I dont understand the score either. its essentially the same, same technical problems, but it was a different guy, so maybe he caught something or didnt like somehting about the sound that greg kasavin overlooked or soemthin.

If you think about it, the score is reasonable even by a .1 difference cause this game came out a year earlier, Im happy at least the we can officially say that the PS3 has its first AAA title on GS finally..

Or he didnt like the PS3 version or maybe he had a legititmate reason to take away from the sound, have you played the game? just curious.
Its funny how they talk good about the voice acting and then they take away 1 point from the sound. This game diserve the same score the 360 had or even better for all of the improvments.
Typically I don't make an issue over minor ratings differences between systems, especially when that difference is a measly .1, but for this particular title I feel that I must. Reading through the entire review it seems that his one major issue with the PS3 version is that it currently does not have access to the downloadable content. Since when are games reviewed on optional extra cost content? Although he mentions that the game does come with Knights of the Nine packed in, he doesn't mention that this content was essentially free and costs money for both the 360 and the PC. I am glad to see the game was given a high score but I am very disappointed to not see it as the highest rated of the three for what it offers straight out of purchase. Games are not rated on what future content may become available.

Or he didnt like the PS3 version or it could quite possibly be the fact that the ps3 version does not have access to certain content, such as every single old download(excluding NotN) and even the upcoming shivering isles.
When Wolfenstein 3d first came out it got many 10/10 scores. If it came out today people would laugh.
 Expectations change over time and we constantly expect a higher quality of title. Oblivion was lucky not to get a much lower score one year on. Stop whinging.
I am a PS3 owner, and I only own a PS3 no other system impresses me other then the PS3. But, this is crazy why do the PS3 users complain so much? It's annoying and repetitive. I can see Oblivion scoring higher on the PS3, then the Xbox360 if it came out at the same time as the 360 version. But, since it is a port it gets docked a point. Who cares? Still a good game.

Eh, it effects the value of the game, and it's lasting appeal and its replay value, etc. If a game has access to DLC, it's going to affect the value scores, and lasting appeal, which will go into the tilt. This version is going to miss out on a whole expansion, and they haven't announced any plans on bringing this content to the ps3, so when you think about it, those factors do come into play with a review.
Or perhaps when he reviewed it, his intentions were to score it as he saw fit not compare it with the 360's review and make sure he tallied points accordingly. Honestly, get a life...a 9.5 is a very good score especially coming from MS...err GS.
GS giving it a 9.5 is extremely impressive. To only go from a 9.6 to a 9.5 after one year is very good. Saruman1719

I agree, the game has held up well for being previously released on two other formats a year ago. I am surprised it did not get a lower score simply because of that, even with the game being updated with certain things; graphics , loading, draw distance, and the such.

The PS3 version has supposedly better graphics, faster loading times, better draw distance and less choppiness. Yet 360 got a 10 in sound and PS3 got a 9... Why?
i was personally shocked that GS actually rated oblivion higher than a 7... because that is just how they are... I can understand if they wanted to give an obviously superior version the same score but lower even by .1 point is unexcusable. This kinda reminds me of GS and resistance.. i understand that resistance wasnt perfect but dang it deserved better than a 8.6.
Â
TRUTHFULLY WITH GAMESPOTS RECORD I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEY DIDNT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BETTER TEXTURE OR INCREASE FRAMERATE BECUASE OF COURSE THIS CHANGE "MARS" THE ORIGINAL EXPIRENCE... BECAUSE OF GAMESPOT MASSIVE ANTI-SONY CAMPAIGN I ONLY COME BACK TO GS TO COMPLAIN ON THE FORUMS
Â
Update:Â Actually I could understand if they gave the graphics a 9 becasue expections graphically have changed massively over the year, but sound doesnt really change so getting a 9 in sound just sounds kinda fishy like they were trying to pick a category that is hard to dispute.Â
Having played this game last year for the Xbox 360 I can honestly tell you if you haven't already, you must pick this game up. You won't be disappointed. Unless you really really hate RPG's anyway.. and if you do shame on you! LOL...
blah blah blah blah blah. 9.5 is fine. that is a "supurb" score! so the 360 got 1. more! my god you guys all you want is a inch just a inch so you can rub it in the nooses of the 360 fanboys! i think you all need to just relax and be happy you have some great games to play.
I'm confused... does the PS3 version have any new content I can't get on the 360? ModernTimes
It comes with the Knights of the Nine mini-expansion, which is available as a $10 download for 360 owners, but other than that I don't think there's any new content. It's pretty much the same Oblivion you played last year except with better graphics, faster load times, bug fixes, etc.
