It's a hardcore RPG game. If you're into that they it's definably a game to buy. If you're looking for epic Gears of War type action, it may not be for you.. but still worth a look at.

If your gonna get it get the GOTY Edition, it has an extra 20+ hours. I finished the game and got all the achievements in 70 hours, but for most it takes 100+ hours to finish.

lol. i can see where people might like it, but i just couldnt get into it. the story is hard to get into, the levels are TOO big, inventory isnt that great. the only cool thing was the combat. but even that wasnt amazing.

you see that means it's not for you it goes for story, it's not sword fight after sword fight after sword fight, because its an RPG not a MEDIEVIL ACTION game

Its really good. There is a ton of stuff to do. There are a lot of quests. If u get it, get the shivering isles expansion too. That will add a lot of more content.

hell yes its good. the leveling system is wierd but thats the only flaw. magic, items, story, plot, are all amazing. it's brillitant. the combat is great, too. i got bored of it after 162 quests. thats right, 162 QUESTS. the enemies and characters are realistic and the grafics are good. buy it.

It definitely depends on what kind of gamer you are. I hated it, even though I tried several times to get into it cause my friend said he loved it.

I have a love/hate relationship with it. It was amazing at first, but it was really hard to get into it... I didn't get into it at first but, then I played it again a couple months later and I did. I played it for like a solid month until it got boring and now its just sitting there collecting dust...

Oblivion is a good game, but it is so much better on the PC where you can get mods to improve the leveling and combat systems.

I personally loved the game and played it seemingly nonstop for about 100+ hours. then after i completed just about every quest in the game, including all expansions, most DLC, and all the deadric quests, it got boring and now i rarely ever play it now.

Obliviom is by FAR the best game i have ever played on the 360. Definetly try to get Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles once you beat the main story.

Go for it, buy the Game of the Year edition so you get the expansions and extra 250G. It's the best time killer you can get.

its basically your run of the mill RPG done exceptionally well, combat, NPCs, items are alright, environments, missions, the only thing i would say is lacking is the magic. but the game can keep u happy and busy for over 100 hours

It`s a really loooooooooong slow game, with dated graphics. Go for quality over quantity and step up to to Mass Effect. It has a much better story and graphics engine, not to mention being much faster paced. P.S. Mass Effect is the "best game on the 360" and IMO the best RPG since FF7.

Buy it!

For the price your paying for it there is so much game time that it will keep you entertained for hours.

Definately worth the money!

Yeah Oblivion is good. It's the first Elder Scrolls game made for the casual gamer.Trickshot771

You mean second after Morrowind.

Speaking of which, to the OP. If you played and like ES3: Morrowind, then dont touch this game. You will be horribly bored since Oblivion is a watered down clone of Morrowind. If in fact you havnt played Morrowind, then yes you will probably really enjoy this game.

Morrow Wind was a great game the only prob was you had to travel to every place which took a lot of time.

It's a good game - my first RPG ever played. My only suggestion is not to play when tired... it will put you to sleep. Thank god for save files where we can start from a prior checkpoint for lack of a better term.

I am actually looking for a good RPG......I think the last one I played extensively was Diablo 2. So, how is oblivion similar/different than diablo 2? Some help would be awesome!

How is it a watered down close? Obviously it's gonna follow the same general system, but their is nothing watered down about it.

This is what I posted in response to a Mass EFfect game.

"It's an rpg with some of the worst shooting mechanics I've ever seen. The guns do not look or feel futuristic, they feel innacurate and weak, mainly due to the fact that while the braindead enemy is charging you with no inclanation to use the randomly poorly placed cover on the games levels, you're unloading your gun almost to the point of overheating, and they are still coming at you.

Normally that wouldn't be an issue because your teamates would help, but alas, the A.I on both sides is dumb as a rock. Your allies won't last two seconds. And did I mention the HORRIBLY designed levels? Which clearly lacked any work as far as cover placement? Guns don't have headshots, enemies don't even reach to shots, a shot to the chest hurts them, but they don't reach to it.

But that's just the horrible combat, I'm gonna take it further. The graphics. The only thing this game has going for it graphically are the Characters FACIAL animations. Aside from that, the world is amazingly empty and bland. The Citadel, kind of the central hub of every species in the game, is surpringly empty. Supposedly it holds what, millions? Billions on that space ship alone? Yet for some reason all you ever get to see are a couple npc's who can't be interacted with. Very few of the people in the game can actually be spoken to.

And yes, the game is filled with different planets. However only about 1/5 of them can be landed on, and every, single, one of them that can be landed on, is the exact same empty, barren wasteland with absolutely nothing of interest aside from little X's on the map that provide useless resources required to complete the fetch quest to end all fetch quest. I mean, all the games side quest are go fetch, but this one is fetch on a galactic level.

Man, such an overrated game."
