A Solid Game with plenty to do Should you choose.
User Rating: 9.4 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PC
Oblivion has some of the best graphics I have seen in any game to date. The view distance is incredible and the interiors are detailed. However this comes at the cost of high system requirements which can be a problem on older systems. The game play is solid with the player having a wide range of strategies ranging from magic to marksmanship. There is a high level of customisability which allows players to make their own spells, potions and enchant weapons. Oblivion is massive and will satisfy any gamers needs for content. It revolves around a main quest but allows the player complete freedom to explore and complete side quests should he/she choose. The main quest itself is interesting but the most of the hours will be spent completing the side quests and exploring new dungeons. There is a vast array of weapons, armour, items and magic to give choice to the player and this adds another level to the game. This game is complex and it will take new players a while to understand all aspects of it but is highly addictive once mastered. The A.I. is impressive as you watch npcs live out their own lives by sleeping, working, eating ect. They will also defend themselves when attacked and the town guards are generally good at keeping peace. Oblivion's one flaw is that there is so much to do that you get bored before you have seen it all. It begins to get repetitive after a while of playing with the same dungeon textures again and again. However you should get your moneys' worth from this game. A must have.
