It's been almost four years since this game came out and it is still holding strong!
Graphics: 9.5/10
- It's been three years and the game still looks beautiful, colorful, and lively. Certain areas can be fairly dark if you don't have the right equipment though. I can guarantee that your jaw will drop too as soon as you walk out of the Imperial Sewers at the beginning of the game.
Sound: 9.5/10
- The sound in this game is incredible. The sound effects are very realistic and the music will change depending on the character's situation (i.e. Fast pacing music when you are in danger). However, the voice acting in this game can be annoying at times. There also isn't a large variety of voices as there are only 15 voice actors.
Gameplay: 10/10
- Seriously, I could write a novel about all of the different features of Oblivion. You can create different potions with a variety of ingredients, create spells of destruction, pickpocket an officer, rank up in various Guilds, become a vampire, and so much more! The game also in-cooperates physics as well. (i.e. An arrow curves when you shoot it).
I definitely recommend this game for either the Xbox 360 or the PC (the PS3 is known to have a lot of bugs and glitches). I also recommend buying the DLC for this game: Shivering Isles.
Seriously, get it. Hurry!
