oblivion is bigger, has more things to do but mass effects story is better and its just flat out more fun. thats just my opinion though. if you like wow get oblvion, if you like shooters/action get mass effect. they really are different. im almost done w/ my second me playthrough, ive only played 13-14 hours of oblivion (still trying to get into it.)

Having both I would have to agree with nahmean187. I found Mass Effect more entertaining (hard to put down, excited to complete the next mission or see the next development) whereas Oblivion had/has the longevity for hours upon hours of play but has more of a single player Everquest type appeal - albeit easier to put down for awhile.

i was one of the ones who did not find oblivion too much fun. Mass Effect is completely differnet. its in the furture, you bond with the characters so much more, it may not be as long as oblivion, but there is so much to do, and it has some replay value. Mass Effect FTW

Mass effect if you're looking for a game that's pretty long. Oblivion if you want it to last you a few years. It's so much fun! Tons of quest. It never ends basically.

I have played both and I say ME. Much more fun, Oblivion is huge and has a lot of ways to do different things, but in the end games are about fun, and ME is one of the most fun games to come along in a while.

Mass Effect is the most immersive game. You should def get that instead of Oblivion.

I really love both, but I do lean towards Oblivion, just so many weird things happen in that game.

I have nearly 70 hours in Oblivion and I think I'm only half done with the quests. But I must tell my story, so here we go, I was running around in the wilderness, just searching for ruins and what not. It was storming and an unusually dark night, when suddenly I come upon an unconscious Countess ( I forget her name) in the middle of nowhere! I can't seem to help her or wake her so I move on, Then a paint horse runs me over, wasn't expecting that, as it go's by, I see a bear chasing it, then a few seconds later 3 Minotaurs are following the bear, lastly, a white unicorn flys past me, following the Minotaurs.

To top it off, two Imperial Legion guards run past me shooting arrows at one another, screaming, I will kill you, dirty thief! LMAO.

It was a crazy night.
