Writing a review about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is hard. Because you have so many options: telling about the stunning graphics? Writing about the success on both the PC and 360? No, I would start with this: on the PS3 it is all better. Alright, there is no horse armor (but who cares anyway, Shadowmare -the horse you get after a certain quest in the Dark Brotherhood- can't even die) but that is not a problem. Let's talk about the details in the game:

Gameplay: Just brilliant. The controls are great, casting spells is easy, fighting is easy but fun, levelling works well (finally no experience points! Because if you jump your way through the game you will get high Athletics and Acrobatics) and it is just fun to play.

Graphics: Wonderful. Alright, games like The Darkness are absolutely better looking games, but still it looks amazing. It is a free-roaming game, and most of the time those games don't look so good (GTA, Crackdown).

Sound: Great too. It is very impressive that every word in the game is well voiced. There aren't so much different actors, but still. And the sound of actions, like swinging a sword, is well done.

Value: Extremely high. This game offers 200+ hours of gameplay, and it is a classic already.

Tilt: After you've played this game, you will think that it is boring that you can't breathe underwater or cast spells on others. It is probably the best game ever unleashed.

    It somehow took me a few days to realize how much I love Oblivion. I picked it up mostly due to glowing reviews and the absolutely huge online community that has grown up around it—it's always a good sign when you look s... Read Full Review
