I swear some people out there just want to say bad things about Oblivion for no other reason but to get attention. If you're reading reviews of this game with so many great ones out there the only ones you'll read are the bad ones. Cause if you're like me and know anything about video games, like the writers for every single magazing thats reviewed it you know, this game is amazing. It is definately one of the greatest I've ever played. I've logged over 60 hours of gameplay and I've only completed one quest for the main story. Thats just amazing. No other game allows you to avoid the main quest or storyline, Oblivion does. I bet I could play this game for 2 months and be no closer to beating it then I am today. The graphics are amazing, no matter what anyone says. Outside of Fight Night Round 3, no game has looked better. When you stand on the top of the Mountains and can see the whole world of Tamriel at sunset, it will steal your breathe. Sorry to those idiots who think the graphics suck, but you're a moron. The game has real time shadows, everytime I'm in a cave my shadow is on the wall and I could fight enemies by it. The detail in my character, from my armor to my weapon are simply astounding. The sound is great and the story totally sucks you in. Yes, there is a lot of loading and the frame rate does slow down every now and again. But lets face it, there is not even a computer out there for under 5000 dollars that could handle everything Oblivion is throwing at you without slowing down and you get it all for 299 bucks, plus the cost of the game. Review people for magazines dont lie to keep ad dollars. They give crappy reviews to games that spend more money on ads then Oblivion did. In fact Bulletbroof had more ads then Burger King does in Fight Night. Its the truth this game is the reason I bought an Xbox 360 and the reason I'll keep it. If you think this game sucks you have no clue what a good game is, just shut up and play LOTR Battle for Middle Earth on your PS2 geek.
