"Oblivion” is quite simply, one of the most, well done pieces of art that has ever graced a game System -
STORY: Well you probably already know the story but I will tell you it anyway. As you first enter the world of Cyrildil, you find yourself in a jail cell with another guy in one across from you who starts talking smack. Then later on you hear the guards come and the emperor him self Uriel Septim, comes in your cell and tells you things, so you follow them though a dungeon that opens up in your cell and follow them though dark underground areas below the imperial City. Now in Oblivion you can literally be anyone you want, but if your a thief and caught you have 3 choices, Go to Jail, Pay a Fine, Fight to the Death and same goes for a murderer, just the consequences will be higher. You can also be in all four guilds at the same time. I am personally an all around character, because I like variety in killing my enemies.
GRAPHICS: I am just astounded at how amazing this game really is, it’s just incredible to see all of the different collars, landscapes and forests. The first time you get out in the forest you will literally be shocked at the amazing detail witch are the most beautiful in any game that I have ever seen. The cities are superbly constructed, with every city being totally different from the last. SOUND: The NPC's in Morrowind were so boring, that it just became a habit of mine to skip any unnecessary conversations as possible but not in Oblivion. Each time you talk to a person in Oblivion, they respond with a usually a different answer, that is interesting to hear. You will find yourself just talking to people just to see what the rumors are and to see if they have actually heard of you, in their travels.
ENTERTAINMENT: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is not only a must play for anyone it’s a must buy for an RPG fan (Role Playing Game). Im not really an RPG fan I just like it because it’s American. Because it is tons of fun, although im sure there is great happiness RPG's like Finale Fantasy and others but im more into FPS's. Ok now I will just show you the PROS and CONS.
PROS: Very intelligent A.I. witch has its own life and travels places and burns its dog if it is bothering it :lol: , A artistic masterpiece, with incredible views and amazing life like forests, First person and Third Person perspectives is what all of today’s games should be like and so you could see the battle your in and see far into the artistic distance, Great Inventory selection especially the hotkey tab that they put in, Owning your own houses, Horses and investing in shops, Challenging foes (at least at the beginning), Epic adventures that will make you play this game forever.
CONS: Well the main thing that is keeping this game from becoming a 10 in my review is its bugs. here some of them, that I have encountered so far - Whenever I destroy a Oblivion gate it almost always freezes and then I have to restart it, The game loads a new area almost every few yards and it used to be fine whenever I went over a loading spot. But just a few days ago it started to freeze for like 10 seconds to 3 minutes and sometimes it freeze's so long I have to restart it and then try it again which sometimes does the same thing. So I think the main con of this game is its loading times, which if your really unlucky with your game can cause you to really hate it but so far I have not encountered that bad of bugs, besides the loading times. One thing I would advise you to do is really, really keep your oblivion disk clean so that it will work as best as possible.
OVERALL: This is the Golden God of RPG games and if you’re looking for one for your 360, look no further because I can't think of a more imaginative game like this one which is worth it to buy. Despite, the bugs and slow downs which keep it from becoming a perfect 10 in my review I still highly recommend it.
