The second is at Club Skill with an overall score of 9.6/10:

It’s refreshing. As an RPG Fan, I love all RPGs, but I never expected this. This game has opened my eyes; it’s a whole new experience, with open ended “do what you like” sandbox gameplay I’ve never seen in an RPG before. It’s like Shenmue, but you can steal a horse. Or anything else for that matter. You can slaughter innocents ala Knights of the Old Republic, but this game has consequences.

The third is at RewiredMind with an overall score of 9/10:

Go ahead, look up the word ‘Epic’ in a dictionary; you should come across the following entry – ‘Surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size’. This simple explanation describes The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion perfectly. Oblivion appeals to hardcore RPG experts and casual gamers alike as it’s just simply so very accessible, whatever your gaming background. Go out right now and buy it, you owe it to yourself as a gamer.

The fourth is at VG Core with an overall score of 9.4/10:

Overall, this is one heck of a game and a great addition to the Xbox 360 library. Finally, Xbox 360 owners have a title to point to when someone says they have no good RPGs. Oblivion is one of the best RPGs crafted and it seems only fitting that it finds its way onto the Xbox 360. Don’t think about buying this game, get it.

The fifth is at Boomtown with a perfect score of 10/10 for the PC version:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is less a videogame and more a life in and of itself. The longer I’m away from it the more I come to appreciate it. Few games have that effect on us and those that do are one thing above all else: unique. Oblivion is every bit a unique experience. It’s the best 360 game so far, one of the best PC games in existence and arguably one of the best RPGs ever made.

And the sixth is at 3D Gamers with an overall score of 95%:

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is an astoundingly deep role-playing game that addresses Morrowind’s deficiencies in spectacularly ambitious ways. Some may recall Bethesda’s release of a buggy Daggerfall and somewhat less buggy Morrowind launch, but Oblivion is well-polished title considering its sheer size and complexity. With over 200 hours of gameplay, tons of content and things to do, Oblivion is a sure runner up for this year’s Game of the Year.
