The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review

ToTheGame is offering up their own review of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, giving Bethesda’s massive RPG an overall score of 9/10. Here’s why:

In summary, it is difficult to describe exactly how the experience of playing Oblivion is. Contrary to most other games released nowadays, there’s very little linearity. You are free to roam and do whatever you please, including leaving a host of dead guards/inhabitants/random monsters in your wake as you run by. You can also be a good guy and do good deeds, which earn you the privilege to not be hunted by, well, everyone. The replay value of the game is also quite large, especially if you decide to role play a little. An example of this is that you don’t join the mages guild with your orc warrior behemoth as fighters don’t bother with that magic crap, and vice versa. Doing it like this will make sure that you will be entertained with new quests for a long time to come.

In short, Bethesda has a new hit on their hands.
