Perfection! This is a dish best served on the PC. Oblivion is a new way of life! Buy it! Why should you?
Gameplay
You play as a sort of savior. You start off in a prison until the Emperor releases you and sets you on your quest. This RPG uses experience as the leveling method. You choose a race, a class (you can choose one or create your own) and a birthsign (offers you benefits). As you use your major skills, you gain experience and level up. As you level up, you upgrade your attributes. There are hundreds of items and you can do anything. Be careful, if you kill an important person, you might have to restart. You can find quests or you can join guilds and recieve quests. As you complete quests, you can recieve rewards (money, items, etc) and go up in rank. There are the main storyline quests and tens of extras. You can uses weapons, spells or both to kill your enemies. To be brief, it is a lot like Morrowind but, with more options. The only thing that I did not like was that you can't use two weapons at the same time.
Graphics
Gamers that have played Half-Life 2 or Doom 3 will be blown away by this game. There is no other way to describe it.
Sound
The sound is beautiful with the voices, the music and actions. Set 5.1 Dolby speakers to reap the full sound of Oblivion.
Value
With all the great things about this game and the hundreds of hours that you can play this game, the price is well worth the value.
