The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review

The folks at Just Adventure have whipped up a review of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, giving the game an overall score of “A”:

My hope for Elder Scrolls V (the sales of Oblivion pretty much guarantee it’ll happen) is that it returns to the strangeness and vastness of Morrowind with the Fast Travel feature, livelier NPCs, better interface and tightened quest structure of Oblivion.

But don’t get me wrong. These complaints are minor in the face of Oblivion’s spectacular virtues. My hats are off to Bethesda and 2K games for taking what they’ve learned in previous iterations of this sturdy series and moving the franchise forward in a huge way. Oblivion is a blast to play, and it’s a considerable achievement in the annals of electronic role-playing games.
