This game set a new standard.
User Rating: 9.5 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion X360
This game revolutionized many aspects of gameplay and raised the bar to a new height. The graphics are incredibly realistic and 3D. The music score is beautiful. The gameplay is challenging. The game map is HUGE. The replay value is through the roof. This game is so much more than just an RPG. You can set the difficulty rating to make the battles nigh impossible or impossibly easy. The character customization options are unmatched in complexity and number. The facial expression graphics and lipsynch graphics are also excellent. The storyline is deep and engrossing and incredibly addictive. I played this game for months on its release and it continues to be a 'staple' in my gameplay today. Bethesda rocks (well, at least for the Elder Scrolls line anyway). I cannot wait for Fallout 3!
