The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Reviews

Another small batch of reviews for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion surfaced on the web over the past couple of days. The first is at PALGN with an overall score of 9.0/10:

On the whole Oblivion is excellent. Really excellent, actually, and arguably the strongest contender for game of the year yet. It’s possibly the most accessible RPG ever made, with a limitless scope for character creation and the fantastic ‘˜do what you want, when you want’ gameplay. It’s also really freakin’ huge, with a massive world to explore, a great central plotline and an endless number of side quests to conquer it’s completely pointless to try and put an hourly figure on it. The flaws frame rate issues, loading times, a somewhat empty world and a subjective world leveling system are really miniscule in comparison to the magnificent journey the game offers. Everyone with an Xbox 360 or capable PC should already own a copy of this most excellent game if you don’t, ring up work and ask for a month off, then rush down to your closest store and grab it right now. Oblivion it’s here, it’s brilliant, and it will take over your life.

The second is at MagWerk with an overall score of 95%:

In conclusion I would recommend this game to RPG fans and casual players alike. Oblivion is such a detailed and vast world I think pretty much everyone can find something to enjoy. I can not recommend this game enough. This is an experience that nobody should miss.

The third is at G4 with a perfect score of 5/5:

For those used to linear, Japanese-style role-playing games, Oblivion will seem like a revelation. All the games in this series have been known for their sheer vastness and freedom of choice, but the Elder Scrolls IV takes that concept and runs with it. This is a huge, gorgeous, and playable adventure that is sure to cause players to happily lose track of hours, days, and possibly weeks or months.

The fourth is at PixelFX with an overall score of 9.8/10:

All in all the game is solid. One of the best single player RPG’s of its time. The replay value of the title is great and continued playability with mod’s or expansions is indefinite. With only a few minor set backs that were listed, the positive seriously out weigh the negative aspects in a 10 to 1 ratio; hands down. If you’re looking for an immersive epic style RPG to add to your collection, look no further. Oblivion has raised and redefined the bar once again.

And the fifth is at Gamenikki with an overall score of 9/10:

Oblivion is a great game. It has its problems, some which are much bigger than others, but to expect a game of this size and scope to be perfect is unrealistic. Overall, Oblivion is a truly wonderful and immersive experience, and it is one that every Xbox360 owner should experience.
