Started off well, then ended up very disappointed....

User Rating: 7 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PC
The Music and Graphics make screenshots and videos look great however when you get deeper into the game past the tutorial scripted story then you see disappointed throughout.

Gameplay:

At first i thought the game was breath taking but after all of that i thought the combat was dull and boring, the melee side of it was no way near as good as DMM&M, i know they're different games however for a FPS/RPG i expected more. The magic side of it again was dull and overall i found combat to be boring.

Also another pointless feature i found is why have levels if everythings going to scale in the game? Seems abit pointless to me but oh well just makes it tooo easy.

I also found the games main storyline was wayyyyyyy toooo short and i completed it withing about 6 hours at lvl 3........ normally main storys in RPG games should last 20-40 hours + but no this game lasted less time for me than a average FPS.

Anyways overall i just found the game to take a step back in the genre rather than forward.

Graphics:

They're really nice and eveything but some points get on my nerves....

- Dull boring lifeless world where all you see is grass and hill, it's not diverse enough for me like Morrowind or KOTOR etc etc...
- The character models look ugly and specially their faces and animations.
- The art is boring and generic
- houses do not have seethru windows....... Last time i saw this was years back lol.

Sound:

Music is great can't complain about the sound too altho the character speech and dialog was really pants.

Value:

It's about £20 now which is ok for a RPG and lots of modded content.

Overall it's nothing amazing but it's not the worst game in the world tooo, above average for me altho as a RPG it's not as good as others.
