this game is so telling of the developer who made it. Bethesda has won every last award possible for their amazing game and today they receive another award, they become the very first developer to win COE’s first Elite medal for a PlayStation 3 game. If there’s any PS3 title out there that deserves this honor, it’s this game. We can only hope that Shivering Isles gets released alongside every other piece of downloadable content. The PlayStation 3 fans out there surely don’t want to be left out in the cold after such an incredible experience. If you have never played an RPG before or are a long-time RPG veteran, you owe it to yourself to pick up this legendary RPG.

And the fourth is at Video Game Generation with an overall score of 9.5/10:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is exactly the kind of game the PS3 needs. Not only is it a long, beefy RPG to get PS3 owners (and Sony fans used to long RPGs) through the lean summer months, but it’s also the first multi-platform title to me that truly suggests the PS3’s hardware is superior in the console world.
